"What other options provide good public schools, homes that are pleasant to be inside, and a clean/safe/well-functioning environment?"

Cities at one time were far superior to non-cities in precisely those ways. It is not an inherent flaw of cities, just a problem with how we manage American cities.

Regular people deciding where to live is at most a very small input into how we manage American cities.
