When big cities develop perpetual one party rule through policies like district gerrymandering, block voting, and ballot harvesting, the entrenched political elites take all the political power from the voters. Those elites are established interests whose policies are designed to prevent upward social mobility and stifle potential business competitors through complex and confiscatory tax schemes and monopoly favoring regulations. When the policies get Draconian enough, the net taxpayers use their superior resources to vote with their feet, leaving the interest groups and tax beneficiaries behind. Essentially, without electoral competition, politicians slowly eat the goose that lays the golden eggs.
Also, as Europeans maybe you don't know that cities have their own executives, laws, police forces, and prosecutors. High crime Red states get most of their crime from blue cities.
