Water pressure is an interesting one. I have heard that there are lots of places around the world where the power goes out daily sometimes and other times pretty regularly. My power goes out after a big storm and that can be annoying but only dealing with it 2x a year on average sounds like a dream next to some place outside the US.
So infrastructure is a pretty huge plus.
I'll go ahead and say police and the law to make a civilized place. You can't appreciate it when you know nothing else growing up but when you study other places in the world and history, living in a place that you can pretty much bet that you will make it to your destination without violence is so huge in life. America is pretty dope.
