Hmmm... let me take a wild stab in the dark about what is common among these cities...
Democrats?
The name Democrat conjures up FDR's democrats...I don't think today's Dems bear any resemblance to that DNP....They are instead Progressives bordering on communism is more like it. Most of the DNP identify as (Democratic Socialist). Progressives have been here a long time nibbling away at the US Constitution, those laws and those rights. imho.
Democrats embolden crazy people and criminals. Most cities have a similar distribution of people who will take advantage if they can get away with it...
But in Republican run cities we work at letting those people know we’re not gonna put up with that crap...
Then they move back into their parent’s basement - or they get a low level job and start rejoining their culture. In liberal cities they celebrate the insanity... in Republican cities we tell them to stop the crap.
