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?

    Miami has its share of violent crime, doesn’t it?

      Absolutely, thats something you get with population centers, but I think they’re farther right politically than most major US citites.

        So next time someone trots out the “life in blue cities is hell…” sounds like I can just bring up Miami

          I don’t know that Miami is a “red city,” it’s just not completely blue because of the Cuban population.
