Boston and San Francisco are hardly dead or dying cities. If liberal policies alone could kill these cities then they would have been dead long ago.
Neither of the these cities have ever been dominated by one industry which could be a reason.
Chicago and New York are far from dying.
I can’t speak for other cities but Boston liberals are usually smart enough not to place liberal burdens on the local industry. As they say politicians can be bought for a price.

Really, is that why so many people who work in Boston are fleeing to New Hampshire? Is that why firms are leaving Silicon Valley and heading to places like Boulder? You think if San Fran has a major earth quake it will rise from teh ashes like it previously did or will businesses head for friendly pastures?
Boston and San Fran are not going anywhere but it is not because of liberal leadership. It is because of geography and history.
Boston has lost about a third of it’s population. San Fran the same. They are depopulating.
I’m not sure of the demographics but I believe Boston anyways, is getting older. In short young people are not moving in and having young children.
Boston might not be dying, but it’s fading.
Boston is going to take a hit as education diversifies.
