This is a house on the southside of Syracuse with broken windows, boarded up windows, overgrown shrubbery, badly peeling paint, sagging balcony and general disrepair. It has a sign on it that says THIS HOUSE IS NOT ABANDONED people live here, do not break in and steal our stuff. I didn't really want to get close enough to take a photo of the sign though.
The house across the street is very well kept and extremely suburban looking, with siding and professional looking landscaping.
Syracuse is an odd place in that the run down areas are very close to the nice well kept areas, some times across the street!
It's very different than somewhere like California, where there is a much more gradual transition between neighborhood quality.

I agree, the transitions here are quick and noticeable. The unfortunate thing is that you can tell all of these houses were beautiful at one point.
