abstiegsgefährdet
English translation:
in danger of decline
German term
abstiegsgefährdet
"Gemessen an unseren Standards gleicht New York, auch da, wo die Wohnungen teuer und die Bewohner jung und ehrgeizig sind, immer noch einer abstiegsgefährdeten Metropole mit problematischer Infrastruktur. Die Schlaglöcher in den Hauptverkehrsadern sind teilweise so groß und tief, dass man als Fahrradfahrer fürchtet, darin zu verschwinden, Lebensmittelgeschäfte operieren unter hygienisch verheerenden Bedingungen, und die Hälfte der New Yorker Wohnhäuser würde in Deutschland vermutlich von der Bauaufsicht geschlossen."
