While I appreciate your appreciation of your American home compared to Romania, the point is that Eastern Europe is behind for a reason and some countries have and will catch up. There’s absolutely no reasons for the US to look as shitty as it does. It wasn’t behind the iron curtain in 1985. there was no reason for that level of decay.
It could also be you’ve never been to the rust belt which looks FAR worse than Romania right now. I rode Amtrak through the skids of Indiana and Pennsylvania and it was brutal.
