How are Detroit and Cleveland able to support multiple sports teams, especially MLB teams?
Huge suburban areas.

Suburbs and entropy.
Detroit still has places like Gross Pointe and Ann Arbor near it where there is a lot of money.
There are also still corporations in and around Detroit who sponsor the team, but boxes and have company tickets, etc.
The same applies to Cleveland to a degree as well, as Columbus is nearby and thriving.
No sport would expand to these cities but they keep their teams for now thanks to residual money left in the area and owners with local ties like the Ford family.

I also find it odd they add the state after some cities, but not all. Even though I know what state everyone of those cities are in except for merced, never heard of it, just seems odd.
They have Miami, and then Miami Beach, Fla.
Like wtf? the abbr for Florida isnt even Fla.

Because Detroit has 4.5 million people in the metro area and Cleveland has over 2 million.

Lots of people, so enough of them are able to afford to go.
Plus, all the people that have white flighted themselves to the burbs as their official residence.

Man, I went to Cleveland recently for a work convention and honestly thought it was a decent city. Certainly way overblown on the hate

Shreveport is fine outside of the ghetto
Pretty much any city is fine outside the ghetto. The problem is how all encompassing the ghetto is.
There’s a reason the housing market in BR is so inflated. There’s only so many areas safe from culcha appropriation and if feels like it’s shrinking by the day.

How is Jackson coming in at only #44?
That’s a victory for that city. The chamber of commerce should try and capitalize on that.

My theory is that, in general, people's ability/desire to pay attention to detail has gone completely into the shitter.
Too much frickin' social media and other distractions. Vastly more so than at any other time in modern human history.
The quality of writing/reporting now done by once highly prestigious news organizations is quickly becoming indistinguishable from Joe Schmo's amateur politics blog.

50 worst cities to live
plus
High value homes keeps the trash out. Almost half the population has a college degree. Beautiful beaches. Sounds like a great place to live.
And lastly, because Louisiana only had one city in the worst 50, Shreveport. With the criteria they're using, NOLA and BR should both be on the list

It kind of goes beyond that, too.
There’s a bubble encompassing a multi-Parish area of West Feliciana, East Baton Rouge, Ascension, and Livingston at the least.
EBR’s bubble is good areas and/or suburbs with good schools like Central and Zachary. The other four are directly tied to schools.
To live in EBR, you need to be able to afford a good home and be able to get good schooling, be it a magnet program, University Lab, private schools, etc., because the regular public schools are trash.
To live in these outlying areas, you pretty much pay the same price for a house but get to send your kids to some of the better public schools in the state.

My guess is that the problems of Jackson are broken down into numerous suburbs which diluted the crime rate.

Memphis is definitely a shithole. I travel up there frequently and it's a ghetto all over. Glad I have dashcams on my vehicles, so many times I've had to get on the brakes hard because some POS is riding their Rascal to the gas station and can't figure out how traffic signals work.
