Downtown and a few select neighborhoods have already been at the bottom and are on their way to something better. The majority of the city is still going downhill, just not as fast as it was a few years ago.

One issue that probably wont be as big of a deal in the immediate future is scrapping. The price of scrap metals has fallen off a cliff in the last year. Even for those scumbags that were stealing it, there's probably still not enough money in it to bother with steel and aluminum. Copper still has some value so that may continue, but the draw for brazen thefts of the past few years is gone.
