There are a lot of whites that have left the big cities.

Its called White Flight.

Honest why anyone wold move to Chicago is beyond me. The cynic in me says staged, but probably not.

I thought "gentrification" where whites moved back to the cities and cleaned everything up causing rents to rise was the latest outrage.

FWIW, most of Chicago is pretty safe. The violence rate is skewed by a small handful of almost entirely black neighborhoods that are absolute war zones.

Edgewater is not that safe. I would say most of Chicago is not safe. The rate of crime is rising in Lincoln Park ,Portage park and Wrigleyville.

The bad guys have nothing to fear. We are short on cops and those traditionally safe area have been stripped of Police to patrol Englewood and the rest of the jungle.

Burglaries in my “safe neighborhood”has increased 400% .
