What person or business in their right mind would look at Chicago and say... ‘I want to live there.’
I know it is crazy, but there are high rise condo’s being built all over the downtown area. At least four massive condo projects going up around McCormick Place.
As recently as a few weeks ago, I saw a puff piece on Chicago hosted by Savannah Guthrie insisting that it ranked #1 as America’s favorite large city.
“What person or business in their right mind would look at Chicago and say... ‘I want to live there.’”
I think it’s the same with any other problem and how it is being dealt with in our society.
Look at topics like the attack on religion, acceptance of homosexuality, crooked politicians, protesters doing damage (rioters), forced acceptance of racial differences, and the eroding of our first amendment by the legal grounds and lawyers for money. Before the 60’s none of these would have been tolerated. But, in time, the people have been conditioned to compromise and be herded into the corral until they are needed. Some in numerous overlapping corrals and they don’t even know it or investigate it as they think they are happy. Until the next concession comes along and it is no longer a compromise....but a concession of their values. Oh, they’ve already been clobbered into forced change, too. So it is no longer a compromise...it is an unconditional surrender.

Sadly, sheltering-in-place is a way of life in the once great Chi-Town. (Same w NY, Baltimore, NJ, East LA, others).
These good peeps live in fear, yet continue to vote for the Dems and their policies that keep them poor and dependent and now without a robust law enforcement presence.
