in some parts of DC, there large residential alley areas, densely packed- but not all of them were bad places.

Yes- the gov't and pirate sector office buildings rose up after 1940 and took out a huge amount of housing that was here. Just around the US Capitol- hundreds, if not thousands of residential dwellings were destroyed in the post war period. Not to mention the SwSe freeway that destroyed some of the most historic buildings in the city.

And the freeway went in after the preservation people had organized. They obviously were not effective in stopping it.
