Suburbs began to sprawl out across the countryside, since most of those making the move were middle-class, they took with them the tax money the
15、 cities needed to maintain the neighborhood, in which they had lived. The people left in the cities were often those who were too old or too poor to move. Thus many cities began to fall into disrepair. Crime began to soar, and public transportation was neglected. (In the past sixty years, San Franci
16、sco is the only city in the United States to have completed a new mass transit system. ) Meanwhile, housing construction costs continued to rise higher and higher. Middle-class housing was allowed to decay, and little new housing was constructed. Eventually, many downtown areas existed for business

Given these circumstances, some business executives began asking, “Why bother with going downtown at all? Why not move the offices to the suburbs go that we can live and work in the same
