well, both Detroit and Cleveland are among many cities where the middle class moved to the suburbs long ago, and the people left behind were disporportionaltly poor.

But I thought union jobs were so good...

A city like Detroit should be a model city test case for liberal values and liberal solutions to society's problems. It's puzzling why so many cities with liberal mayors and liberal city councils are such basket cases.

What did Jim Quinn say? Something to the effect of: "The amount of wealth in a city is in inverse proportion to the number of Democrats running it."

Really? Nothing in CA would beat it? Or MA or NJ for that matter?

Yep, got that right.
Tried to open a business in Cleveland a few years ago, what a joke. You should see all the hoops that you got to agree to just to have a store front. God forbid you piss off one of the city fathers, they'll just shut you down in a heartbeat.

As my screen name implies, I am not from Michigan or Ohio...but I just want to comment on the headline. Is that not the most awkward syntax? Why didn't some editor retitle to 'Cleveland Poorest US City; Detroit, Second'
Just my two cents...

That was from a Michigan site, I would assume that's why.

Cleveland, like Detroit, is run by 'Rats.
The 'Rats are always insisting they care about the poor.
Apparently, they care so much that they want to be sure the poor have plenty of company - by creating more poor.
But, of course, its all Bush's fault.

Lot of prime property available... Not sure about the "prime" part, unless you mean "location" only...

I left the Cleveland area during the Dennis the Menace (Boy Mayor) era.
