The Elites as in all Democrat controlled big cities have hired private security - (unavailable to lowly taxpayers), to protect themselves from the rampant crime.

Epstein and his neighbors near Wrigley hire private security
Chicago Cubs President Theo Epstein.
With crime surging citywide, residents in one of Chicago’s wealthiest neighborhoods are chipping in to hire private security guards to patrol their 16-square-block section of Lake View a half-mile west of Wrigley Field.
Among those donating to the cause: Cubs President Theo Epstein and his wife.
The Epsteins are among “dozens” of families who have contributed to the Southport Community Alliance, a not-for-profit group formed in June to pay for patrols of homes bounded by West Grace Street, West Roscoe Street, and Southport and Ashland avenues.
Marie Whitney, Epstein’s wife, is one of three directors of the organization, according to state records.
Besides a rise in burglaries and robberies in their neighborhood, the Epsteins understandably have other concerns about safety.
Theo typically walks the nine or so blocks to work at Wrigley Field, according to a recent ESPN The Magazine story. In 2012, a mentally ill Boston-area woman who had developed a fixation on Theo arrived on the Epsteins’ doorstep and chatted up a wary Marie, before heading to the ballpark in search of Theo.
A Cubs spokesman declined to answer questions about the Epsteins’ involvement with the alliance.
Others involved declined to comment on the group’s donors — though the Southport Community Alliance website says it has “over 100 families supporting it.”
At a community meeting Monday to discuss the program and its progress, Epstein was among those in the audience. He told others he’d been impressed with how the program has been working. He told the gathering the motivation for the program was “gunshots.”
