2016 for me.

Several vacations later, we find we miss some bits but don't really need it. The USA just gets scarier every year and Europe is just so much nicer for biking and walking.

Not only that, but for some reason, Americans have felt the need to step up their disdain for aethetics, e.g. putting up indistinguishable warehouse-style buildings everywhere, bolting eye-searing LED light fixtures to every square meter of the building façade, paving everything possible, and eradicating charm or grace in public spaces. It's gotten really bad since the pandemic.

It’s gotten really bad since the pandemic.

There's been a Taco Bell every other block since the 80s.
