Just like the one for urban Southern neighborhoods, what would be similar examples of urban Western neighborhoods that would be viewed as being "gritty"?
West Coast cities tend to have heavy demand for space particularly close-in, which tends to push the grittiness to the older suburbs (and sometimes newer ones) in the unfavored quarter(s).
We also have the post-extraction-industry towns and exurbs, where our sawmills etc. are much like old car parts plants in the Midwest and textile mills in the South.
Tenderloin in SF is easily #1 - very urban and very gritty.
In Seattle, the International District and parts of Pioneer Square are definitely gritty. Tacoma has a couple of pretty gritty inner-core neighborhoods as well.
The Tenderloin.. ain't nothing tender about that mother******!
It's such a nasty & depressing area. Stinks 24/7 too
