I think inner cities were nicer before cars were so ubiquitous and lots of independent neighborhood businesses could thrive because people weren't just going to jump in their cars and drive to the Walmart in the suburbs (or the one that was built where the factory used to be) and they hadn't destroyed the heart of the neighborhood in order to build a freeway and public transit was actually useful because there was no other way for most people to get around and it hadn't yet been systematically dismantled by petroleum companies and people in the suburbs hadn't started flipping out over the idea of spending money on public transit because back then they needed the trolley, too, and wanted it to come out to where they lived so they could ride it rather than living in fear that The Wrong Sort of People would use it to come to their neighborhood and rob them (as if The Wrong Sort of People don't have cars now, too?) and there were more manufacturing jobs and other jobs available so "working class" didn't have to mean "poor" and people actually got to know their neighbors and looked out for each other even though they were immigrants from different countries who hadn't been there long rather than people whose parents grew up down the street and they boast of how friendly and close the neighborhood is but they really just mean the portion of the neighborhood that is their relatives and childhood friends and they really aren't interested in making friends with new people, even after those people have lived in the neighborhood for a decade.

The destruction of community in America is a massive problem, both in itself and in terms of driving other negative social outcomes, and the thing is that no one has any fucking idea how to deal with it. People know it's happened but no one has anything close to a solution, regardless of political party or whatever.
