People have been leaving the cities for the suburbs in droves since World War II. Almost every major northeastern city lost population, some by as much as half, between 1950 and 2000. Those people moved outside the city limits to escape the proverbial "slime grime and crime" as well as the cramped tenement lifestyle.
The suburbs offer something that few in the city can afford: home ownership. A home is one of the most reliable investments people can make. Because the city is not condusive for ordinary poeple to make that investment, they opt to leave for a place where they can.

The problem here, though, is that many of the people who move from the cities into the suburbs bring their asinine leftism with them. Over time, they change the 'burbs into the same cesspools they fled. Then the conservatives get fed up and move even further out. This cycle is repeated again and again. Has anyone else noticed how the suburbs that originally ringed the large cities are themselves debased, as the degeneration circles just get larger and larger? Cities become uninhabitable holes in the doughnut, with the doughnuts going left.
This trend even occurs an a much larger scale. Consider how the once-great states of Oregon and Washington have been polluted and destroyed by the California crazies. And how New Hampshire is now a dump populated by Boston brahmins. Or how South Florida is being defenestrated by nutbags from New York.
What can be done about this travesty? I wonder...
