This is always the argument from supply-side conservatives, but much like how supply side economics never holds up to real strutiny, this ‘liberal cities are dying’ narrative doesn’t hold up either. Outside of liberal enclaves in conservative states (Austin), the fastest growing economies are all liberal coastal cities. It’s where educated people go to study and want to live.

Exactly.

Even Republicans prefer liberal cities. When GOP Presidential candidates want to raise real money, they make pilgrimages to NYC and LA because that's where the actual money is.

See the Kansas Experiment

DeSantis was here in LA within the past week trying to drum up donations for his presidential campaign, and the best he could offer to justify Florida's dismal economic performance is...that it "ain't woke." But it's better to be woke than broke.
