An influx of white people into the urban areas would threaten those politicians in St. Louis, so they often fight to keep things the way they are.
Oh I agree 100% which is why it's laughable that these people keep putting the same politicians in power.
Look at inner cities in the US. Majority are black (especially midwest, south, northeast). Look at the suburbs. The majority are white.
Which communities have fared better over the last 50-60 years? I keep seeing leftists saying how so many poor white Trump voters voted against their own self interests (which is sometimes true).
However these inner city minorities have done it for literally 2-3 generations and they still haven't gotten the message. It's safe to say they won't change anytime soon either.

Americans aren't leaving big cities entirely. They're just relocating to certain big cities. That's why the top 10 metros are growing a lot faster than the bottom 10 metros are declining.

No, they most certainly got the message. Vote for the Democrat, keep your entitlements.

For the life of me I can't figure out why someone would want to live all on top of someone else.

Check Atlanta. It's going the opposite way.
Yep, Fulton County added over 15,000 people last year and the ten county metro added over 69,000.
Metro Atlanta is projected to grow by 2.5 million people by 2040.

It's pretty disgusting. Any large city at rush hour certainly defines a rat race.

But many cities are on a strong growth trajectory. The cities losing population are cities that have been losing it for decades (Detroit, Baltimore, even Chicago peaked a long time ago).
But many suburban rings around cities are on a strong growth trajectory.
You really think most of the booming in DFW is ACTUALLY in Dallas?

We have a toddler so we don't live in the city center anymore, but when we live in midtown Atlanta, we loved it. We could walk to bars, shopping, take a ten minute train ride to Falcons, Hawks and Braves games. We had anything that we could want, or need, within a few minutes of us. We still have everything that we need, or want, out here in the suburbs. You just have to drive to get to it.
Country living would make me go insane. Different strokes for different folks.

Intown Atlanta is growing quickly as well. There are cranes all over downtown and midtown putting up dozens of new luxury mid and high rise apartment complexes where the average cost of a one bedroom is $1,500+ per month.

Most people leaving are doing so for more affordable, safer housing, better public services, lower taxes, etc. Our urban areas are often not as competitive as they should be.
The best urban real estate is occupied by subsidized ghetto. When good people move away to a suburb, soon a developer and the chamber of commerce decide businesses need their cheap labor pool and the apartments go up. And the cycle repeats until decent people are commuting 50 miles to work.

People leaving big cities is bad news for dems, imo, because cities are where people have the greatest exposure to the democratic party, and it is where recruitment happens.
I see it another way. They are already dem strongholds and these few leaving will have no effect on the local population. Now they will spread their ideals and their votes to other right leaning areas.

It's not "nowhere"
Cities feed conspicuous consumerism. Nature feeds the soul.

I badly want to live in Alaska one day.
Maybe in 10 years after loans are gone and dad has passed

Guarantee you that the mayors of most of those cities aren't Republicans.
I was right. The only two Republican mayors are Miami and Fort Worth.

You're listing counties. Not cities.
