It’ll probably look similar to what it was in the 90s

Ruined cities, barren lands, nature taking over but at snail pace

Does this place still exists in NYC or did they replace it with glass walls with ads for Shumely's dildos?

100 years from now we're going to consider clouds living beings and refer to groups of clouds as 'flocks'

Why did the west go from a society that had varied roots like Greco-Roman and Egyptian influences to one entirely dominated by "Judeo-Christian"?

Ackshually our brains are still very much stuck in the neolithic, evolutionarily speaking

I believe the US will look much like India today. Probably worse and much more dangerous. I don't doubt the existence of a place that'll exist in the US will be a new paradise, like a giant city or so, but it will only be accessible to those who can afford to live there. A place where you cannot be some homeless bum on the street, as there will be certain enforcements to maintain the image of being a "paradise". A paradise only for the elite. A place ran by AI, to keep a city truly peaceful.
AI will advance to something beyond our comprehension. And because capitalism is essentially the freedom to trade, corporations will take advantage of this technology, utilizing it to cut costs for the sake of profit. This includes employment, benefits for said employees, thus furthering the gap of two classes: the rich and the poor.
With this advancement of AI, essentially eliminating the use of work, the US government will have 3 choices: UBI, socialism, or continue it's traditional practice of capitalism. The US debt shows us that pretty soon, even SSI won't cut it. Money float shows that the 1% hold more than the 97% cumulative, which is indicative to the furthering of the gap between the rich and the poor. UBI is not possible without killing the value of USD.
Socialism is highly unlikely. So much so, that I'm willing to bet that we'd see a civil war prior to this ever happening. I believe this is highly unlikely.
Which leaves us to the last option, which I believe is what will be true: the continuance of traditional capitalism, with the incorporation of AI. This will kill employment outlook, thus, making employment a commodity or something that is highly desirable. Work will become scarce amongst the common people. You ever pass by a homedepot and see a bunch of Mexicans waiting for work? Imagine typical Americans doing this almost everywhere. Crime will skyrocket, no place will be safe but said paradise. It's inevitable.

Thats why we go mouse utopia when trapped in a bug hive city. Our brains are that of stone age hunter gathers, not insects.

the two dudes I selected are about the same height, but that still shouldn't be such a visibly jarring difference for the scale of the buildings

Height changes based on early life nutrition. People shrank when they became sedentary farmers.
