I take your point, abandoned is too far.
As I understand it: it's a bad sign if a city is not growing. If a city's population is steady, but the countries population is increasing that means people are leaving the city. It at least indicates a lack of growth which can be a marker of a weak economy.
Abandoned is too far, but I think it's true that many of these cities are in some form of decline from their historical peak.
- aglavine 7y ago"it's a bad sign if a city is not growing" is something taken as true by many people, but I think it is absolutely arbitrary. Maybe the opposite is true for some cities. Other metrics as land value (San Francisco is the obvious example) and media income must be taken into account. I guess there are people out there that thinks that cities have a healthy population limit and growing beyond that can harm environment around.
