Blue Cities are in a doom loop they won’t come out of until the cities turn into a city like in the Movie Escape from NY and maybe not even then.

Productive Citizens and Businesses move out replaced by poor Americans and illegal aliens who don’t work and pay very little in taxes, the demand for city services goes up but the revenue to pay for everything goes down which creates an impossible situation.

Look at the office vacancy rates in Major Blue cities, the buildings are empty, eventually the buildings will be converted into low-cost housing further eroding the tax base. Rinse and repeat this cycle until the cities are gone.

--- "Blue Cities are in a doom loop...."

Hadn't read the phrase before, but it certainly well captures the doubling and tripling down on bad policies has solely on ideology. Based on the history of Detroit and Kwame Kilpatrick or DC with Marion Barry, this surely does not bode well for the City of Chicago.

Excellent and succinct analysis, unfortunately true as well.

I am betting their pensions are largely unfunded and they don’t care as Uncle Whitey will be paying from the US gov’t.

Or else.

This is all about votes and destroying America.
