"Anyone from the US who has flown overseas to modern, industrialized countries in the past decades will note the aging look of the US"

True. Whenever I get visitors from Germany they always comment on how run down a lot of parts of the US look.

I was in Stuttgart in 2001 or so. If that's what a 1st world country looks like, I'm starting to worry about the US.

Most of the Bay Area has that look. Houses built in the 1950s and 1960s.

Landing in any American Airport never fails to shock me. Equally the clash between passport control and the commercialism of the rest of the airport. I was first in SFO in 1995, I'm pretty sure there hasn't been an update to border control since then, and I'm always given a good few hours to study the place.
