Didn't think Springfield was that bad... of course I have only visited. St. Louis has obvious suckage.

Yeah, I like springfield. Their little zoo is pretty great, especially the hand fed giraffes and reptile house. And their airport is a total breeze to fly in and out of.

Overall , a pretty good list to avoid unless for some reason you were raised there and comfortable . Not places to move to certainly .

Flint, MI didn't make the list? That's surprising, you still can't drink the water in places.

There is a reason these places end up shitholes . Tax & spend welfare dems are a part of that equation.

I think, city government has more to do with city condition and culture than state government does, except in the case of state and national capitals, in which case the state or nation is responsible for the theft and redistribution.

Are you sure about that? Why don't you do some research and bring back some facts instead of your speculation.

What's funny is I opened this thread up and if Flint and Detroit weren't 1 and 2 in that order, I was going to say the entire list should be discarded. Even though Flint is worse than Detroit, at least they have the top two right.

Flint really is the worst place on the planet.

DEMOCRAT LEADERSHIP!

Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn’t elected
a Republican mayor since 1961;

Buffalo, NY (2nd) hasn’t elected one since 1954;

Cincinnati, OH (3rd)… since 1984;

Cleveland, OH (4th)… since 1989;

Miami, FL (5th) has never had a Republican Mayor; (was founded in 1809)

St. Louis, MO (6th)…. since 1949;

El Paso, TX (7th) has never had a Republican Mayor; (was founded in 1850)

Milwaukee, WI (8th)… since 1908;

Philadelphia, PA (9th)… since 1952;

Newark, NJ (10th)… since 1907. (that's more than 100 years ago).

I guess this also demonstrates the political ignorance of the populace of the cities?

It would interesting to see a comparison of cities for each state. For example, Florida cities with longest Democrat and Republican mayors. Then contrast that with a measure of prosperity. perhaps per capita income, property values, or municipal GDP, unemployment rate, crime rate.

Albany, GA has been a democrat stronghold in SW Georgia forever. It's one of the reasons we can't get rid of Sanford Bishop who has been in Congress since 1993. Lots of conservatives in Southwest Georgia but they get drowned out by people in these decaying urban areas of the state who just sit around having babies and collecting welfare checks. And that city is a s**thole. The interstate just passed it on by.

Well, if you're talking about the Missouri river - and depending on just how close you mean by "next to" - that doesn't really narrow it down much ...
