Nashville's rough areas are Memphis-esque, they just aren't as widespread across the city because of the investment you mentioned. Plenty of gangs and blight in Nashville, there's another similarity...
Not even close, as Nashville's areas are being gentrified. It is worth a visit if you have not been in a while. Geodis Park and surrounding areas have mixed used developments and several former warehouse spaces like May Hosiery have been readapted. Same goes for East Nashville, Bordeaux, Germantown, South Nashville, and more recently even Madison/Rivergate areas.
It's crazy Nashville and Memphis used to be talked about in the same tiers 15-20 years ago. Now Nashville is on its way to Atlanta status. Massive corporate relocation magnet and is a big professional sport league magnet. Kind of crazy a metro of only 2 million has NFL, NHL, MLS, and is the #1 pick for MLB expansion next year. Literally the only major sport nashville is missing is NBA, and with how Memphis is declining, I wouldn't be surprised if they moved to Nashville, making Nashville have all 5 major sports.
Nashville's worst areas looks like Memphis' bests.
