Post a city and then the next poster will have to say if that city has a bright future or bleak future

I will start: Will the future of St. Louis, Missouri be bright or bleak?

I would say bright but it won't blind you.

Hopefully there will be some type of metro consolidated growth plan in place. As of now, I would say it will do okay.

What about New Orleans?

Given it's proximity to the gulf and all the weather craziness that ensues year after year I think bleak. Probably increased flooding/hurricanes.

Indianapolis, IN?

I would say bleak because rising inequality, climate change and LA state government.

*i skipper Indianapolis because we posted at the same time, but bright. Very bright from growth, great bones of a city and its taking some Chicago industry away

What about Hartford, Connecticut?

Bleak. I think it’s a tough for Hartford to retain talent because Cters see Boston or New York as the big city where you go to live in urban environment and advance your career.

Birmingham, Alabama

Bright. Alabama is quite a bit behind Georgia and Tennessee in terms of ground development, but it's a cool town with a lot of upside.

Chicago.

Probably bright if Illinois is able to fix its budget anytime soon. Maybe even before that, depending on how unaffordable other big cities become. The city is now gaining population in all races except Black, still attracting large companies, and still throwing up a lot of new skyscrapers.

Redding, CA

Possibly bright since it is a nice small city far from any California metro areas, but it is not growing as rapidly as in the past few census counts
New York City

Brighter than almost any city. Most big growing cities will stay bright as the sun.

Providence RI?
