People keep saying this and I personally don't really believe it, I think there could be a couple riots, but not like a full on civil war. What does everyone think?

I agree that zoning can really improve things.

Which can be helped by changes in local government. But today there is little involvement in city and town government.

Probably this lack of participation is because most people of the USA moved and changed careers multiple times in the last two generations. A greater percentage did this than in the first Industrial Revolution.

And it happened while changes in family structures and long distance communication changed. A perfect recipe for lack of civic involvement .
