PJB: You asked about Ohio.
Relatively conservative and largely GOP-dominated Metro Cincinnati is doing all right. The Dem-dominated city itself is struggling, but showing some signs of improvement, thanks to what appear to be (finally) a determination to do something about the crime problem.
Metro Columbus outside of the city itself is still doing pretty well.
Dem-dominated Cleveland, Akron, Youngstown, Canton, Toledo, and to a lesser extent Dayton are falling of the cliff.
The commenters who say we mostly have ourselves to blame here in the Buckeye State are correct.
Thanks for asking. :–>
