New York City, Chicago, LA to name 3. All nearly bankrupt. With people in the streets.

That is typical of large cities.
No, it is not.
What large cities is it not true of?

New York City is in pretty good financial shape.

LA has budget deficit problems for next year that are actually being ameliorated BY THE SURGE in immigration since the migrants filling lower-paying, more physically demanding positions that do not attract as many native-born residents. Immigrants in the city held $38.3 billion in spending power, and paid $9.6 billion in federal taxes and $5 billion in state and local taxes.


Chicagos financial tsuris stems from an over $35 billion pension debt plus another $2 billion in retiree health benefits.


Once again you are just making up shit
both Chicago and NEW YORK have long term obligations , for every dollar of revenue they raise they owe 3$.
Both have Bond ratings of BB ( Junk Bond territory.)
Los Angeles obligations are $ 200 for every dollar in revenue.
