All I have to say in Camden in London is a hell of a lot cooler than the Camden near me, which looks like this:

I think crack house would be a step up for most of those buildings.

They remind me of "The Wire" for some reason.
So... that's gotta be a selling point I guess.

Here too. It's ridiculous and embarrassing on the world stage. Mostly in the more low-income neighbourhoods which have more government subsidized housing complexes, which are not properly maintained.

But there are some abandoned buildings and areas that are fun to explore and photograph, like the old Don Valley Brick Works quarry, which is not far from where I grew up. They turned it into a park and wetlands sort of thing after the factory was shut down. It has always been one of my favourite places to go.
