You think Ukrainian Борщ (written stupidly in English as "Borscht") is hard to pronounce, but actually, you all know how to pronounce this щ letter, if you pronounce "question" like "kwesh-chun", this "sh-ch" is exactly as we Ukrainians pronounce the letter "щ". So how could anyone write "Borscht" with "shch" sound? It's Borshch!
To borscht or not to borshch, that is the borstion!
I'm not American in any way, but I am fond of urbanism. Imagine your cities built in a very car-centric way, so to get anywhere any time you always use a car. Your shoes are almost clean all the time. Home, car, groceries, car, home, car, office, car, bar, car, home. A park is miles away, you don't pass it by when you walk from the office. So I disagree with the barbarism. The concept is just suitable only for a specific urban design.
