besides usa always looked like this. i remember when i was to the usa with parents as a little kid in 1998, it always looked like shithole, you could see homeless sleeping on sidewalk, a stench of poo and piss all around. i been to the usa like 5 years ago, the stench of poo and shit was as strong as always, but everything looked kinda better to me, more vivid and healthier a bit.  this trashy looks is typical for the usa, it was always like this, especially since 80s.
