You can hate capital all day long, but in the end capital will leave where its not wanted and go to where it is:

Go to the link above and click Illinois and then Chicago on the Map to see how fast money is fleeing Chicago.
Then, go to the link and click New York and then NY City to watch their money fleeing.
“We’re seeing a lot of the same mistakes from the end of May being re-performed again following this past weekend’s looting,” Lopez said.”
They aren’t mistakes, Alderman.

Not sure Chicago and Detroit are comparable as far as the decline. A big reason that Detroit is a s***hole is because the surrounding suburbs passed laws that did not allow annexation by the city. No annexing equals no tax dollars. Add that to the death of the auto industry and the riots. Never, of course, leave out the looting of tax dollars by people running the schools and you have the chaos that is Detroit today.
Very few ever do.
That's why those who say we need America to fail in order to be fixed are imbeciles - who've never heard of Cuba.
We get one shot at this.
They got while the getting was good.
Yet they're still all victims of systemic racism. Just ask Kim Foxx.
In other news, suburban shopping malls are starting to see an uptick in tenants...
Get woke, get stupid and go broke.
Chicago is a corrupt mess run by Marxist idiots.
Vote Democrat . . . Win stupid stuff.
Yet another city that mrs riverdawg and I have crossed off our post-covid travel list, along with NYC, Portland, and Seattle.

The only way to counter-liberalism is for them to see the graveyards for themselves. Otherwise, their faith is impossible to shake.

That is very sad!!!!
Every city—and every human being—needs at least a little magnificence!!!! But the vile looters bring only the opposite—ugliness, corruption, and evil!!!!
Declare BLM and AntiFa terrorist organizations!! Punish the looters severely, as these destroyers deserve!! PHOOEY to them all!!!!
I wish Los Angeles had learned that lesson.
If that’s true... What kind of tenants?
There is a certain justice in the dissolution of Chicago. It was Mayor Daley and his fraudulent votes which led to the “election” of JFK. That election and the immigration reform law of 1965 fundamentally changed America forever. Those changes, whether it is politically correct to note it or not, have led directly to the dissolution of Chicago and elsewhere. America is no loner united by a consensus of commonly held decent values.
Daley was never held accountable for his crimes. Today’s Democrats will not be hesitant to repeat his tactics and use whatever fraudulent means necessary to “win” this election and complete the destruction of the American nation.
[The Ronald McDonald House in Chicago was vandalized during looting early Monday morning while families & their sick children huddled inside]
Democrat looters - stealing from a house for families with loved ones going through cancer treatments.
Great job, Democrats!
Chicago is dead.
The commie reds have the blues
