seedier
In worse condition
Seedier is the comparative form of seedy, meaning more run-down, shabby, or disreputable.
A neighborhood can look seedier than it did ten years ago; a bar can feel seedier than the one down the street.
The motel got seedier with each passing year.
The word suggests physical deterioration combined with moral dubiousness.
