Samoans ask are some cities worth the communal effort

Community for Samoans is a natural and logical step when settling into an area, the question today though is, if areas are worth the communal effort. In some community discussions, some circles are saying the city they've witnessed is hopeless, and looking to die into even more slum like or prison like conditions. There are questions and warnings of cities who've ruined themselves past a breaking point and made possibly a permanent place of depression, living under a copied work trap with no imagination.
