It’s become somewhat of a meme now when there is a story on crime, or other bad things happening in a city, people pipe up and say “That’s how it is in blue cities!” “This could only happen in a Democrat city!” However, I noticed they never say “… and that’s why only want to live in X” or “… that would never happen in Y”.
If living in “blue cities” are such a nightmare, where are all these Utopian “red cities” that people are apparently in favor of?
Right here. Scroll down for the list of cities most people are moving to. They’re all red. (Or, charitably, blueish spots surrounded by red.)
People must be moving there for some kind of reason. There’s jobs. They’re safe. They have stuff to do. Some kind of reason.
I clicked through and had to go to a second linked article(!) for the top 5. The #1 is “Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, Texas”, which is pretty much a blue city now.
This doesn’t really support your claim that “they are all red”. Also, we call a “blueish spot surrounded by red” a blue city.
From what I am learning about in this thread is there isn’t really the idea of a “red city”, so when people talk shit about “blue cities” they are just talking about city life in general. There does not appear to be any very large cities filled with Republicans.
I guess. I still think there’s a difference between DFW and, say, the Twin Cities. You won’t catch me living in Texas.
