It’s a hard problem. One avenue of improvement that I think about frequently is re-socialization of suburban and rural dwellers to urban life: it’s a lot easier to convince non-urban dwellers that our cities are lawless warzones when their only experiences of their local city are the news or through the windshield of their car. I think re-densification and mass transit will (if we ever manage to do them) do wonders to counter the shrinkage of social spheres/spheres of participation that suburbanization has caused.
