Two points.
1. Those things will never happen
2. People like this well meaning author refuse to see (are afraid to see?) the elephant in the room that insures that those things will never happen - the black majorities in those cities.

Let me know when you find one. You can search Africa too.
Most modern factories are at one level.
In Baltimore and Detroit, factories were commonly spread over several floors.
Modern factories need far fewer workers than in the past.
Baltimore’s main private economic driver is the Johns Hopkins Hospital system.

I believe Atlanta, GA and Richmond, VA satisfy your search parameters.
The violence of 21st Century Baltimore is a follow-on to the ‘War on Drugs’.

Modern violence is commonly between drug dealers fighting for turf.
“The Baltimore City Public School System currently includes 34 charter schools, serving nearly 12,000 students each year.”

This is exactly right, imagine the economic growth just from rebuilding modern factories here! We need an industrial Renaissance now!
6. Outlaw panhandling
Atlanta and Richmond come in just after Oakland in the cities with the most violent crimes.
