The smaller Massachusetts cities are nowhere as bad as the smaller cities in Connecticut and New Jersey. |

To be fair, Levittown was a very early suburban experiment and it's actually pretty dense compared to a lot of later suburbia (pop. density is like 7,500 ppsm IIRC). That seems more hospitable to local businesses. |

It's almost as dense as LA
It does have that curved street + strip mall thing, though so it does feel very suburban |

Washington DC used to be like this. But I'm glad it is no longer viewed this way.
Or at least it is significantly diminished.

Cincinnati. Though it may be less fear and more animosity.

In Chicago, it feels this way, even though downtown is fairly safe. Most suburbanites who work in the suburbs rarely, if ever venture into the city, unless they're going to some special event, sporting event, concert etc. And most who commute to work in the city only go there, then immediately go back home once they're off. I'd say there's a fairly large suburban/city divide for the most part in Chicago, and I'm pretty sure feeling unsafe in the city is absolutely at least a part of this divide.
