Grimm are attracted to negative emotions, and specifically go out of their way to destroy manmade things. They wouldn't care how long it takes to destroy the city, they'd just keep attacking it until it's gone. That city would have to be a fortress under constant fire or destroyed because of the sheer amount of Grimm so much negativity would attract.

Either it's just a very small part of a fortified city, or that city cannot exist in Remnant. Yeah,I may need to temper that a bit. But if the city isn't constantly under troubles, it is just an island with a good tower defense system ruled by a noble family wih an active criminal underground. And even if this is a hiding spot for criminals, peoples knew hat too much negativity will attract the grimm and they keep their heads low, and the grimms are one of the many pressure points the nobles uses to calm down the social troubles.

And yes, the undergound isn't he whole part of the city. There are different levels actually : the noble palace, the uptown, the city itself, the large mining district and the Badlands (basically a large shantytown with some poor buildings) where most of the action and violence takes place.

And about the "Ray losing his arm" part, his father was a renowned scientist who wanted to make a few tests on his son and his (at the time) unstable semblance, which cost Ray an arm. Even if his dad buildt him a new one with a semblance stabilizer, he and his moter left (for obvious reasons).

Anyway, sorry for the mess that are my characters, I hope I clarified a few points. Anything else ?
