Areas of cities that don’t resemble the common images that we think of (modular home, new construction)

Here are two for Rochester, NY that suggest the urban build is more that of a New England city than an interior northeast one.

Such cities in that part of the Northeast can have similar areas of town.

Syracuse's Hanover Square comes to mind: https://www.google.com/maps/@43.0505...2!9m2!1b1!2i37

Many people still think of Detroit as a giant empty burnt out slum. So they don't expect that neighborhoods that were built during the city's heyday still exist and are still gorgeous

Agreed. I have always thought that the PNW cities were pretty much peak homeless habitat.

Other than California, that's about right.

Federal land under or alongside freeways is probably the worst, along with certain vacant frontages in urban districts...I can think of a few in particular.

Belmont Square: Row houses in Los Angeles.


These are the row houses that are completely visible from the street. There are two more rows facing each other behind the one in my link. https://www.google.com/maps/@34.0608...7i13312!8i6656




Here is a photo I got from another site that shows the other two rows:

Here's Dubuque, a cool old industrial city amongst the cornfields of iowa:

New Orleans - the Central Business District with its skyscrapers, also with its older 1920s and 1930s architecture that might resemble some Northeast and Upper Midwest cities. Parts of the Warehouse District also have a Rust Belt vibe, different from popular images of the French Quarter and the traditionally Southern antebellum Garden District.
