American cities will become ‘ghost towns’ by the year 2100 due to social and economic factors, according to a new study.
The decay in American cities is already very noticeable, especially the ones that are under Democrat control.
Progressive policies in cities like Los Angeles and San Francisco have caused businesses to flee to other states, so the study’s prediction isn’t that hard to believe.
The New York Post reported:
“Researchers at the University of Illinois Chicago used population projections to find that, by the year 2100, almost half of nearly 30,000 cities in the U.S. will experience a population decline.
The population decline would represent 12%–23% of the population of these cities, the study states. The aftermath of such a decline will bring “unprecedented challenges,” the study explains further.
These cities could face a loss in basic services like transit, clean water, electricity and internet access.
Furthermore, an issue depopulation poses is a “dwindling tax base” that would certainly impact basic city services.”
#Detroit, Brush & Watson, 1998-2022. This old mansion on the SE corner, while abandoned & in disrepair, was still a rehab candidate in 1998. But an arson fire left it gutted & unfeasible for a reno. New development is almost complete. The old gas station remains at the NE corner. pic.twitter.com/97PIk6kb3I

“Simultaneously, increasing population trends in resource-intensive suburban and periurban cities will probably take away access to much-needed resources in depopulating areas, further exacerbating their challenges,” the report states.
The report added:
“Although immigration could play a vital role, resource distribution challenges will persist unless a paradigm shift happens away from growth-based planning alone.”
The study also found that urban cities with lower median household income in the Northeast and Midwest would likey see a depopulation over time.
People fleeing blue cities have become more common in recent years.
As we reported last July, California has lost more tax income revenue from people fleeing the crime-ridden hell hole than any other state, according to a new study.
Real estate platform MyEListing.com found that California lost approximately $343.2 million in tax income due to people fleeing the state in 2021.
Meanwhile, deep blue New York came in second with a net loss of $299.6 million, and Democrat-run Illinois was third with $141.7 million.
