Dude from Not Just Bikes youtube channel had been travelling and living in over 60 countries for his job and when starting a family and settling down he concluded on Netherlands as the most ideal place. Course this is just about general cost and quality of living

Reply to eli5 why ancient historical buildings haven’t been kept up? Why are buildings like the Parthenon and the Colosseum in such disrepair? Greece and Rome/Italy have existed the entire time? by PickledSpace56
We value these ancient things more now as they are older and we live in a world of relative abundance so we can give a crap about such things. Most ancient structures have suffered from locals repurposing the materials for whatever else. It might be more relevant for a structure to last long if people arent around to fuck it up, thinking about south american temples, Macchu Picchu, Ankor Wat.
