> I am not aware of any location in the USA (or anywhere else in the world, for that matter) where a downtown was torn down for fear of riots.  There are a few cities where large numbers of buildings have been abandoned by their former owners because of the collapse of the local economy, after the primary employer went out of business, but that is not the same thing.


detroit?

even in Paris huge amounts of the old city were tore down in the 19th century

There are other examples, those are the most famous...
