At one time, a move to the suburbs was The American Dream for many families. However, despite the success of Levittown, impoverished 'inner-ring' suburbs - those closest to the urban core of metropolitan cities - like Lansdowne, MD, are in decline. As aging housing stock, foreclosures, severe fiscal problems, slow population growth, increasing poverty, and struggling local economies affect inner-ring suburbs, what can be done to save them? "Once the American Dream" analyzes this downward trend, examining 5,000 suburbs across 100 different metropolitan areas and census regions in 1980 and 2000.
