I read that about 10% of the black population of Chicago, moved out between 2010 and 2017.
Decent black folks don’t want to live in Chicago. Decent people of any ethnicity don’t seem to want to be there either.
If people keep moving out, how are they going to have enough taxpayers to support the pension benefits of public employees???
Bailout from uncle Sam...................
91 out of 102 illannoy counties voted for Trump. The number 1 economic killer here are real estate taxes. That’s the straw that breaks most peoples’ backs. That layered on top of ever rising income taxes, off the charts graft and corruption, endless chicken shit laws, endless democrat control of the levers of government, Chicago crime, gun control, and much much more. Chicago/crook county and to a lesser extent the collar counties kill the state.
“If people keep moving out, how are they going to have enough taxpayers to support the pension benefits of public employees??”
Two words: Exit Tax.
Impossible? They have them effectively already, in the guide of a real estate transfer tax, which Chicago was considering raising further “on the wealthy”.
