Democrats also run San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles, New York...some of the most successful cities in the country, or at least prosperous.
Maybe it's not the party that makes the cities, maybe it's opportunity.
That's easy to explain
The cities get rich and prosperous under conservative governments and with the money of conservative workers, attract a shitload of riffraff, who always vote democrat
Boom. Why don't you you mention the HUGE majority of shitholes being governed by liberals too?
Why don't you mention the worst places, like Detroit, being under democrat rule for decades?
San Francisco is spending 50k on each homeless person and now they're going to tax the companies even more.
Of course, the city is covered in feces, violence increasing exponentially, but hey, keep the poverty machine running, after all, 50k are spent on people who are SUPPOSEDLY helping the homeless, not the homeless person itself.
