In several dozen cities nationwide, the population actually declined significantly as residents presumably began to flee the region’s toxic financial atmosphere, or perhaps in some cases, even held off on having kids due to a lack of resources.

No surprise with regard to New Orleans, which may never recover fully from the hurricane.
I think some cities, like Detroit, are actually going to see much higher population losses once census data is released.
Any word on which party the mayors of those cities are affiliated with?
Too much is below sea level. It is crazy to live there.
Look for this list to grow much larger soon. Most large liberal cities were propped up by stimulus money but that is running out soon.
Anybody would be a fool to remain living in a big city for if lawlessness comes they will be dangerous places to be.
Capitalism creates wealth....
Socialism uses that wealth up..
** Note: socialism eventually runs of others peoples MONEY..
6. Pittsburgh ain’t bad lately and has reinvented itself to some extent.
8. South Bend has some very nice spots and very affordable. The RV industry is dead but Northern Indiana has re-invented it self several times. If all the English leave the Amish will be happy to buy the land and start farming.
Parasitic unions and demoncrats just killed the weak and already dying.

Add Opalocka liberty city and Overtown Dade County Fla to that Democrat inspired mess.
I'm in CA....Where in hell is Vallejo? Is it big enough to be a city?
lol...
cities? lack of resources?
I was always told by leftists that cities were so superior we should all be forced to live in them.
of course they fail to see irony in that
All these cities seem to be in the east and midwest...
Seems to be a trend back there.
I wouldn’t give up so soon on New Orleans. There may still be hope.
Grand Rapids? Really?
If anything it’s because our school system sucks beyond all that could suck.
Other than that, we are in fairly decent shape, mostly in part to the generous conservative Dutch families spending billions of their wealth on projects for a bunch of ungrateful local leftists that spend most of their time taking cheap shots at them. Also, having a loopy, but mostly powerless, lefty mayor doesn’t help.
All major cities in Connecticut. They’ve been dead for several years. IMO anyway...
But Detroit 1-8-7 says on every episode that Detroit is coming back. Hollywood wouldn’t lie to us, now would they?
Pittsburgh has lost a lot of population over the past decade or so as many of the housing projects have been razed, so its actually not so bad.
However, the city government is still over extended and still controlled by knuckleheads.
