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

You haven't seen The Simpsons?

of course I have only visited.

What episode were you in?

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.

The bottom part ( 35 to 50 ) includes these ( in least worst order ) Fort Smith Arkansas , Gainesville , Atlanta , Tacoma , Jackson Miss , Syracuse NY , Miami Fla , North Charelston SC , South Bend , New Haven Ct , Tallahassee , Kalamazoo, Knoxville , Toledo .Looks accurate

[oyarde]

Then , ( in least worst order ) some of these , Buffalo , Canton , Fresno , Tuscon , Trenton , Dayton , Springfield Mass , Merced , Miami Beach , Stockton , Daytona Beach , Charleston WV and Shreveport rounds out 34 to 21 ......

[oyarde]

Then , Compton , Little Rock , Gary , Pueblo , Rockford Ill , Youngstown , San Bernardino , the rest of the state of california , Homestead Fla and Hartford Ct.

[oyarde]

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

[Anti Globalist]

Surprised Chicago didn't make the top 10.

[oyarde]

Surprised Chicago didn't make the top 10.

It is top ten worthy with Philly , Baltimore , Cleveland , DC .

[kpitcher]

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

Look again.

3 - St. Louis MO

2 - Flint MI

1 - Detroit MI

[pcosmar]

Milwaukee WI: Democrat Mayors since 1960
Baltimore MD: Democrat Mayors since 1967
Springfield MO:
Albany GA:
Wilmington DE: Democrat Mayors since 1973
Cleveland OH: Democrat Mayors since 1990
Memphis TN:
St. Louis MO:
Flint MI: Democrat Mayors since 1991
Detroit MI: Democrat Mayors since 1962

There is a reason these places end up $#@!holes . Tax & spend welfare dems are a part of that equation.

Looks roughly half and half- six in blue states, four in red states.

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.

[Krugminator2]

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.

Memphis TN: Democrat Mayors since 1991
St. Louis MO: Democrat Mayors since 1949

[FvS]

10 - Milwaukee WI - 40% Black

9 - Baltimore MD - 63% Black

7 - Albany GA -70% Black

6 - Wilmington DE - 58% Black

5 - Cleveland OH - 53% Black

4 - Memphis TN - 63% Black

3 - St. Louis MO - 47% Black

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.

Zippy is usually so good at bringing facts to the forums, I wonder if he could help fill this list in.
