If these cities are all "failures" why are so many still growing?
Atlanta, Austin, Seattle, SF, LA, NYC, Chicago, Columbus, Minneapolis...none of these cities are losing population.
Corp Greed took down the rust belt...outsourcing good paying union jobs killed cities like Flint, Youngstown, Gary and the like. Not liberal policies...policies that allowed manufacturing to go to cheaper labor areas like Mexico and China.
".none of these cities are losing population." And how many are due to the poor having babies by unwed mothers?
American cities with populations over a million people are losing population, with New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago having the largest percent declines.
Here’s an interesting tidbit... I’m in the supply chain business and our company handles online orders for a lot of huge companies. The past 2 weeks we have gotten a flood of calls from companies located in those cities you listed, especially from San Fran, NYC and Seattle. Every story is the same. They looking to relocate their business, shut down their warehouses and move to a third party. They all complained about the high cost in taxes, rent and just plain done with being in that area. They are determined to move elsewhere.
Its going to be a shock in 6 months to a year for those areas. Taking with the 100s if not 1000s of jobs. Only ones to blame are the Democrat leaders, their stupid policies and the dimwits that support them!
I've asked several times where are these shining examples of Republican run cities (not podunks) where there is a quality of life, good schools and none of the problems they so often refer to. After reading all the responses you got once again there appears to none because all the respondents can do nothing but slam most urban centers in the country.
Fort Worth.
Liberals jumping on to call it a "po dunk" town in 3...2...1...

Let's take a peek, shall we?
NYC : Population increase of 2.7 percent
LA: 5.89% since the last census, and annual increase also not declining
But your real argument was that cities with populations over a million people are losing population, and that is a complete nonsense.
If cities are losing population, then where are all the people going? Leaving the country? Moving to the mountains?
Think before you post. People need jobs, and the jobs are in the cities, so people live in cities even if they preferred the mountains.

How are the Republican mayors preventing the poor from having babies by unwed mothers in rural Mississippi? Do they roam around looking for people having sex, and then pull them apart?
Just curious.

You support Trump who s a draft dodger so I do not buy your patriotism.
Trump has rolled backed all clean air acts so you are obviously fine with pollution. I guess as long as it is not in your back yard. Which again makes you unpatriotic.
Could go on but whyL
"You support Trump who s a draft dodger", only in your dreams. Getting LEGAL deferments is NOT draft dodging. What about biden?
Now if you really want to talk about a draft dodging president, we can talk about bill clintom
"Trump has rolled backed all clean air acts so you are obviously fine with pollution."
You have to be the MOST IL-iinformed poster I have ever read on this forum.
Detroit is a "failure" because it was a one industry (CARS) that Corporate America moved Auto jobs overseas.
Wrong. Detroit was always a manufacturing hub, long before the auto industry. Ship building, Casting, Machining, lumber, tobacco, iron ovens, all major industries. I'll agree though, Corporate America decided these jobs were better done offshore, leaving millions unemployed.

Looking at the stats, it looks like a crime infested hell-hole. How do you defend that? Who to blame? There's gotta be someone to blame.
Fort Worth Crime Rates
With 100 being the safest on the crime index, Fort Worth ranks as an 11. That makes Fort Worth safer than only 11% of the cities in the nation. The crime rate per 1,000 residents is 5.26 for violent crimes, and 33.17 for property crimes, making the crime rate 38.42 per 1,000 residents total.
. the area has some of the highest violent crime rates in the country.

Congrats that's the first response I have ever gotten, reasonable size, very spread out but it looks like the schools in the city proper are reviewed poorly (great schools) but are strong in the northern areas which I guess are the affluent areas. Looking at Mayoral history seems to be a mix between the 2 parties over the years.
Because the democrats and unions tried to squeeze the auto industry.
