I was just thinking about this yesterday. Reading reports on American whites getting shorter, less intelligent and losing all hope for the future with nobody being able to afford housing. Lots of tats, mental illness, birth rates dying while immigrants swamping in everywhere. Fun stuff.
On what I have personally witnessed: The few years I lived in Idaho I watched the Boise area consume everything around it. Gas went from a $1.90 up to over $5, and it didn't drop down to four something till a year and a half ago. Housing exploded out there, with everything getting built up around the small apartment complex I used to live in. I took photos of the area over the course of 3 years and watched all the farmland and wilderness disappear.
I recently moved back to Washington to live closer to family. I live a couple hours away from Seattle, but the distance isn't far enough. Western WA, even the rural parts, is unaffordable for the average Joe. Eastern WA is cheaper, although family there complains of the prices going up over the years.
Visiting the area I grew up is depressing. Homeless folk, run down suburbs and generic metropolitan areas where forest used to be. Very few of my friends still live there. Depressing really. Been thinking of moving again, Eastern WA is better but still has its hardships. Would still be close to family.
I lived in Middleton ID when it was the area people ran to get away from the cops. I buried my cat in an open field that is now covered by suburbia.
The entire Northwest just slowly decayed and it's hard to describe the feeling of living there. Everything I loved was destroyed, and although I still have stuff I love, I'm scared to do it because of the other problems.
Central Florida is growing in waves. A friend in Oviedo used to live with hicks and sticks, and is now living in a big upper middle class neighborhood. He hasn't moved. I have bears near my house, the cowardly kind not the grizzlies, and a lot of cockroaches. I have been told directly that in the next five years it will be like Oviedo.
Phoenix is insane. I have friends that remember Surprise being far away from the valley. I lived when surprise was expected to join it any year now. Now the valley goes beyond Surprise.

I loved living in Boise in 2012-2019. They elected that flat out commie mayor about the time I left IIRC.
