Yes, I was recently on the train and noticed how run down it seemed. Even worse was Baltimore though. There were just whole blocks of houses boarded up.
Those hoods are not eve bad...there may be projects there or low income housing but it appears well kept and there some pretty nice vehicles parked in the street....not too mention it doesn't look abandoned.
Just because there may be lower income people there it doesn't make it a bad place to live.
I rest my case. However, there are a few nice-looking areas of the city, to be fair.
I have looked through every post and this is definitely the hands down winner. It kind of looks like a nuclear bomb was detonated. About the only thing that is missing is dead bodies laying in the streets.
Oh, and by the way, I live near East St.Louis and it does not compare to some of the places that I've seen on here.

It's hard to believe there are places like that in the USA.
It looks like Eastern Europe or somewhere like that..
check this out its hilarious "Dear Sweet Mother of God, we 're in Eastern Europe"!

Thats bc the city isnt going to let area turn into slums in 2010....all the slums have been cleared out or it would look like Baltimore today...D.C is tricky though...you may think an area is sweet until you stay there long enough to understand its somebody's territory which you dont belong..if ppl knew what the old D.C was like........
I'll put in another vote for Detroit, at least the ghetto, burned down spots within it (i.e. not where I lived--it was ghetto, but not burned to the ground and there were families there). Myself, though, I have an affinity for ghettos as I can somehow see the beauty in all of the death and destruction. Don't ask me how....I guess you learn to love what you grow up around (e.g. I can't stand classical because I never listened to it).
New Orleans is the worst,IMO. Also Chicago. Some of these pictures can get disturbing.
