Yeah, it's called america. Unless you zoom in on a liscense plate, you don't know WHAT state that is.

Well.....I guess it's not Hawaii. Besides that though.....

You’re not wrong, but if not for the massive billboards and the american branded vehicles- ive been to a number of cities in Europe and the UK that look like this or worse, with more traffic and more, much larger buildings….(i currently live in Germany…) Also, places in Hawaii do look like this, too, unfortunately…mostly Maui and Hawai’i where there’s this much space, but Ohau’s south shore has been bad far a long time 😕

If it came up in Geoguessr I'd say Mexico. But that's probably just because it looks a bit of a shithole. I'd wager there's plenty of the US like that too.

It's like 70% of urbanized America.

I'd actually wager that most of the US looks like that.

Reverse image search is yielding Colerain, Ohio. https://www.strongtowns.org/journal/2016/10/24/the-talisman-of-colerain

Mine found me an old reddit thread that says Cincinnati

Finally a way to defeat all those people good at geoguesser: pick an image just past the exit ramp of any major US highway.

Makes sense. Just because it's credited in a few sources as Colerain doesn't mean it's not really from somewhere else that's being treated as a sort of bummer stock photo location.
