    The only problem is that all these things are related and that makes it hard to choose what exactly I want to talk about.

I agree that that's difficult. Though, the nice thing about having one's own blog is that one can post whatever one would like. For example, one could create several posts exploring a particular topic to the creator's satisfaction :)

    I noticed when I went to Canada (which is basically America-Light) that there was a distinct lack of space that belonged to everyone.

Oh, that is a hornet's nest :) But, it is true that urban planning in Canada and the US are very, very similar.

True, but it's hard to post what I like when I don't yet fully understand what I like and want to show the world.

Hah, I know! Meant it on a city level. When I came to Canada to visit the Edmonton / Calgary / Rockies, I found it to fit my image of what America looks like pretty good. Especially the huge supermarkets, large highways and sprawl here and there. The small towns with a Main Street filled with fastfood drive-throughs. This was before I started studying urban planning though. Very interesting nonetheless.
