The major difference between Chicago and Detroit is that Chicago still has a tax base which is strong enough, relatively, to more than compensate than the difference in liability. Chicago may not be in a good position, but a one-dimensional use of stats won’t present reality.
I live in the People’s Republic of Chicago and watched how 200,00 people left the city in a decade. The tax base is fleeing, voting with their feet.

Your zero-dimensional claim with no supporting evidence (e.g. links) doesn’t present reality either.
So put up, or STFU.
