American cities used to be based 50-60 years ago

american cities used to be based 50-60 years ago.

sure, there was congestion, pollution, and crime that is the inevitable outcome of so many people clumping together in one location.

however, most american cities (excepting cities in the antebellum south) during the mid-20th century were mostly white, and main streets and downtown areas were thriving and the center of all activity in the area. cities that peaked in their influence during this time frame featured densely populated neighborhoods laid out in a grid pattern which encouraged walkability and a high amount of social mobility within the city.

cities at this time were not sprawled out very far beyond the city limits and there was very little empty space or blight within the city center, as this is where the majority of people lived!

fast forward to 2016, and the vast majority of american cities are but a hallow shell of what they used to be. it seems whites have lost almost all interest in urban living with the advent of affordable automobiles and the highway system. sure, many cities (nyc, san francisco, chicago) are experiencing gentrification of inner-city neighborhoods by whites, but these areas have become a playground of the rich and/or highly educated. blue-collar whites generally cant afford to live in the city proper (lest they move in to nigger-land) or strongly prefer to live outside city limits.

my question to Sup Forums is this: why is there such a disdain among whites, particularly conservative or blue-collar whites, of cities and urban living in general? why have whites fled our once great american cities in such high numbers, leaving nothing but blight and niggers in our wake? why couldnt we dig our heels in and protect what we created? are we so scared of minorities that we cannot cope with living near them? have we lost our ability to mesh together and socialize, preferring to isolate ourselves in cookie cutter neighborhoods sporting unnecessarily large yards?

To put it simply, success breeds jealousy.

They were also more dangerous. As the percentage of white people goes down, crime rate falls. How interesting.

Modern cities are like going to a foreign third world country, you need to be super rich to feel comfortable in that environment.

if im looking at this correctly, this is the crime rate of the ENTIRE us from 1973 onward. this hardly seems like a relevant statistic as crime rates in general have gone down quite a bit. if im missing something here, please explain.

>why is there such a disdain among whites, particularly conservative or blue-collar whites, of cities and urban living in general?

You said it yourself user... people that annoy you? N*GGERS

>train on the fuckng street with the cars

O shit nigger what are you doing???

Why? You answered your own question faggot.

1. Expensive
2. High crime rate
3. Niggers

Do you even know what the word 'based' means?

Never mind joos/niggers, the best way to improve the world would be to gas people like you, incapable of any rational thought whatsoever.

and yet i cannot find any rational thoughts in your post

We still have this to an extent in Boston. They're just fenced off in their own lane, and they have to stop for pedestrian walk cycles/red lights. Still, its 90% underground.

>Modern cities are like going to a foreign third world country, you need to be super rich to feel comfortable in that environment.
not necessarily, small cities (~200k - 1m) can still be nice

...

Except chicago, flynt, detroit and on and on

I hope the artist of this picture is joking

t.Poorfag living in a dem city

what major city ISNT democratic anymore? all the conservatives left most cities a long time ago. this is exactly what im talking about.

i think the picture is cute but poorly represents the reality of the situation.

Usually over fly over states, and even then those are small cities at best.

>reported crime rate
Niggers don't call the police when they see a dead body or a rape victim, it's an everyday occurence

>Why?
Because urban renewal and modernism happened.
You used to have normal cities, but starting in the 50s the federal government spend a fuckton of cash to raise them to the ground to make room for inner-city highways under Icke's National Highway Plan. Mostly because of 2 reasons:
1) it's the current year ("I mean come on it's 1955 we can't have narrow streets like back in the horse and buggy day's")
2) Detroit's car companies spending ludicrous amounts of money to lobby for highway construction (and dismantling of public transport) because more roads = more incentives to buy a car = Profit!!! Thus individual car transport is the most heavily subsided form of transport and yet the most prevalent.
Once the ball got rolling it went from there: more cars needed more parking space and more roads so more and more neighborhoods were demolished to make room for more car parks and wider roads. People who could afford it fled to suburbia to escape what became of the cities (congestion, noise, crime etc.), but it only fueled further degradation of inner cities.

Tldr: It's all because of socialism

because in cities, the police do not allow you to have guns, and niggers take advantage of it

also, as whites are the master race, they naturally want to work on their houses, they want to renovate the building in their spare time, to tinker and work on projects in the garage / shed, to raise animals and plants, this kind of natural urge to do productive activities is in their blood. you can't fucking do that this in the city in some fucking apartment, so a real trueblood white guy cannot live there as it is abominable to his natural inclinations of controlling his environment

Post the fascist edit

there's a fine line, but a huge difference, between people who actually own land for a reason and the fat, lazy, and entitled new age conservatives who inhabit homes with rooms they don't use, yards they don't even take care of themselves, and tinkering hobbies that ultimately do nothing but line the pockets of the hardware store owner.

now duplicate this person a million times over and you have modern suburbia.
