I think it's a bi-partisan issue of just kicking the can down the road.
Detroit and New Orleans are in states run by Republicans and have been by and large run by Republicans for decades in the case of the former and a decade in the case of the latter.

As for Chicago, no the state government buildings in Illinois are actually kept top notch by the state government and for those that are city related they're actually kept up quite well. As are those in New York and Massachusetts as well, states run by and large by Democrats. Oh, and Maryland and California, too.
