The Detroitization of Chicago?

When that takes place cities are reduced to little more than welfare distribution centers and shooting galleries for gang bangers.

We could think of it as “Social Justice” - after all, it is their “Fair Share”.

No mention of crime in the article. Wonder why.

A recent study named Chicago the most corrupt city in the United States.

Yeah, I would have said 'Detroit' too - or maybe Miami. Cities run by Democrats ... ideas have consequences.

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.
