Almost as if there’s something inherently wrong with how they govern.

🤔🤔🤔

I wonder what’s the common denominator in those worst-run cities? Think, man, think. Could it be that those cities are all run by democrats, hum?

Amusing to see San Franciscans get upset about being labeled the 2nd worst-run city in the USA but are perfectly OK with being labeled the most degenerate, hedonistic, homosexual capital of the world. Some things never change.

There is a strong similarity shared among the lowest ranking.

There is another strong similarity shared among the highest ranking.

My husband got a short term gig reworking a public works mess in OKC. I’ve lived in LA, SF, NYC, Portland. OKC is a nicely run city. Not fancy, has problems....but pretty well run. Very nice people.

Any listing that doesn’t have Seattle as at least a top five contender has no credibility. And where are stalwarts of bad management like Chicago, Baltimore and St. Louis?

[ckilmer]

Democrats typically run cities. Are any of the best and worst cities run by republicans?
