Your polities will force Silicon valley to flee from California in due time my friend, dont worry we will not rub your face in it..

Camden, NJ —Mayor Dana Redd, Democrat
Flint MI — Mayor Dayne Walling, Democrat
Detroit MI — Mayor Dave Bing/Mike Duggan, Democrat(s)
Oakland, CA — Mayor Jean Quan, Democrat
St. Louis, MO — Mayor Francis Slay, Democrat
Cleveland, OH — Mayor Frank Jackson, Democrat
Gary, IN — Mayor Karen Freeman-Wilson, Democrat
Newark NJ — Mayor Corey Booker/Luis Quintana, Democrat(s)
Bridgeport, CT — Mayor Bill Finch, Democrat
Birmingham, AL — Mayor William A. Bell, Democrat

It's also important to point out that 6 out of the 10 most dangerous cities are in states with strict gun control laws.

What states or cities where Republicans run them aren't regarded as dumps to be avoided by most people? For instance, would you take great delight in having to move to Tulsa? The answer is HELL NO!!!

In "due time?" Is this the same "due time" that your civil war is relying on? Because if that is the case, I will die of old age before Silicon Valley dries up. I don't see any of those tech companies moving away any time soon, and with the amount of money in that area, there is no proof to back up that claim.

Also, most of those cities on your list are a part of the Rust Belt, so I am not really shocked.

Please name some of those non-liberal cities that have "thrived" under the benevolent guidance of real-estate speculators and hedge-fundies.

Now that is always a fun game because that list seems to always come up barren and the cons just try and change the topic.

Umm, Birmingham is just fine financially. However the county it sits in is not. Jefferson County (which is controlled by Republicans), filed for the largest municipal bankruptcy in US history up until Detroit.

#FAIL

Thanks for proving the point of the person you were responding to.
