First thing I noticed about the US that no place in Australia looked as decrepit as parts of major US cities did

Do you think this in part reflects the move of U.S retail to malls & online rather than main street/high street shopping 🛍

No. This was in New York

Ah, New York is one of the dirtiest cities I've ever stayed in.

I lived in DC for 4 years and the roads! Unbelievable.

Not much point having a great surface if it only gets used for parking, but yeah.

Aint it! And the way the UK has changed over the last 25 years in that regard with places that aren't full of rich people too.

I’m in NL and on every recent trip I’ve taken to the UK the poor condition of public infra has stood out to me. Even in ‘rich’ places like Cambridge, potholes everywhere!

Concrete cancer is what gets me. Completely avoidable concrete cancer on infrastructure and buildings.

Did they give up and opt to pray as the fix for the school building roofs? Just wait for one collapse.
