Americans are abandoning Chicago, LA and Detroit

Americans are moving out of Chicago, Los Angeles and Detroit.

It’s surprising that Los Angeles has become a city to be abandoned.

Traffic and crime makes LA unlivable

All three cities have high crime rate.

True but LA still has beautiful beach cities.
Livable only if you are rich and live on the beach.
Not sure what Chicago and Detroit offer . Never been to either place

Title doesn’t match the details. For example, for Albuquerque, they’re saying that the growth rate has slowed down. Hardly makes it a city that’s being abandoned.

There are reasons to leave there, but none listed. Like difficulty getting a job and a diminishing water supply.

Did you notice that Oakland is #27 on the list? Up and coming city…

Terri, you must have read it wrong. SF-Oakland-Hayward is the #10 City in the flocking list, it’s not on the abandoning list at all.

I’m not gonna disagree with you, just saying I don’t agree with them:

That’s a different list. Worst cities to live is a different list than cities abandoned the most :joy:

This is what the first link goes to:

I wouldn’t personally call a slower growth rate abandoning a city either, but…

Weird. Maybe they are doing AB testing and accidentally shows the wrong page. This is what I see. They are looking at domestic migration, not population growth

Interesting! Their pictures don’t match their listing. Page through the pictures.

Are you on a computer or a phone? I guess their content might not work on all platforms. I would like a correct rendering instead of fancy but unreliable one

Computer. But I can’t imagine that the photos would be different mobile vs. computer.
