Good enough to leave as soon as you get a chance...........
Cincinnati lost more than 10 percent of its population over the past decade, falling below 300,000 people for the first time in more than a century.U.S. Census data released today also show that the city’s losses helped drive down Hamilton County’s population by 5 percent, leaving the county with about 802,000 residents.
The population of Cincinnati’s northern suburbs continued to boom over the past decade, with Warren County once again leading the way with a 34 percent jump. Butler and Clermont counties both grew by about 10 percent.
The Census figures showed a strengthening of a trend that took hold decades ago as growing numbers of people began choosing suburban cul-de-sacs over traditional city neighborhoods.
This should read "a trend that took hold decades ago as growing numbers of people fled to life in Redville, an area devoid of such amenities as horrible schools, high crime, high taxes, crappy city services, crumbling infrastructure, etc."
On the good side, the trolley should slow that exodus to a smooth 9.9% a decade.

PS for the record, I'm one of those people who fled the city for friendly environs in Warren County.

The city buys a $125,000,000 streetcar with borrowed dollars. Anyone who opposes it is a racist, uneducated, unprogressive, hick. Then they turn around and tell you that they can't afford luxuries like trash pickup. That or suburbs? Plus the added advantage of suburbia which is not being shot at. Hmmmmm. Decisions, decisions.
