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.

Apparently the apparatus of welfare for all, and that villages can raise children has destroyed familes and once vibrant cities. The last 8 + years the middle class has shrunk and the # of Billionaires has doubled.

But billionaires are more important than some consumers
I have relatives near Hartford and they won't go there after dark and even in the daytime, don't stay longer than necessary. They mostly complain about Puerto Ricans.

That's how it works in Sweden. But, then again, they're not averse to taxing their poor and middle class at rates high enough to pay for the services they consume.
Meanwhile, Swedish multi-billionaire Ingvar Kamprad (founder of IKEA) pays not one thin dime in taxes to Sweden for over 40 years.

If middle-class is shrinking, than people need to adjust to the new normal by not having excessive amounts of children they can't afford.
Interesting, how if it weren't for big institutional investors that many of these liberal, welfare cities like Hartford would not any access to debt.
I guess the only reason why many of these welfare cities like Hartford have access to debt is because they figure that state will likely bail them out.
Amazing, how when ever I have been in a poor neighborhood of a poor city they people have excessive amounts of children, usually between 3 to 5 kids each.
Looks like that is what happened in Hartford a tax bonanza for welfare families and the good, hard-working people moved to the suburbs.
Seems like for decades, Hartford has had third-world birth-rates because these welfare families sit at home and pro-create more children for more welfare money.
12.2% of the population is under 65 and on disability.
