The more I know/ learn about NYC in general, the more I truly think it's the best City in the World, (Not just in the US though), Of course most people can't afford to own a Home there, but who care's the City is Fantastic, I wish LA had the same Urban Layout, & I wish Chicago had less Crime, both Cities have Deficiencies in which NYC doesn't. The only real City IMO that's like NYC is Toronto, & even then, Toronto is not as much of a Player as NYC, & say London, but I do like Toronto more than London & also NYC more than London, between it & Toronto I'd say I like both pretty equally tho.

Toronto's a Happy Medium/ replacement for NYC though IMO, I even heard Gary Vee (Native New Yorker & Entrepreneur), saying that Toronto felt "New Yorkie" to him, & after NYC it's the City in the World he would live in the most. IMO Toronto has fewer Deficiencies than Chicago, (where it comes to Crime), & is more Urban than LA, it just isn't as big as either, but I still think it's more reasonable to believe it's World Class on a level like NYC than any of the other Big US Cities though, Toronto's claim to fame always took me as a bit more reasonable than the other Big North American player's.

No, they're not. The most dangerous neighborhood on the South Side of Chicago, Englewood, has a lot of abandoned houses and vacant lots, but it also has a freaking Whole Foods. Quite a bit different than that video.

They both have areas that look bombed out, but the vast majority of their worst hoods don't look anything remotely like dystopian areas of Detroit or St. Louis due to differences in housing stock/density.

This is smack in the middle of one of the highest murder rate census tracts in the city

Idk I'm from northeast Baltimore but I've been in Detroit metro for awhile now. When I think of Baltimore's worst neighborhoods I typically think of blocks like 1825 N Chester St
https://maps.app.goo.gl/gLa2qbyhKbAzdJTa7

Detroit and other rough midwest cities are less dense though so I think the empty fields between houses might give some areas a more desolate feel. The worst neighborhoods I've been to in Detroit have been off 6, 7 and 8 mile where it still looks bad but it's not like the streets where every house is burned down or half the block is missing.
