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