So leave. Better to leave early than late. Just look at Detriot.

They don’t want to get stuck paying for the lavish pension and healthcare promises made by crooked politicians to crooked labor unions. I can’t say I blame them.

Same can be said of any large Dem run city. Memphis has had White flight for over a decade, now it’s Black flight of the more prosperous working class. Doctors, Lawyers big money makers have long moved into the 2 neighboring states and the counties. WE move out 5 yrs ago CRIME, TAXES, call 911 you’ve a 30 minute wait...LOCK AND LOAD you can’t depend on the Police appointed by a Dem Mayor. County is Elected and can be bounced.

They comprise the largest share of the workforce and eligible voters.

And they'll move to red states, bringing along their unfortunate voting habits, and ruin their new locations.

Note: this topic is from 1/29/2019. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
Over a third of young adults in Chicago — especially African Americans — want out of this city, citing racism, fractured police-community relations, neighborhood disinvestment and lack of jobs and economic mobility... 1 in 3 African-American, 1 in 6 Latinx and 1 in 10 Asian millennials said they can’t depend on Chicago police in an emergency, vs. 8 percent of whites.
Here's a tip -- the problems with Chicago are the criminals, and the population isn't mostly made up of criminals.

Englewood’s a hellhole because the people living there subscribe to a toxic pity-party culture where nothing is their fault... If they leave — and take their inner city culture with them - the next place will become a hellhole too.

True Civ but the criminal part of the toxic inner-city culture is the one that rules. I lived in Hyde Park (adjacent neighborhood) years ago - and even then Englewood was dominated by thugs.
