City Run by Democrats for 60 Straight Years Ranked Worst Place To Raise Family Detroit, which Democratic mayors have governed exclusively for more than 60 straight years, was ranked this week by personal finance website WalletHub as the worst city in the United States to raise a family. WalletHub used five metrics to rank 182 U.S. cities as the best places to raise children: family fun, health and safety, education and child care, affordability, and socioeconomics. Detroit ranked dead last in an aggregation of those metrics. Detroit's poor ranking comes after decades of single-party Democratic rule, during which time the city saw its living standards, safety, and economic prowess decline precipitously. Since 1962, every mayor of the city has been a Democrat. WalletHub's ranking of Detroit has declined since 2018, when Democratic Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer won election and committed to increasing literacy and restoring Detroit's dismal education system to its former glory. Whitmer during her tenure has failed to transform education in Detroit. WalletHub ranked Detroit an abysmal 180th out of 182 major cities for education and child care. In 2019, Whitmer vetoed more than $100 million in spending for charter schools and summer reading programs in Michigan, calling the proposals "legislative pork barrel."
definitely don't raise kids in Detroit, Raise them in a nice Republican place like the Hamptons, or possibly Santa Barbara. Greenwich may be acceptable for kid raising, but beware of unwholesome influences from tattooed, working class liberals infiltrating down from Bridgeport; worse yet, over educated, commie bookworms from just up the road in New Haven.
How much have we spent on the "War on Poverty"? You really think money is going to make a difference in a shit hole like Detroit?
You should also create a thread about the Best & Worst STATES to Raise a Family considering its from the same website of the best & worst CITIES to raise a family. Short Answer: Mississippi (a conservative state in the Deep South and greater Bible Belt) with a Republican Governor. In fact, look at the bottom 15 on the below list...do you see a pattern ??? Yet, from the below list...I was shocked to see Colorado and Montana not ranked much higher. https://wallethub.com/edu/best-states-to-raise-a-family/31065 wrbtrader
