It was a combination of the automobile and white flight that sent people, money and development out to the suburbs, a move very much supported and engineered by politicians and business interests. Once in the suburbs, you still had to travel by car to the malls that were springing up. Those new houses typically got rid of the front porch and allowed you to drive into your garage and enter your house without being outside. Architecture played to the private rather than the public sphere. There's been a movement to change that. One of the struggling malls in our bedroom suburb plans to follow a new template where they replace the anchor retailers at each end of the mall with apartment units. The pedestrian part of the mall is turned into a park or greenspace. That greenspace is lined with the mall stores much like before, but now it looks like a small town and has the residents/pedestrians already built in. Anyone remember the film "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?" Obviously a big silly comedy, but the plot was closely based on the true story of how political and business forces in Los Angeles sabotaged public transit in order sell cars, suburban tract homes, and huge highway developments. That is a cool idea! 1 Link to comment

North Platte has done the same thing to their mall. It was basically empty and they have completely recreated a very nice area around it with apartments and other types of shopping. Grand Island is starting to do the same thing. Link to comment

Is EVERYTHING racist to you? One would think you would know the post is about out of wedlock births, the economic situation in general for said births and who it affects the most. One would also notice white folk aren’t at the top of the food chain here so it’s tough to make it racial, yet here we are 1 1 Link to comment

It does. It's literally the same graph that would be used by the left to promote sex-ed and proactive programs in low income areas that happen to be primarily populated by minorities. The main difference is the point that is trying to be made...if he has one... What's funny is the people posting this are generally the same folks saying to quit making things about race! 1 Link to comment
