I recall seeing the dividing line between neighborhoods in Cincinnati once. One side of the street, suburbia, if a bit aged. On the other side of the street, shanty-town if with somewhat more permanent structures.
Also note American cities are structured in such a way that few move on foot (other than some notable exceptions like downtown New York City). Everyone in automobiles. If one is on foot, there are few shops or restaurants where one can step into to avoid trouble on the street. Europe is different. The bigger streets have a lot of pedestrians are largely walkable.
