That is a real stretch. Most of the cities on that list are scraping the bottom of the barrel. Just look at Baltimore.

I'm not saying these were ever great cities but they've all had the same middle class flight to the suburbs.

What happened to these cities who were once great but now seem pretty much a lost cause?

Because of poverty.

Idk about the others in your list, but NOLA is lightyears better than it was in the mid/late 90's and early 2000's

Must be a cultural thing, no?

i think those groups are actually pretty different
the ghetto shitty/areas are expanding and the downtowns are probably on a downward trend.

Government forced changes and regulations superseding the market and society had the exact opposite effects of the intention of the regulations as is tradition
Of course many , myself included, argue LBJ knew exactly what he was doing and destroyed families and cities km purpose to create a voting block of dependent morons. He achieved that with ruthless efficiency

A/C made living in the sun belt manageable then Dallas, houston, Atlanta, Florida blew up in 60s/70s which only made St. Louis and Memphis more useless
I also refuse to believe St. Louis and Memphis were ever all that great.

You can take most cities and compare them to 40 years ago and most would look less appealing unless you are young and single. I'm talking about the city proper, not some suburb 20 miles away.

They became vote farms. Them dems know agri “culta”.

Not touching this one. C’mon OP. It’s not hard to figure out.

I’m surprised this thread has made two pages.
