I understand. I’ve been myself exasperated why American Cities weren’t in better shape, but having learned throughout my life, I’ve learned how the cities were crippled by the decades long repukkke malice in the two-party system of USA that depended on bipartisan cooperation. That doesn’t mean that there haven’t been the cases wherein certain city officials incl. but not limited to Democratic ones (an example, eric adams of NYC) have been corrupt too - but they have their names and have been prosecuted or will be/can be. Democratic Party of USA is the first one to prosecute its own corrupt members. Something unthinkable in the opposite side of the aisle.
I agree that there is a war against cities that goes back decades. Examples include roads to facilitate transportation through or around cities. Growing up in New York roads came at the expense of public transportation. Though NYC did hold onto the nickel fare too long. But the fact is public transportation was a distant second to highways. Highways are important and can compliment public transportation.
Yep, also, even worse, the bigoted stereotyping, racism, molding of categories of diversity were instigated, in-boxed in ghettos, perpetuated by the bigots in the government, smuggling of firearms from elsewhere into the cities, disenfranchisement of education, profiteerist instead of humane healthcare etc…. repukkkes in the government prejudicially labeled the cities as “communist” (which to them is everything to the left of fascism) and have been hellbent on harming the cities with every means they could. I think Thom Hartmann and David Cay Johnston, among other good American thinkers and chroniclers, can explain in the best ways all that repukkke evil toward anything they targeted to hate.
