Yeah, I'd agree with this. Of course results may vary, but generally speaking, all U.S. cities (and probably most western first world cities) were turning to crap in the 70's. And almost all U.S. metros had tons of 90's-era sprawl.
The 1970's meant huge urban expansion in Asia and Latin America, but in North America/Europe, cities were really looking like shit. Even 1970's-era Paris looks really grimy. You could have filmed Taxi Driver there.
