What Do Most of the ‘Fastest Dying Cities’ Have in Common?

Posted by Doug Powers On August - 7 - 2008

Forbes Magazine recently put together a list of the ten fastest dying U.S. cities.

Right here is a list of the 25 most liberal cities, and the 25 most conservative cities.

Notice anything? Four of the ten “fastest dying cities” are on the “most liberal” list. None are on the “most conservative” list.

Here’s more: 80% of the “fastest dying cities” have Democrat mayors (one of which is spending tonight in jail).

The only exceptions are Youngstown, Ohio, which has an Independent mayor, and Charleston, West Virginia, which has a Republican mayor.

I’m sure that’s all just a coincidence though…

If we were to get into fiscal responsibility — or lack thereof — I’m sure we’d notice a similar pattern.
