I spent all day Saturday walking around downtown Chicago, and I guarantee you it is no Detroit II.

It is almost completely gentrified for miles and miles surrounding the downtown area.

All 500K condos, expensive foreign cars, $4000 bicycles and women pushing strollers in high heels.

And the Loop area is spectacular and thriving.

I’m sure Chicago as a city has its share of problems - but it didn’t get the rug pulled out from under it like Detroit.
