This New York Times political GeoGuessr is *fascinating*

I am just missing those micro-signals that I would *know* in UK or DE, but don't know for the USA...

nytimes.com/interactive/20…

Take this for example

Is there some micro-signal in that building I am missing that screams Biden?

Or a suburb like this?

It has sidewalks, so I'd lean Biden, but it was Trump

What about two-storey houses in suburbs like this? Does that make any difference?

But then this is Biden

Also some buildings you encounter are really horrid. Why would you build something like this?

(and sure, any country has its horrible buildings!)

What about:
- waste bins? (more recycling bins in Democrat areas?)
- cars? Apart from trucks, what's the trend? More US make small cars in Republican areas)
- overhead power lines? (implies old, so more Biden? Or poor, so more Trump?)
