You missed Los Angeles. There is an incorporated city just south of downtown called Vernon (S2 of True Detective was based on this place) there where about 100 people live and 45,000 work each day. If you take the train into L.A. from the south it looks like what Pittsburgh or Cleveland probably looked like in the 1930's.
L.A. built a reputation as a city of industry starting in the 1890's, and unlike the others, never really fell off.
Surprisingly, Seattle could be up there. There's a large industrial section of the city called Georgetown that divides West and South (really southwest and southeast) Seattle and is clearly visible from downtown, and you also see several miles of it coming up I-5 from Portland. I always feel like I'm in a Great Lakes city when I drive around the surface-level streets through it.
New York could be on this list as well.. If you're driving to the city on the New Jersey Turnpike, you pass through a massive industrial area as you wind through north Jersy and the Meadowlands; it goes for miles...
