Really? The median income in CT is over $70K. Some poorer people may be moving to low-income red States where they can afford to buy a trailer with their welfare money. Alabama or Arkansas are more affordable for them.

Looks like someone didn't read the OP:

Looks like another liberal city having issues. I am not surprised who wants to live around tremendous amounts of crime and poor families on welfare with lots of crying babies when they can reside in a very nice suburb filled with decent people.

Will be interesting to see how many of these Democratic cities go into bankruptcy in the next decade from gold-plated pensions and welfare families who have incredible third-world birth rates.

Hartford, CT seems like it is next to the long-line of liberals including Detroit, Stockton (CA) to San Bernadino (CA) to have cash-crunch to the point that bankruptcy is the option.

Then again Hartford is a city with a declining population and would likely be declining even more if it were not for the incredible amount of poor families who have large households to cash in on those generous welfare benefits.

26% of the population children under the age of 18 because it seems like rather than working, the residents sit at home on welfare and have lots of babies they can afford.

33% poverty rate because they supposedly have intentionally cherrypicked the population to be poor families with large household sizes.

Will be interesting in the next decade to see more and more liberal cities have to same issues as Hartford.
It is about far more than just Hartford.

Didn't Detroit, a city ran by lefties, went bankrupt a few years ago and received a bailout?

Political party isn't relevant.
