Shall we look at the leadership party affiliation in the 10 richest cities in the US?
10: Napa California - GOP
9: Boulder Colorado - Democrat
8: Boston, Mass - Democrat
7: Thousand Oaks California - Democrat
6: NYC NY - GOP (though many in the GOP think he should be a Democrat)
5: Trenton New Jersey - Democrat
4: San Francisco California - Do you even need to ask?
3: Washington DC - Democrat
2: San Jose California - Democrat
1: Stamford, Conn - GOP (though the mayor is pretty fed up with the fringe groups controlling the GOP so he's considering leaving the party).

Good post but in all fairness, I think Columbus has a bit of an edge being the seat of state government and OSU.
Finger pointing's a lot easier when you're only pointing at one thing.
I'm just stating a fact. Detroit's decline is more complicated than that. It has been a long, slow decline. What I'm saying is that one should do the research first.

Columbus might have more of an edge, but there is one thing to look at. Columbus might have done better because its economic wasn't as heavy in steel and automobiles as Cleveland's.
