In conclusion, an unlivable city is a place where residents face significant challenges in their daily lives due to factors such as poor living conditions, lack of access to basic needs, and reduced quality of life.
However, it is possible to make an unlivable city livable through a combination of government policies, private sector investments, and community engagement. Solutions such as increasing police presence, implementing community policing programs, and investing in programs that address the root causes of crime, promoting clean energy, and encouraging sustainable transportation options, increasing the supply of low-income housing, implementing rent control policies, and creating financial assistance programs for renters and homebuyers, creating new parks and preserving existing green spaces, promoting urban agriculture, and incorporating green roofs and other forms of green infrastructure into city planning, and promoting access to nature by creating bike and walking paths, and encouraging the use of public transportation are some of the ways to address the issues that make a city unlivable.
It is important to note that making a city livable is a continuous process and requires a long-term perspective. It involves constant monitoring and evaluation of the changes and the needs of the residents, and making adjustments accordingly. A livable city is one that is designed and managed to provide residents with a high quality of life, and where people can live, work, and play safely and comfortably, and promotes equity and inclusivity for all.

Regarding the root causes of crime, people often cite poverty. But most poor people are not violent criminals. If they were then, the homicide rate would increase by 1000x.
If someone is starving and steals food that is understandable.
Someone starving killing others is a reach.
Most homicides are committed by people who were born to be violent

The most important is safety. Low crime and zero homeless.
Rent control is a terrible policy. This has been demonstrated in the last 100 years in multiple countries.
Public housing has been a disaster in USA. High crime and high drug dealing domiciles.
Tokyo is a model city. Zero crime, zero homeless, clean and affordable housing. How did Tokyo solve the affordable housing question? They encouraged developers to build more housing units. Supply and demand curves still work
Notice the high crime rates in countries outside of Europe and USA. Maybe we should restrict immigration from those areas to increase livability in USA and Europe
