Ded srs sometimes I see photos/vlogs of life in the big UK cities like London, Manchester, Leeds, Newcastle, Sheffield and I can see that except the city center (in some cases) the architecture in general looks very old in the bad sense. As if time stopped in the 1980s or 1990s and people never bothered to upgrade or clean.
Lots of badly maintained (darkened walls from smoke and pollution) industrial looking buildings and Victorian terraced homes. Public infrastructure like train stations, clinics or roads also look like they don't get much budget. Trash overflowing the containers and lots of cigarettes and takeout bags in the floor. However rural areas look much nicer.
Do the Brits just care about efficiency and not looks? It's really shocking to me even my country Spain which is much poorer has better maintained roads and buildings look more modern than in the UK. Except Franco's social housing from the 1950s to 1970s but I have to admit those blocks have some charm.
