More fruits of democrat government control: Kidless West Coast cities.

What does Seattle, San Francisco, Portland and most other major cities on the West Coast have in common?

1. They're becoming increasingly childless and,
2. They've all been run by the liberal left... most for decades.

See the connection?

Seattle Weekly Editor Knute Berger Is Right

At lunch, as I was finishing my teriyaki, I was startled to see that he had written an editorial making an argument about Seattle — that bad policy choices had driven children out of the city — that I had made generally for the "kidless" cities (San Francisco, Seattle, Portland, et cetera) just this morning. Berger even named busing as one of the bad policy choices, just as I had.

Now it is true that Berger didn't name the party or the ideology of the elected officials who made these choices, but I suppose he doesn't want to shock the readers of the Weekly too much. And he did list a whole series of Seattle policy mistakes that Republicans and conservatives have criticized over the years.

All in all, an amazing editorial — considering where it was published.
