Happy St. Valentine's Day, Chicago. You know the bit.Their slogan:
“Chicago, the new Detroit!”
Liberals are like a cancer. They screw up Chicago...they move on and infest a better ‘host’ (like Colorado).
Sure the dirt poor are trapped in Chicago, Detroit, etc...but the white guilt, limo liberals of the world just pull up stakes and move.
Bush’s fault!
Looks like the ‘Chicago way’ of doing things doesn’t sit well with a lot of people.
chicago’s a dump.
never again do we schedule a flight thru’ chicago.
not to mention the political corruption.
Who wants to live in a cesspool anyway????
We will need to wall it off when they go bankrupt, this is going to be the real test for America’s survival, does the federal government succeed in taxing and borrowing money to bail out bankrupt states,,its a corrupt sewer politically speaking..
I really think we are beginning to see the wholesale abandonment of U.S. cities. Look at Detroit for instance. My feelings are mixed, as I don’t want city arseholes anywhere near me, thank you very much. Places like my town of Rutland have been infested enough as it is. On the other hand this really puts a wrench into the UN’s Agenda 21 plans.
So how can they still produce enough votes to keep the crazies in power here in Illinois??? I was listening to Don and Roma this morning interview Jan Cichowski. Wow what a left wing loony!! They should call her (Jan in wonderland)
Great, in a couple of more decades you can buy lakefront property on the cheap!
Happy St. Valentine's Day, Chicago. You know the bit.Me and the wife left in 2007. No regrets at all. In fact, we won’t even go there to visit friends. We’ve had enough.
Gentrification. The wealthy (mostly white) moved into the the “inner-city”, and the poor/working class were pushed out into the suburbs. The suburbs are demographically becoming heavily Hispanic, Black, and recent East European immigrants.
To turn a blind eye to the real effect of racial differences and to blame social oppression for the dilemma that has befallen does a dis-service to the real issue.
A history lesson and a review of different countries and racial make up will only lead to the conclusions that will help rectify what nobody wants to address.
Illinois,Cally and New York are the kind of States that will still vote for Liberals/Dem’s even if they had 50% Unemployment,,,I hope all the conservatives moved to Red&Purple states to make sure Obama loses in 2012!
I would move out, but I got too much family here.
With all the people leaving Chicago, that will just leave more corruption for those who stay.
I am a lifelong resident of Chicago. Maybe on paper the population has decreased, but I have a hard time believing that the actual population has shrunk. Granted, Daley launched many of the project dwellers outside the city via section 8, the number of undocumented/uncounted illegal aliens makes up for the loss.
Just try driving through Little Village, West Lawn/Chicago Lawn, West Eldson, Garfield Ridge neighborhoods, lots of congestion that was not there 10-15 years ago. Parking in residential neighborhoods is a nightmare with 4-5 cars per household and twice that many living in each house.
I am at ground zero on this one, and I am not seeing a decline in population.
