To be completely honest, the Dunmer are at fault for the way they live in Windhelm. They just expect to be given what is needed due to being refugees, when all of Skyrim is dealing with a civil war. Solstheim was given to them generously by the High King of Skyrim, and still they do not make the most of that gift. Niranye states, who by the way is a High elf in windhelm no less, that "The dark elves are too proud and naive to understand the way things truly are, and so they continue to dwell in that slum." Faryl Atheron, the only Dunmer who seems to have any sense, even says "Farm work is hard work. It's good to relax when I can, but I still have to listen to my brothers harping about 'injustices." It seems to me that the Dunmer of Windhelm feel ridiculously entitled to a city that is crumbling due to how old it is. The city itself isnt in the best shape, the gray quarter just happens to be in the worst shape. They are too lazy to do the hard work required of them to get out of the slum like Niranye did with her own life. They have done nothing at all to earn the respect and trust of the Nords that have given them refuge, and continue to freeload and complain.
