You and CJ had insisted it was the economic problem, which suggests that all would be well but for that. Again, take Murray's Fishtown. It dates back to the 18th century and while the exact ethnic makeup changed over time, it was fairly stable as to most sociological measures until the deindustrialization of the 1960s. It wasn't until the decline of economic opportunity that the "pathologies" you seem to think were already there but papered over by the people not having to live under the gun actually manifested. Now it very well may have been that if the deindustrialization hadn't of happened that those things would have happened anyway. But there is no reason to think that.
