Notice that most of the others involve cities that don't actually produce anything? They're either suburbs, vacation resorts or towns whose main industry is government -- the military, in the cases of Colorado Springs and San Diego.
Like red states, it appears red cities can't survive without government welfare.  |
They are suburbs, few are vacation resorts. But you could say the same of SFO & NO, tourism is their main industry. San Diego has a lot of business outside of the military as does SLC, Mesa, Boise and others. There are a few nice cities on the liberal list, but far dominated by dismal ones like Gary, Flint & Detroit!
