>Oftentimes in the states the RR stations are still  where they were 
decades ago and the quality of the neighborhoods has decreased  significantly
 
It's not only the rail stations, but churches frequently end up in  areas
that are unsavory  A good example of that is Newark NJ Cathedral  of
the Sacred Heart finally completed in the 1940's in what was then a
pretty nice neighborhood.  Not so, now.  The parking lot is one  of those
fenced in affairs with 24/7 security.
 
This is a sad situation for what is probably the third USA RC  Cathedral
in size (after the Basilica in Washington, DC, and New York's
Saint Patrick's Cathedral.
