I disagree. NYC is the same, just at lower resolution. The segregation happens along small blocks and avenues rather than towns. I live along the "tracks" on 4th Ave in Brooklyn. The difference is stark-- both in terms of demographics and steep drop-offs in property prices and rents.
Segregation is not good, but having it at low resolution at least allows some interaction across lines, which is positive. Such interaction is more unlikely when the segregation is at the town or village resolution.
