is (insofar as a neighborhood is build up all at once) not a living being but is dead from birth. It shows a strange inability to update itself, enliven itself, repair itself, or be engaged with by a new generation. It doesn't change but people's feelings toward it do. People don't notice it's always been dead until the corpse began to smell.

Neighborhoods built up all at once change little physically over the years as a rule. . . [Residents] regret that the neighborhood has changed. Yet the fact is, physically it has changed remarkably little. People's feelings about it, rather, have changed. The neighborhood shows a strange inability to update itself, enliven itself, repair itself, or to be sought after, out of choice, by a new generation. It is dead. Actually it was dead from birth, but nobody noticed this much until the corpse began to smell. Jane Jacobs
