It's more that you cannot warehouse massive numbers of chronically impoverished people in concrete silos without problems.

The "silo" isn't the problem, it's the lack of opportunities for employment, lack of access to basic amenities, etc.

People in wealthy silos, in downtowns, do fantastically. The problem was the systemic racism in the US, that enabled such a state of disinvestment and segregation, not the particular form of architecture.
