That was from when white flight was at its peak and cities were razing buildings to keep hobos from living in them, though sometimes the hobos themselves would end up setting the building on fire while trying to keep warm. Pic related is from Google Earth (I don't have a helicopter so that'll have to do) and is what the area looks like today. OP's pic is from half a century ago and while cities remain car centric, using a photo from the 1970s isn't very useful except as a cautionary tale.
