Any city that loses & gains population with the wind is not progressive in my book.
Seems like a very arbitrary thing to judge progressiveness against in the face of so much other cultural progressiveness. Besides, the gains and losses have never really been all that dramatic anyways.

Chicago has lost 1 million people in the past 54 years.
That's almost 100,000 people a year!!!
Yeah...cultural alright. Something is culturally wrong with Chicago. The Culture of Corruption in that city & state.

Chicago's population declined during the period between 2000-2010, yet it had more improvements than all but a handful of cities in the same period: increasing its tax base, level of higher education of its citizens, public transit ridership, tourism, and overall attractiveness, functionality and efficiency of the inner city. Its increases just couldn't offset the exodus in other areas. Its simultaneously corrupt and progressive. Population gains have little do with civic leadership, and more with the market and other factors. We can say Lagos, Nigeria is progressive if that were the case.
Up & coming cities...Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, San Jose, Atlanta, Portland, Denver, San Diego, Minneapolis, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, & Charlotte.
Least Progressive:
Phoenix
Detroit Oakland

So you list Chicago as progressive then a few posts later claim it's not progressive.
You say Oakland isn't progressive initially then say it piggybacks off SF, inferring it is progressive.
