Are American Cities in a bad state? Generally Yes.

Are they improving?

Also Yes!

It is so important to not lose hope for our cities and their futures. Because we need to improve our cities and make them more livable and the only way to do that is to fight for said improvements. And it is working. Houston Passed Proposition B yesterday allowing for proportional representation in their metro planning association. LA is massively expanding the metro with Measures R and M. California High-speed Rail is being built. New York is about to begin the largest subway expansion in over 50 years with the IBX and 2nd Avenue Subway. Chicago is about to extend the Red Line to the far south side. Seattle is building out the largest Metro project in the country with ST2 and ST3. The NEC just received over 16 billion in funds to repair and replace aging infrastructure. America is not beyond saving and there is so much momentum towards a better future that you can’t allow yourself to give up at this critical moment
