Freepers have a poor grasp of nuance..they like things simple
Cities are bad is one of them
Chicago outside a few south side zip codes is great.
I love it and the people
Well, we are talking crime. When it comes to being free, most Freepers are right about most cities. Chicago has a lot of idiotic laws that oppress conservatives but give liberals license. Seattle is a prime example of a city that has gone from very good to trash heap rabid commie liberal in just 30-years, being extremely hostile for conservatives. Chicago is too. So Freepers are not wrong, by and large. I would be hard pressed to live in either city and there would have to be a compelling need for me to tolerate living in such oppressive cities amid such liberal whack jobs.
But your point is valid that Freepers tend to act as if all cities are no go zones for Conservatives. A lot of cities have a lot of good features. It is just the loppressive liberal laws an throngs of commie residents that ruins it. I would not live in Chicago on a bet.
