WalletHub compared the operating efficiency of 150 of the largest U.S. cities to determine which among them are managed best, based on a “Quality of Services” score made up of 38 metrics grouped into 6 service categories:

  1. Financial stability
  2. Education
  3. Health
  4. Safety
  5. Economy
  6. Infrastructure and Pollution

Each city’s “Quality of Services” score is then measured against the city’s per-capita budget. (To find out more about WalletHub’s methodology, go here.)

No surprise to us, Los Angeles, CA (#134), Chicago, IL (#141), Oakland, CA (#144), Detroit, MI (#145), New York, NY (#148), San Francisco, CA (#149), and Washington, DC (#15o) are ranked among the worst — all governed by Democrats.

In fact, 18 of the 20 worst managed cities have Democrat mayors. The two exceptions are #146 Gulfport, TN (Republican mayor Billy Hewes) and #147 Chattanooga, TN (Independent mayor Tim Kelly).

But that fact won’t deter the voters of those cities to reelect Democrats, which is a sure indicator of their mental illness.

Here’s the list of the 150 cities, ranked from best (#1) to worst (#150):

Count up to the next 15 worst-run cities above Denver—and I think I see 11 of those 15 that are also long-time Demorat-run. So, this runs deep in our country as it has been for decades, and really, just the “expectation” now: you vote Demorat in those blighted cities & you vote for continued blight, violence, poverty, failing schools, and now–for defunding the police and unpunished-runaway-crime. Who Knew? Shoulder shrug.

Thank you Dr.E for this most interesting post. I am not surprised that the worst cities are run by Democrats, especially since we are experiencing such a travesty with Biden.
