Good luck to Detroit on securing more muni bonds after that "restructuring".

Detroit is not allowed to run deficits like our white-black leader in DC can.

Is that why the population continues to grow in the southern states, while state populations in the north, and midwest continue to remain stagnant? Yep, those so called red states really suck!

For many, it boils down to one word: CLIMATE!

Funny that blue state apologists hate on North Dakota's ultra-law UE rate because it's cold, yet Vermont and upstate NY are nearly as frigid.

Lets see would I rather be in Dallas, Atlanta, Charlotte or Detroit, Baltimore, Flint, maybe Oakland or Cleveland ????

Hummm............, tough call.

Me being from northeast Ohio, other than Cleveland I'd pick Dallas or Charlotte. Atlanta, Baltimore, Detroit, Oakland, or Flint? Nope. Actually job growth is up in Ohio.

North Dakota has excellent climate?

Incidentally, most of the yanks who move here to NC hate the bugs and stagnant air during the summer. They only came here because of the lower cost of living, though I enjoy hearing them b**ch about how there's essentially no slow plows during the winter. Fortunately, the yanks who couldn't secure work will exhaust their savings quicker now that we shortened UE benefits, and consequently high tail it back up I-95. Win-win.

To be fair, I wouldn't live in any of those locations either. I used to say if I had to leave northeast Ohio and relocate to another cold weather city, I'd pick Chicago, or New York. Now...no way in Hell!!!! So if I'm staying in a cold weather place, I'll stay where I'm at. Burdell alluded to climate as a big reason why people move south. Yes that does factor in, and believe me I've lived in the Cleveland area my whole life and I hate the damn cold! In fact I'm loving this 90 degree weather right now, as it beats the alternative. Still, if weather were the determining factor as to where I ended up, I would have moved to Florida years ago when I was young. But, it's not. And...well.... home is home. Plus summers are beautiful here.

Uh, NY summers are often just as hot/humid as NC, just need to dump a Gov who gets his cabinet raises while telling everyone else they need to tighten their belts, typical RW "do as I say, not as I do"

Who is "we"? If the residents and taxpayers to these cities want to devise and implement a plan to get themselves out of trouble, they should have at it. If by "we" you mean every taxpayer in the US, then no thanks.
