Crime comes from poverty. The US prison system isn't designed to rehabilitate it's designed to create even harder criminals. Ex-cons have the least opportunity of anyone.
I think people like you simply don't understand that many, MANY criminals are simply not fit for civilized society no matter how hard you try to rehab them. Many people bring up places like Norway and how they rehab their criminals and I bet you a million dollars right now that if you sent America's most hardcore and dangerous criminals to Norway for rehabilitation using their methods, the Norwegians would quickly realize that they need to keep most of them locked up forever.
The fantasy that everyone can be saved doesn't agree with reality where many of these criminals are such horrid human beings that they can NEVER be released into public again if you want to keep innocent people safe. Better to just execute them than to waste any more of earth's resources keeping them alive any longer.
Of course a city like Gary is not going to spontaneously turn around because it doesn't even have the infrastructure to support a population - it has little to no grocery stores, schools, and shopping, not to mention the actual city infrastructure itself - meanwhile every neighboring city to the east, west, and south of Gary have all of those things.
Places like Gary don't have all that infrastructure because anytime anyone tries to build and maintain such things, the people there quickly plunder and destroy it. You could pour a trillion dollars into Gary and build that city up to be new and having everything people need to live a decent life there and then come back in 5 years and see most of it looted and destroyed because that's what most of those people do.
On the otherhand you could remove the entire population of Gary and replace them with Japanese people and come back in 5 years and see how quickly it has grown simply because some people in the world can adapt to whatever environment they're given and find a way to improve and make things better by working together towards a common goal.
Now it just suffers from the after effects of what I already explained and its entrenched bad reputation from people like you that make up Amerikkka.
The bad reputation that America has mostly comes from the demographic that can't settle anywhere on the planet in any significant numbers without bringing huge amounts of crime, violence and other problems with them. As I said China is the only exception to this rule where a large black population is mostly peaceful and non-violent because they know the Chinese don't tolerate their bad behaviors like they do in the west. That's why most of them stay in line there and don't cause much trouble.
Of course Gary is predominately black because that's what the historical conditions mandated. Where the fuck else were 20th century black people going to live?
As someone else said Gary CAN become a good place to live if the people living there want to work towards that goal. Unfortunately few people there right now want to do that and instead prefer to let things turn to utter crap. It doesn't matter if you move them all to Beverly Hills and give them all mansions, they'll still turn that area into crap with high crime rates. On the otherhand if you bring a decent, peaceful hardworking population to a place like Gary or Detroit or East St. Louis, they'll turn those places into safe communities that others want to move to.

Sometimes locations do create slum conditions, as with NYC's 5 Points neighborhood -- it was on the site of a filled-in lake, which led to buildings sinking, methane leaks, poor drainage, and diseases stemming from standing water and mosquitoes.
The condition of an area might create slum conditions, but it doesn't create violent and criminal people. You can live in poverty and NOT turn to violence and crime and turn your neighborhoods into dangerous places to live in addition to being poor. All you have to do is look at the countless poor areas all across Asia where hundreds of millions of people live in far, FAR worse poverty and squalor than anyone in any western city does outside of the homeless and you'll see that poverty didn't make all those people turn to violence and crime.
Rather than turning to crime, the vast majority of those people simply want a job that can support their families and makes enough money so that their children can get a proper education. And yet in the west certain demographics of people have education, decent housing and other social services handed to them on a silver platter and still they find a way to screw things up and be largely unable to lift themselves out of poverty and crime.
My point is that these perceptions and fears, whether they were true or not, played a major role in the development patterns of US cities and freeways, and that their absence explains why things turned out differently in Europe and other more racially-homogeneous places
The thing is in most cases these fears WERE TRUE and the statistics have shown this to be fact. No one like living around violent and criminal people and when your area turns to crap where your family and property is no longer safe, then you leave. Its interesting to me that there's only one or two groups of people who consistently ruin places that they populate in large numbers and then cry about racism when others decide to leave for someplace safer. Well if you don't want people leaving then its simple. STOP BEING SO VIOLENT AND CRIMINAL.
We have people from all corners of the earth living in the US, Canada and other western nations and its ALWAYS the same couple of groups who have the most problems living peacefully in any country that they settle in significant numbers.
Also with regards to many US cities and how they grew to have so much sprawl while the car certainly aided in that, the real reason is that it all comes down to the huge amounts of space available in North America in comparison to Europe and elsewhere. When you have vast amounts of land to build on, people aren't going to be mindful of not wasting it by building with more density rather than just plowing over new areas of land to build on.
Imagine if the US mainland wasn't one single country, but instead where each state was its own individual nation, I guarantee you that almost every one of these new nations would be high density because they're FORCED to be. When you no longer have tons of space to waste, you conserve what you have.
