A more interesting graph would be to show each of these blue cities as related to their fiscal stability, without federal or state subsidies added in.
Under that criteria, I would bet these bastions of liberal blue would in fact look like black holes, consuming the productivity of the surrounding pinkish suburbs and red of the rural areas.

Leftists consider big dense cities to be more “substainable” than the rural areas.

They are that stupid.

Interesting thought. I know a truck driver, who didn't like to take loads into large cities. He said they sucked everything in but not much came out, which made it tough to get a load out. Therefore it wasn't very cost effective for an independent driver to go to the very large cities.
