The notion of the American dream has evolved, with a shift away from big cities once seen as thriving hubs of opportunity and excitement. Previously, urban life promised easy access to amenities, cultural diversity, and numerous job and educational prospects. However, these cities are now facing significant challenges, including rising crime rates and gang violence, leading to concerns about safety and overall quality of life. As urban areas deteriorate, the allure of big cities diminishes, prompting many to reconsider their aspirations. The once vibrant metropolis is increasingly characterized by decay and fear, overshadowing the dreams associated with urban living. This shift underscores a broader societal discontent, suggesting that the traditional American dream needs re-evaluation in the face of contemporary urban issues.
