This seems impossible! The Wall Street Journal just published a letter from Mayor Emanuel saying that the new mass of money was going to make Chicago’s school system and the whole city number one again.

This can also be seen as the rise of the new “City-State” as these islands of corruption, political self-dealing and outright theft continue spread their tentacles out into the suburbs and extraburbs. This grown will continue until the political power of the ‘city’ rivals that of the home State.

We see this ‘power’ in national elections, were a major city can capture the State’s electoral votes, over-riding the votes and wishes of the rest of the population. That much of this ‘political power’ is driven by **demonstrable fraud** only increases the frustrations of rural residents.

One need only look at the recent attempt of 10 counties in KS and CO attempted to break away (from Denver/Kansas City) and form their own - nonwelfare State.

This...call it ill-will, will continue to increase as taxes continue to be jacked up to support the massive welfare population.

The days of this Nation are numbered unless things change.

...and putting the historic mansion up for sale for $794,000.

Good luck. It's a beautiful house, but who's going to buy it? The same thing that keeps guests away will keep buyers away.

The interior of The Welcome Inn is beautiful and grand.
It’s the sort of place TV series or movies could use to film their episodes. Immense and captivating inside. You sort of forget where you are, until you go outside the door.

I lived in the late seventies in a house in downtown Toledo (OH) and live in one now that has that kind of woodwork in it and the workmanship is stunning! You just can’t get that kind of craftmanship anymore unless you spend the BIG, BIG bucks... And before I moved in here the landlord hired a drunk loser guy to paint this place and he painted over all the gorgeous woodwork! If I ever see that SOB again, I’m going to shoot him with extreme prejudice!

Mr Lifson should consider a visit to Detroit, the slamming needs to stop. It is not what he thinks, smart money invested with REITs 5 yrs ago, the changes are starting to get noticed, especially by native Detroiter’s....

and a decline in civil order leading toward a third world level of crime.
------------------------------------------------------

The country with the highest murder rate
appears to be El Salvador, at 108.64 per
100,000 residents.

Chicago's rate is 28.

Chicago had the eighth-highest murder rate among big U.S. cities in 2016.
Cities including St. Louis (59.3), Baltimore (51.3) and Detroit (44) have much higher rates.

I guess the lesson to be learned is that we have nowhere near third-world murder rates.

For now.

The Democrats are takers. They’re not builders.

Chicago has been the White man’s Detroit for a long time. The only difference has been Michigan’s Democrats decided they didn’t care about a Black city turning into a cesspool. Chicago has been different because the money on Illinois has been in Chicago.Now the money is gone and they have no place to get more. Chicago’s days are numbered.

It’s near the Hyde Park neighborhood (U. of Chicago). At that price it seems like a steal.

Courtesy of data at the ‘Hey Jackass’ web-site: of the 75 or so neighborhood areas in the city, only 15 have had no murders this year: three near the central Loop area, one on the South Side, three on the Far South Side, six on the Far Northwest side, and one on the North Side. Every other neighborhood has seen at least one murder this year, and over most of the South Side and West Side, those murder numbers go into double digits. And we’ve still got 4 months to go.

Detroit has already bottomed out and is recovering, Chicago has yet to reach rock bottom.
