Well, if it's anything like Portland, Oregon, the population is soaring with people who either won't have kids (young professionals) or older folks who can't. Couples who want to have children, raise them in a safe, clean environment, and possibly have a parent stay at home, live in the suburbs because the housing is so much cheaper here.

Better schools, better homes, safer neighborhoods.

Thanks.

"Better schools, better homes, safer neighborhoods."

Many families leave the blue city for the above. The families may want a home with a yard and elbow room versus a smaller apartment.

The blue city then loses half of their families with half of the school kids.

The actual population of the blue city may go up. There could be old folks with no kids, young singles or couples with no or few kids, the metro...gay crowd with no or few kids, illegal immigrants ...

Exactly.

The same thing that happened to SF is happening to Seattle. The families got sick of the liberal crap and moved out into the suburbs so their kids would be less exposed to the freak show.
