Ranked: The Cities Americans Are Moving To

[hunter]

19. My children moved away to big cities...

... even though they could have easily found good work here in our small, thoroughly Democratic city.

Many people move to big cities because they enjoy living in big cities, not because they are forced to.

My sister lives in the very rural South. She has neighbors who have never traveled further than the nearest WalMart, have never visited a large city, and truly believe big cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, and New York are very dangerous places that everyone is trying to escape from. They are convinced my sister is a refugee from an urban hellhole where innocent white people are likely to get caught up in the crossfire of gang warfare, or worse, because that's what they see on television or hear on the radio.
