How come old train stations look like grand palaces but modern airports look like a crappy mall mixed with an Amazon warehouse? Have we lost our pride in travel?

Grand old train stations of architectural significance were a symbol of welcoming passengers to a city and a source of civic pride.
Airports, by contrast, are more utilitarian – with the emphasis on efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
Yup look at the state of the trains in the us.
It’s more of a function over form deal.
Yep…once upon a time travelling was a big event, people would get all dressed up and the accomodations and food were high class. Now people are hearded around like cattle.
Check out Beijing Daxing International Airport, it’s fucking insane!
