My god, you're acting like a boorish ass here, destroycreate! Sure, there are plenty of decayed and blighted parts of Philly, just as there are in any Eastern city of any size. Same in Baltimore, same in Boston, same in D.C., same in smaller places like Camden, Trenton, Newark, Providence, New Haven, and pretty much every other freaking city up and down the East Coast. That being said, don't act like there aren't huge decaying parts of cities along the West Coast, either. Here's a few examples for you, from south to north through California:
Chula Vista
Oceanside
Santa Ana
San Bernardino
Riverside
Inglewood
Compton
Huge swaths of East/South Los Angeles
Oxnard
Santa Maria
Salinas
Hayward
San Leandro
Oakland
East Palo Alto
Need I mention more?

edit: I couldn't agree more, ChiTownCity. Of course many parts of Philly need renovating/infrastructure improvements/people's attitude improvements. I'd say a little gentrification might be in order, though...
