As bad as NYC is, at least it periodically temporarily comes to it’s senses. Chicago on the other hand has been under one party democrat rule for 89 years.
New York State did briefly, too. Unfortunately, they chose George Pataki, who was utterly useless after his first few months in office.
Chicago? You’d have to get the dead to stay in their graves on election night, which hasn’t happened ever. Richard Daley is still voting, and so’s Al Capone.
