Taking cities who are not performing is very misleading.... What you need to look at is metro areas, Detroit is a pig, but the Detroit Metro area in a lot of ways is on par with Atlanta, the two have comparable unemployment rates. Detroit is a point higher at this point.
Provokes is great to do business in if you are mormon. Raleigh is a conservative Democrat city, Ft Collins votes Democrat, Des Moines voted for Obama, Denver is a democrat city, Ogden is another Mormon city, and Lincoln, Dallas, Austin, and Nashville are also Democrat cities.
So thank you for proving my point with the best cities to do business and work in are all Democrat or Mormon controlled.
All nicely embedded in.....what states....you know, RED states....

Yea paying the majority of the taxes for the state supporting the "red" portions public services, things like fire, police, and schools. Things most republicans think are blue state luxuries.
Of course you would. Typical liberal mentality. Lets live high on the hog, run up debts with other people's money, and then can't pay it back? Who cares, we will just file bankruptcy and start all over again. No need to cut services or gosh forbid make people get a job, there is plenty of money now. What else can I spend on me?
Liberalism is truly an insane disease. No responsibility for anything. ALWAYS someone else's fault.
Seriously?
The KING of bankruptcy is Donald Trump. As I recall, not so liberal.
I find this amusing that the OP conveniently forgets that it was a Republican POTUS that bankrupted this country. How does TWO unpaid for wars grab ya for starters? It was Reaganomics, more affectionately and aptly referred to as voodoo, that is still haunting us.
The nation has always fared better under Democratic Presidents and that is a fact.
Quote:
The deficit is now only 4% of the GDP, down from over 10% at the end of Bush’s administration – and projections are for it to be only 2% by 2015 (before Obama leaves office.) America’s “debt problem” seems largely solved, and almost all due to growth rather than austerity.
So, OP...seems as if whatever city you are touting, they are recovering and thriving due to the guy in the White House despite the GOP controlled Congress and their self-serving determination to see him fail.
And Detroit wasn't? Didn't the government take over their largest industries? Nice try.
You really shouldn't start threads when you have no idea what you are talking about.
Just some friendly advice.
