New York City struggling more than Detroit at Pacific Standard magazine.
Theme: Quality of talent migration over quantity.
Subject Article: "Bloomberg Warns the Next Mayor Could Follow Detroit Into Bankruptcy."

Postscript: Mayor Bloomberg spins quite a yarn about New York City's demographic boon. As long as the population keeps growing, city finances will be just fine. That thinking, kicking the fiscal can down the road, is the root of the Rust Belt city problem. Given global demographic convergence, any mayor can't depend on population growth to foot the bill.
