There's a radio talk-show host proclaiming that all people from Cleveland are going to heaven...because we've already experienced hell.
On top of the sports, the city is in general decline. Unemployment is up. Kids are dumb. The unions have a firm grip on the city.
You want to know how this city tries to encourage growth??
Property tax abatements (among the properties not paying taxes are Gund Arena, Jacob's Field, Cleveland Browns Stadium, probably the Rock Hall of Fame).
What pays for the public schools?
Property taxes.
The city tries to get people to come with lower taxes, but the people stay away because of the bad schools.
I'm sorry, I'm getting off topic.
Needless to say, I think Cleveland may have it worse off.
