Thanks for this! Just wanted to bring up the 2020 numbers to compare with 2017, had no idea there was a 2020 thread already haha.

Yup! Someone like myself who is in politics and seeing what was happening South of the border was truly scary. The U.S has a lot of work to do to repair four years of torment and horrible policies. Another factor will be Biden's tax increases on businesses/wealthy and how that will affect rankings like this.

Let's not be dramatic. 4 cities fell and 2 cities rose up on this ranking. It's not a collapse.

No kidding. If a city falls, it can easily come back, as well.
