Although this may seem to be an article focusing on Chicago, please realize Chicago is only being used as an example of the moral decay and corruption in virtually every major city in the United States. It serves as a stark warning to relocate if you are in one of these areas.
As noted by ReallyGraceful in the video above, Chicago, Illinois, ought to be “a haven of the United States.” The third largest city in the U.S., it’s filled with world-class architecture and technological advancements. It’s a center for manufacturing and transportation industries and has become a tech sector mecca.1
But rather than being the apple of America’s eye, Chicago has become known as “a center for murder, crime and corruption.” A person is shot every three hours and 41 minutes in “The Windy City.” This despite having some of the toughest gun control laws in the country.
Someone is murdered every 15 hours and 54 minutes in Chicago. According to statistics cited in the video, you’re more likely to be murdered in Chicago than die as a civilian in the Ukraine-Russia war. The violence in Chicago is primarily Black on Black, and most victims are Black men under the age of 25. How did this happen? How did Chicago become a center for crime rather than advancement?

Meh. The murder rate was over 1000/year back in the 90s. It’s always been iffy in certain neighborhoods. The thing now is that it is getting iffy almost everywhere in the city.
I would submit to you, that this is not an effect, but the INTENT of the leftists behind this saga.
You get one of these leftists away from the mics and cameras, and their DE&I talk becomes lots of "these people" and "them."
Scratch a leftist, find a racist.
the dems are moving the illegals into all dem controlled american towns and cities. these cities are 100 percent controlled by dems. they’ll sign the illegals up to vote and carry their states.

Hmmm, now what do those 10 cities all have in common?
LOL...it was time to get out of American cities 50-60 years ago...
I lived on the west side of Denver in the late 70’s. It was a great place to live back then.

I just looked it up. By golly, you’re right. And big money was involved (over $700,000).
And for those not in the know, winning the Democrat primary in the Pittsburgh region pretty much guarantees you the office.

Yep. It will all be downhill for Pittsburgh from now on. More crime, less policing.
But Pittsburgh does have one particular advantage. Its many hills and rivers tend to isolate some neighborhoods. So folks living in those neighborhoods will have a little reprieve. But only a little.
“I packed up 2 years ago and moved out of a Blue County (next to a Blue City) to a Red County. Things have changed in America, we now seem to be like pre-war Bosnia, with people taking sides and arming up.”
Yep, the people of this nation are self-sorting as conservatives move to even more conservative areas in red states, and liberals move to more progressive areas of blue states.
Those that say that we have had periods of high crime in our nation in the past are ignoring the fact that then most political leaders from both sides of the aisle worked together to reduce that crime. Or at least then the democrats were not actively agitating for more crime and practically stating it was the criminals’ right to steal, rape, and murder.
Here is another article from TheCenterSquare regarding Spokane and its budget woes.

“Spokane $50 million short of legal obligation in general fund”
Democrat-controlled States and cities are all suffering from past bad financial decisions and increased crime. Their solutions will be to add to those budget woes and implement policies that will only serve to increase crime.
Sounds very much like the used-to-be-semirural area between Tampa and Orlando that I moved to in the mid 1980s. Population has doubled, traffic abounds, housing/rent through the roof (not my problem, but daughter can't find a decent place she can afford on a fulltime salary), numerous ethnic restaurants (one good benefit), but in my neighborhood and in the downtown there is still a small-town feel. How long that will last is up in the air, but daughter is already talking about moving us to either northern KY or around Cleveland TN, and she is not right-wing like her dad or her brother (she isn't leftist either, thank God).
There is less and less rural these days. Pretty soon I-35 all the way from Oklahoma City to San Antonio is going to be one giant Googleplex.
Medium sized cities are also collapsing.

People need to know the redneck is contageous!
Whatever these west coats types may think they should avoid all parts of the South or they’ll be shouting ye’hah and wearing a MAGA cap on straight inside of a year.
“...what do those 10 cities all have in common?...”
Dilbert was right. Stay far away from pigmy cannibals. Eventually, the illegal aliens will outnumber and replace the feral savages.
The Azteca’s will make those urban cannibals dream about the good-ole days when they could guilt trip the Anglo-Saxon inhabitants.
Move to where it will be difficult for the denizens of the cities mentioned to get there easily. I moved to a county that has 1% of an ethnic persuasion and the counties East and West have 1%. The county South of me has no ethnic population. It is only accessed by two lane roads and is quite mountainous and hilly.
My family moved out of south side of Chicago in 1953. Handwriting was on the wall even then. I must say though at the time Chicago public schools were superb and about the only “crime” we worried about were occasional fist fights with Irish or Greek lads. In retrospect compared to current rot, those were truly the good old days!
