Really just depends. Even just leaving the buildings vacant for a decade plus will be enough to do them in, especially if looters come in looking for raw materials.

St. Louis currently has that problem with a developer named Paul McKee who conned the city by acquiring a lot of properties in north St. Louis claiming he was going to redevelop them. The city gave him a lot of financial incentives for the purpose as well, but in the end he let them rot for a similar period of time. Many are lost causes now.

We've already heard from Cookeville, Tenn, Frederick, Md. and Sammamish, Washington, to name a few others in the "who cares" category, so please don't be shy. They're all good!

I am interested in people who truly post "nice, average, rough" but who don't cherry-pick, and try to actually choose representative areas. And especially those who follow the OPs guidelines of 3 only, not multiple neighborhoods. Just pick 3 and move on, please. No explanations are necessary.

Don't hesitate to post your city! More people are interested than you'd guess - including myself!

Nashville-Davidson County two ways. The Urban Service District & the General Services District

Urban (USD):

Nice: The Gulch
Average: Sylvan Heights
Rough: Napier

Suburban/rural (GSD):

Nice: Brandywine
Average: Bellevue
Rough: Rayon City

I excluded satellite cities, so Belle Meade & Forest Hills, where the ritziest neighborhoods in Davidson County are were not included.

Belle Meade

Forest Hills
