At the earliest, it's the 40's, that was before the highways and the massive urban renewal projects, redlining, segregation and white flight were just getting starting and weren't really noticeable at all. The 50's is a wash, you could argue 60's but the problems were clear as day by then and much of the damage already done but US cities were still mostly functional.
70's and 80's? LOL forget it, the US was in a total chaos cesspool during those times with barely any functionality, that's not to say that we still aren't a joke and a mess of a country today.
