Default Cities with the most urban blight?
What cities do you think have the most urban blight? By this I mean boarded up houses, boarded up storefronts, buildings that are falling apart, weeds growing out of the cracks in the sidewalks, ect.

Out of big cities I'd say Detroit, St. Louis, Cleveland, Kansas City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Cincinnati, Newark, Baltimore, and Washington DC.

Out of little cities I'd say
East St. Louis,Illinois
East Cleveland,Ohio
Chester,PA
Irvington,New Jersey
Gary Indiana
Harvey,Illinois
Chicago Heights,Illinois
Camden,NJ
East Orange,NJ
Flint,Michigan
Hamtramck,Michigan
Trenton,NJ

There isn't a big city out there that doesn't have blight, including lots of cities you didn't name.

I know that, but the question was cities that you think have the most urban blight so feel free to put whatever cities you want down. Also some cities don't have very much urban blight like newer southern and western cities.

Houston. You can be in the most prestigious neighborhood and still see rundown places.

Sections of the south Bronx, parts of eastern Brooklyn. I also saw a lot of that when I was in E.St Louis, along with some other small parts of that city.
