REAL Milwaukee Report Card

The Chamber of Commerce and the Tourism bunches have their report cards on Milwaukee.

But the REAL one?

Nearly half of America's 30,000 cities will shrink by the end of the century, bringing 'unprecedented challenges' in keeping the lights on and buses running on schedule, researchers warn.

Experts at the University of Illinois Chicago say the worst-affected cities could shed as much as 23 percent of people, as residents move out to the suburbs and beyond for cheaper living elsewhere.

The hollowed-out cities will struggle to keep up basic services, as providers of public transit, internet cables and other suppliers will struggle to turn a profit after their customers have fled.

Falling numbers of tax-paying residents will strain services further still....

Milwaukee is #6 on the list, losing 1/2 of 1% of its population every year.

Last one out..........you know the drill.
