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.
Oakland has long been a stronghold of liberal activism.

So is SF and its one of the wealthiest cities in the country. The tie in is not liberal activism. Think again.

San Jose should NOT be teetering in and out of bankruptcy, given the tech boom, yet there they are.

Why not? It has a substantial pension fund it has to maintain. But the truth is that list of cities was developed back in 2010 not long after the Great Recession. A lot of cities and states that were struggling then are back in good shape these days because whether you all want to believe or not, the economy is in a lot better shape.

Compton and Fresno are NOT inconsequential. They are major cities, Compton being the center of the African-American community in Los Angeles and Fresno being one of the biggest blue-collar cities away from the coast.

They are very small cities; not major ones. You don't case. The right rarely does.
