Hi tejek; Re: "The only city of consequence on that list is Oakland which has a long history of financial problems and will continue to have them for the foreseeable future. San Jose has financial reserves but is experiencing a grown pension burden. The rest on your list are inconsequential.";

I don't have a dog in this hunt, but as far as the size of these cities, don't forget Fresno:
(#3) San Jose
(#5) Fresno
(#8) Oakland

And the list is not complete. Stockton (#13), San Bernardino (#17) are already bankrupt.

So looking at the top 20, five are TU which is a hell of a lot.

P.S. I was surprised to see that Mission Viejo(#75) is also bankrupt. And they're not exactly heavily dominated by Democrats:

Of the 56,286 registered voters in the city, 31,090 (55.2%) are Republicans, 14,319 (25.4%) are Democrats, 8,790 (15.6%) declined to state political affiliation, and the remaining 2,087 (3.8%) are registered with a minor party.
