Executive Fears Losing Big Cities—Because City Evaporation Is A Thing?

The anxious worry over picking winners among our beloved metropolis-rate hubs rings as both chilling and genuinely hilarious, given the vague doomsday yet zero proposed solutions. Stay tuned as cities await their fate like lost contestants on a reality survival show.
