One factor in cities’ leftward drift, argue political observers, is that urban populations are getting younger, and young people are more likely to vote Democratic. Price thinks that Fort Worth defies that trend. The city is one of the nation’s most youthful, with a median age of 31.5 years, but it also has considerably more households per capita with children under 18 than the national average, thanks to low housing costs—due in part to the relative ease of building in the city—and a good quality of life, with a crime rate lower than New York City’s and less than a quarter of Detroit’s. (To help achieve that safety, Fort Worth residents voted to dedicate 0.5 percent of the city’s sales tax to anticrime programs.) Price has also tried to engage younger residents, many of whom are coming to the city because of its job opportunities. Though many of these young workers are socially liberal, says Price, when they learn about how city government actually works, “it turns out they are often fiscally conservative.”

Боже, храни Техас!

Согласись, нестандартное решение для Rebuplican/fiscally conservative. Было бы резонно ожидать, что резиденты FW будут тратить деньги на оружие и боеприпасы.

Но техасские расклады отличаются от общенациональных.

Если честно, я не уверен, насколько оно нестандартное. Есть какой-нибудь обзор стандартных для fiscally conservative методов?

Сомневаюсь, что НЙ тут упоминался в контексте "даже".

А в чем тут тогда смысл упоминания НЙ? Почему написано "меньше, чем четверть от детройтской", но просто "ниже, чем в НЙ"?

Он упомянул крупнейший город и самый плохой из крупных, очевидно.

Нет. Детройт самый плохой из крупных.
