No surprise with regard to New Orleans, which may never recover fully from the hurricane.

I think some cities, like Detroit, are actually going to see much higher population losses once census data is released.

Any word on which party the mayors of those cities are affiliated with?

Look for this list to grow much larger soon. Most large liberal cities were propped up by stimulus money but that is running out soon.

Anybody would be a fool to remain living in a big city for if lawlessness comes they will be dangerous places to be.

6. Pittsburgh ain’t bad lately and has reinvented itself to some extent.

8. South Bend has some very nice spots and very affordable. The RV industry is dead but Northern Indiana has re-invented it self several times. If all the English leave the Amish will be happy to buy the land and start farming.

Super cities are simply not required anymore for civilization. Decentralized transport, the internet, and division of labor have changed the face of America.

Parasitic unions and demoncrats just killed the weak and already dying.

cities? lack of resources?

I was always told by leftists that cities were so superior we should all be forced to live in them.

of course they fail to see irony in that

All these cities seem to be in the east and midwest...

Seems to be a trend back there.

Grand Rapids? Really?

If anything it’s because our school system sucks beyond all that could suck.

Other than that, we are in fairly decent shape, mostly in part to the generous conservative Dutch families spending billions of their wealth on projects for a bunch of ungrateful local leftists that spend most of their time taking cheap shots at them. Also, having a loopy, but mostly powerless, lefty mayor doesn’t help.

All major cities in Connecticut. They’ve been dead for several years. IMO anyway...

But Detroit 1-8-7 says on every episode that Detroit is coming back. Hollywood wouldn’t lie to us, now would they?

If you're looking for a city that is not dying, that is enjoying a resurgence, look no further than Oklahoma City.

Pittsburgh has lost a lot of population over the past decade or so as many of the housing projects have been razed, so its actually not so bad.

However, the city government is still over extended and still controlled by knuckleheads.

Cleveland may be typical in some respects of the other midwest cities, at least, in that many of the people leaving the core city have remained in the region, increasing the population of neighboring counties.

And of course most of those leaving will be the adult wage earners of childbearing age. They're still having kids, they just aren't having them in the central city so much.

This trend has been going on for many years btw, even during the "Boom" times of the 90's.

If you removed the illegal aliens from California, the whole state would have a negative population growth.

You could add NYC to that list. Penn Station smells like a homeless shelter. I can’t tell you how disgusting it is to walk through there in the morning. The streets and subways are filthy. The city is definitely not like it was during “Giuliani time”.
