Chicago needs to be on that list. It is an overpriced, highly taxed, freezing hell. Unfortunately, it is still large and influential enough that every now and then a poor soul gets relocated there for work. It's shrinking, but not fast enough.

I picked Detroit, but Buffalo and Cleveland are viable contenders. Baltimore and St. Louis can still be saved (I think).

Los Angeles doesn't have half the problems those great lakes cities have, but I think it would be the most likely contender to be evacuated in real life due to being located close to a fault line. If an earthquake similar to what hit Japan happened next to LA, I bet that city would lose a good chunk of its population.

I can't imagine any city being totally abandoned unless it was destroyed by war or natural disaster.
