I'd be very curious to see the desperate state you are talking about.
For physical infrastructure, there are certainly less well maintained areas and historical policies causing issues, but I'm not aware of any areas that are structurally/physically unsafe.
There are 'rougher' areas, places where theft is more likely but very, very few areas that are genuinely unsafe to walk through. The only ones I'm really aware of are two very small areas in London (basically 2-3 buildings) and certain kinds of traveller camps.
For pretty much everything else, it seems to be on par with other European nations - generally behind the Nordics of course.
