as long as they meet a minimum income threshold (starting at $35,250 for one person If someone is earning that much per person, I have a hard time understanding why they'd even WANT to live in ChicaGary.

Slate named Gary, Indiana to be the” 2nd Most Liberal City in America!” (Behind #1 Detroit)
The liberal media morons should be FORCED to live in these liberal paradises they helped create, instead of the Mostly-white gated communities, with armed guards, that they hide behind now.
Imagine Tina Brown or Piers Morgan forced to live at Chicago and Woodward, in Detroit?

Is it racist to note that places with large black populations seem to have a whole host of social pathologies, in far greater numbers than other places???
Is it politically incorrect to note that many of these places have been run by Democrats for decades???
Both of these are inconvenient truths about many of these God forsaken places. They are facts. Yet, not sure if liberals will allow us to state such facts without being called racist, haters, etc.

This one is timeless. Detroit has been the butt of jokes for decades. This one from the 1970s. (Posting from phone, so sorry for lack of a proper link)

I can survive anywhere, but who wants to live in a place where that question is a real concern everyday.

I remember driving past Gary, Indiana back in the early 70s before the steel mills closed. The I-Road was nearly impassible due to the smoke from the mills.
It was considered a "blight". Now, it is a memory of productivity and prosperity.

Fascinating place. What’s the story behind it?
To: SeekAndFind
My parents moved there back in the mid 1950s after getting married.
They moved out 6 months later and still joke about it.
