Generally one says, This ___(city, clothing store, beach) has GONE to the dogs, meaning the quality has gone way down. The expression alludes to the idea that people often give "to the dogs" food they no longer want to eat themselves. But it need not have anything to do with food. A city, bar, annual costume party, can all have "gone to the dogs"

It's going to waste. It means the conditions are going downhill. It is often used to describe a neighborhood that is becoming run-down or crime-infested.

It means that something is becoming unpleasant. You usually hear this used to refer to a part of town or a location that once was upscale and popular.
