Where Democrats rule, cities crumble.  The worst four cities are all run by Democrats, and it’s been this way by decades.

All of the worst-run cities are run by Democrats with the exception of Gulfport, Mississippi.

CBS has the story:

Washington D.C. may be the nation’s capitol, but a new survey is also calling it the “worst-run” city in America.

Personal finance website WalletHub has released its rankings for the worst big cities in the country and found that several high-profile places are at the bottom of the list when it comes to city management and operating efficiency.

The article goes on to list the cities that bear this dubious honor:

  • Washington D.C.
  • Detroit, Mich.
  • New York City, N.Y.
  • San Francisco, Calif.
  • Gulfport, Miss.
  • Oakland, Calif.
  • Chattanooga, Tenn.
  • Flint, Mich.
  • Cleveland, Ohio
  • Hartford, Conn.

I probably don’t have to tell you this, but I will just for the sake of clarity.  The District of Columbia earned the sash which reads, “Worst City when It Comes to Budget per Capita.”  Or, after scoring near the bottom of a 150 city list, they could arguably wear one that demonstrates their failure in public education and health.

Detroit came in last for financial stability and overall economy.

St. Louis had the worst score for safety.

Huntington Beach, Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Bakersfield, and Riverside have the worst air pollution.

CBS reports that “One thing every big city has in common are major roadways, traffic, and a reputation for pollution. In those fields, California cities were found to be the worst in the country. In road quality, Los Angeles, Santa Ana, Fremont, Oakland, and San Francisco all tied for the worst streets in the U.S.”

Well, isn’t that interesting?

Nine out of ten of the nation’s “Worst-Run” Cities are run, for a very long time, by Democrats.  Let that sink in.  Anyone sense a pattern?
