I don’t think public parks in the 1950s in America were filled with used heroin needles and homeless people strung out or defecating.

You can correct me if I’m wrong though.

Good news! They aren't filled with used heroin needles today as well!

From my understanding cities like NYC were actually in a really bad shape in 1950s and after compared to now, until around the 90s

Edit: actually, from what I find in the 1950s there was even ongoing heroin epidemics, in addition to gang warfare, and of course racial inequality
