Many places are also abandoned . Also Moscow has more people than NYC while the population of Russia is much lower than the US . We have same issues with places being abandoned and people moving to certain cities but we have more places that do well spread out across the country .

One thing I hate about the internet and meme crap is simplistic things like this which are misleading but people who see it think they have so much knowledge.

It's like the right wingers who keep attacking California . YEah, California has many places we need to fix but the red areas are dying places with Drug addiction and even wealthy republicans don't live or invest there. They will never ask themselves why that is .

We have a problem in this country for sure but the ones responsible for it are those who attack those problems . They like to point out the problems but attack Democrats that try to do anything to fix it .
