Obama said people need to pick a system that WORKS for them. Something in Chicago ain’t working and folks are moving out. I wonder if he knows that this is plain B.S when talking to youth in Argentina. It’s easy on the road to talk like an EXPERT, but the folks back HOME, that sent him to Washington are singing a different tune.

With their current mayor you’d think the gays would be moving there in droves.

The last person left in IL gets stuck with the bill.

The North Shore suburbs are still okay though.

Of course the cure is raising taxes and tighter gun control for law abiding citizens.

They are leaving to colonize the conservative states, taking their cue from islam.

Several years ago, a friend’s brother took a job in Chicago. He arrived Saturday for his Monday start date. He stopped for a red light and a car containing several black men pulled up beside him. The blacks raised guns and pointed them at him. When the light changed, he turned around and drove back home. Monday, he called in and said he wouldn’t be taking the job.

Chicago will be just like Detroit. It will just take longer. Unfortunately, those who move will take their Democratic voting nature with them and destroy new areas.

There was an article here recently, saying that over 100,000 blacks, or over 10% of the black population of Chicago, has moved out in recent years. And not just moved out of Chicago, but moved to other states.

Maybe off topic, but, in the era of the internet and constant communications available almost everywhere, will many other big cities see big population declines??

Is there any reason for people to be crammed into big cities, if they don’t need to live in a big city to do their jobs, which in many businesses and industries, are becoming increasingly decentralized??

I’ve seen some reports, maybe just anecdotal, that many would prefer to live in a small city or small town, as opposed to a big city.

Or to put another way, why put up with the rotten crime, the rotten taxes, the rotten weather of a Chicago, if you can move to a smaller safer, less expensive sunbelt community????

I hate to say it. But this is not really a story. Chicago as a city has been losing population 4 out of the past 5 decades. But as a metropolitan area of 9.5 million, losing 6,000 in a year is not really a big thing. It’s about the murder rate. In reality Chicago is treading water. While other rust belt cities have been actually losing more population.

Detroit was the canary in the coal mine. All major metro areas run by Demonrats are going to experience this tragedy.

Hey lefties, if you don't want to end up moving to a conservative hellhole (from Karl Marx's perspective) you had better vote in some Patriots. It used to be I would say Republicans but they are nothing but rank smegma).

My least favorite American city, and I have visited some real stink holes: New Orleans, Memphis, Omaha, Los Angeles, Miami and Atlanta to name a few; none compare with Chicago for bad weather, bad food, crummy roads, poverty, leftism and hopelessness...good job Barack and Hillary!

Because of the sheer number of homicides?

A little over double the number of people shot that year.

Chicago area has greatest population decline of any U.S. city in 2015

All of those "would be 0bama's sons" shooting people faster than they can procreate.

The population decline is the result of a lead problem similar to Flint Michigan’s. The only difference is Flint’s lead is in the water, Chicago’s lead is in the air.
