  1. "Is The US Becoming A Dystopia?" Is the world becoming a dystopia?

  2. Homeboy, check this out: Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, Cleveland, East Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Atlantic City, Buffalo, etc. Don't you see the pattern here? What state are you from?
    108
  3. You're comparing a city with 2.7 million people to a town with only 69 k.
    62
  4. Just like Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Buffalo, etc.
    58
  5. It never ends: Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, Cleveland, East Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Atlantic City, Buffalo, countless suburbs, countless shopping malls, etc.🙄
    52
  6. "As I've always said, most problems come from having too many people in close proximity: more people means more problems." How safe, clean, efficient, and prosperous is Tokyo (a.k.a. the most populated city in the world)?
    49
  7.  Cadillac Kadafi  "Gary Indiana is a Chicago suburb..." So are Winnetka, Glencoe, Hinsdale, Lake Forrest, and many other ultra-rich towns in Chicagoland.
    47
  8. Exactly. The relationship between crime and poverty is reciprocal: crime causes poverty (not just vice versa).
    41
  9. Yes, his kitty language: Catonese. 😉
    38
  10. "Has anybody recognize that the black population has not changed in the last 80 years" Has anybody recognized that the Latino, Asian, and Middle Eastern populations have changed?
    33
  11. Daley II was the mayor from 1989 - 2011. During that time, when did anything like this EVER happen?
    33
  12. So far, they've ruined Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, Cleveland, East Cleveland, K.C., D.C. (in certain 'hoods), N.Y. (in certain 'hoods), L.A. (in certain 'hoods), Chicago (in certain 'hoods), Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Atlantic City, Buffalo, countless suburbs, countless shopping malls, etc.🙄
    29
  13. Why do they have such a thing for scattering like roaches? 🙄🙄
    27
  14. What kind of juvenile? The same that are also abundant in Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, East Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Atlantic City, or Buffalo? 🤔
    23
  15.  @adriancarroll685  Racism on the part of who?
    23
  16. It's because Europe has different demographics (duh).
    17
  17.  @tomotrono242  "you can really see the difference when the majority of a society has common sense" Could Tokyo's demographics be a factor? Hmmm.
    16
  18.  Cadillac Kadafi  Yeah, and the Continental U.S. is connected together by the Interstate Highway System (too).
    16
  19.  @PassportBrosAndBlondeManWeaves  "It has nothing to do with laziness." OH, PLEAAAASE!! 🙄🙄
    15
  20. "In Poland, walking around cities at night only risks dying of boredom." Why is that? Demographics? Hmmm. 🤔🤔
    15
  21.  @Ashytoclassyy  How many battles did Europeans have to fight against invading Persians, North Africans, Tartars, Mongolians, or Ottomans?
    15
  22. @TheJosman The "main reason of Detroit's urban change was the" demographic change–duh! 🙄🙄
    15
  23.  @shaykosovac8722  Don't you even understand what "per capita" means? 🙄🙄 Dude, last year, New Orleans had a homicide rate that was almost THREE-TIMES WORSE than Chicago's!
    14
  24. Which people? Hints: Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Buffalo, this video, etc.
    14
  25.  @MoonlightXYZ  Last I checked, W.V. is the FOURTH-most-subsidized state (i.e., subsidized by D.C.). Illinois? The 46th. 😡😡
    13
  26.  @Israel.Is.TerroristState  How many battles did Europeans have to fight against invading, colonizing Persians, North Africans, Tartars, Mongolians, or Ottomans?
    12
  27.  @applejuice5635  How could any place look "way worse" than this? 🙄🙄
    12
  28.  @audenharper3014  "...red states are 10k-20k behind on median incomes than blue states..." How does that compare to the cost of living? For example, living in Florida is about 30% cheaper than California. Also, liberal Hawaii is about TWICE as expensive as many Republican states! People in liberal N.Y.C., D.C., Boston, etc., had better be making more. "...rural red states don't have basic infrastructure like sewage systems." How much of the poverty in rural areas is due to low commodity prices? 🤔🤨People in rural areas rely on septic systems–duh! 🙄🙄 "...red states have the highest the highest [sic] obesity rates, least amount of doctors per capita and are the unhealthiest, unhappiest states in the country." OH, PLEASSSE!! 🙄🙄 Not that tired, clichéd argument again! 🙄🙄 When the Democrats dominated the South, the South was also exceptionally poor. States like Mississippi have the most difficult demographics–duh! 🙄🙄
    12
  29. Briggs: "Why is Maine so safe?" I dunno. Midnight hockey?
    11
  30.  @anamarvelo  Oh, shut up! 🙄🙄 Reagan hasn't been the president since January, 1989. Dude, we're almost in 2025. How about we take responsibility? By the way, when Reagan ran for reelection, he won 49/50 states (and Mondale barely won his home state), so something was going right.
    11
  31. Crime so low cause the criminals actually get punished..." Here's another reason why Singapore has low crime: much easier demographics.
    11
  32. Yeah, besides those SEVEN, I'm also surprised that Detroit, Newark, New Orleans, East St. Louis, Cleveland, East Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Camden, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Buffalo, and a couple-dozen-other places didn't make the Top Ten. 🙄🙄
    11
  33. I've never seen this for the U.S. Independence Day. First of all, the cops won't allow you to fly American flags. How do I know? Because me & a buddy tried–two different times–to do that, and the cops just appeared out of thin air! 🙄🙄 Also, how would the p.c. media & the press react?🤔 Would they define it as "showing their pride," or would they totally denounce it as shameful, jingoistic, imperialistic, etc.?🤔🤨 Translation: It's only p.c. to fly FOREIGN flags! 🙄😡 P.S. I've learned a lot of Spanish, I've dined at Mexican restaurants countless times, etc., so don't assume that I'm being mean.
    11
  34. Have you learned Portuguese, or are you living in an English-speaking bubble?
    11
  35. January 6th was as choreographed as 9-11!
    11
  36.  @sandithompson5164  That's a drop of just over 50% vs. its peak. 🧐
    10
  37. Stop with your demagoguery!🙄 Last I checked, this is the deal for the federal income tax. The top 1% paid 40.4% (while making 22.4%). The top 5% paid 61% (while making 38.3%). The top 10% paid 72%. The top 25% paid 87.2%. The top 50% paid 97%. You can do the math for the bottom 50%, right? Also, do you care just as much about waiters, dish washers (almost all of whom are male), bus boys, etc.? Or do you only feel bad for low-paid women?
    10
  38.  @TunTheOfficial  "I wonder why the black population isn't growing.. it's weird. 12% for the last 20 years" It's because other minorities have been increasing (duh).
    10
  39. OH, PLEASSSE! 🙄🙄 In 2022, New Orleans had a homicide rate that was almost THREE-TIMES WORSE than Chicago's! 🙄🙄 Last year, N.O. was over twice as bad. Have you ever been to Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, East Cleveland, Philadelphia, Little Rock, or Jackson? 🤔🤨 I've lived in Chicago for the last 34 years. What are your credentials? 🤔🤨
    10
  40. (2:00 - 2:40) POLICE, HELP US! 🙄
    10
  41. Briggs: "Why is Maine so safe?" For the exact-same reason as Tokyo: sparsely populated.
    10
  42. Thank you! Also, how much of the "spending billions on wars" (e.g., Ukraine) actually goes to slush funds? 🧐🤔🤨
    10
  43.  @mjor6406  "Calgary is pretty multicultural has has a low crime rate." What percentage of Calgary "has has" the you-know-who crowd? "It's all about stable economy, good social programs..." The relationship between crime and poverty is reciprocal: more crime creates more poverty (believe it or not). It's much easier to have a stable economy, good social programs, and good education when you have much easier demographics–duh. Of course, you're Canadian, so–quite naturally–you're naïve. "Overall, Canada's crime rate is much lower than the USA and Canada is a very multicultural country." What percentage of Canada is the you-know-who crowd? If the U.S. and Canada swapped demographics, what would happen? Crime in the U.S. would plummet, and crime in Canada would soar. Of course, you're Canadian, so–quite naturally–you're naïve.
    9
  44. "There's a HUGE reason why Maine is a phenomenal place..." Yeah, I know–demographics.
    9
  45. OH, PLEASSSE! 🙄🙄Yeah, AS IF those freeloaders want to work! 🙄🙄 By the way, crime causes poverty more than poverty causes crime.
    9
  46. Betard 62: "Please Chicago has the most crime rate ever in the US." WROOOOONG! Detroit, Flint, Oakland, St. Louis, Atlantic City, Wilmington, Memphis, Birmingham, Little Rock, Cleveland, Atlanta, Buffalo, Hartford, K.C., Milwaukee, D.C., Indianapolis, Miami, Newark, etc., all have higher crime rates than Chicago.
    9
  47.  @aloquicious  "How can it be biased?" Oh aloquicious, you're so naïve!🙄 Where are you from? Maine? Vermont? "The video just stated facts..." The video stated propaganda. Whoever made this video must be as naïve as you. "...and simply asked you for the explanation." The explanation is demographic change–duh!🙄Think about it: Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, Cleveland, East Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Atlantic City, Buffalo, etc. Are you too naïve to see the pattern? "How can anyone be offended?" How can black people be so offended at the mere sight of a non-black person walking/driving around in their precious "turf?"
    9
  48. Like 9-11? 🤔🤨
    9
  49.  @Interdimensionaltravelagent  Yeah, Amsterdam probably is more "diverse" than Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, East St. Louis, New Orleans, Newark, Memphis, Gary, Cleveland, Camden, Philadelphia, Jackson, etc.
    9
  50. What percentage of those "billions of dollars to give to Ukraine" actually went to slush funds? 🧐🤔 Hmmm. 🤨🤨
    8
  51.  @mrxanthios7045  From 1946 - 1964 (i.e., the Baby-Bomber Era), the U.S. was much less socialist than it is now. Last I checked, Cuba also has a very low birth rate.
    8
  52. "Trump what are you going to blame it on !" Democrats–duh! 🙄 P.S. Nice punctuation. 🙄
    8
  53. SHHHH! All these insiders want their cut from the slush funds.
    8
  54.  @daendiznigh  I tried to respond, but the Censorship Machine blocked me. Interesting: You cursed at me, but the Censorship Machine didn't block you. What's up with that? 🤔 Hmmm. 🤨
    8
  55. Why is Minsk so clean & safe? Demographics? Hmmm. 🤔🤔
    8
  56. Last I checked, Central Illinois gets $1.87 for every dollar it sends to Springfield, and Southern IL. gets $2.81 for every dollar it sends to Springfield. While affluent, N.I.M.B.Y. suburbanites live in splendid isolation, Chicago is the dumping ground for housing projects, Section 8, homeless shelters, cheap apartments, etc. Meanwhile, Chicago provides lots of jobs for commuting suburbanites. In the last 30 years, what percentage of Illinois' tourism revenues have come from Chicago, or its convention revenues? How much out-of-state tourism does Peoria attract? How many out-of-state conventioneers does Rockford attract?
    8
  57.  @EDotHamilton  Jan. 6th was choreographed (sap).
    8
  58. Australia has much, much, much easier demographics–duh! 🙄🙄 "The extremes of wealth are perplexing..." That's because you're naïve. "...‘the land of the free.'" Australia: the land of the naïve.
    8
  59.  @mjor6406  "Canada is the smaller version of the USA." What percentage of Canada is the you-know-who crowd? If Canada suddenly had the same demographics as the U.S., it would become much less safe (and much less naïve). "Toronto and Montreal are the most cultural cities on earth." What percentage of Toronto and Montreal is the you-know-who crowd? Canadian diversity isn't the same as American diversity. Of course, you're Canadian, so–quite naturally–you're naïve. "Much safer than NYC LA or Chicago or Miami" That's because of demographics–duh. Of course, you're Canadian, so–quite naturally–you're naïve.
    7
  60. OH, PLEAAASE! 🙄🙄 In the 34 years that I've lived in Chicago, I've NEVER seen anyone cruising around with an Irish/Italian flag. For that matter, the cops won't allow people to cruise around with American flags.
    7
  61. It's easy for her to be idealistic, because somebody else will being paying for it.
    7
  62. Next up: How Europeans prevented invading Persians, North Africans, Tartars, Mongolians, and Ottomans from colonizing Europe. 🧐
    7
  63. Could the fact that it's the third-most-populated city have something to do with that? 🙄🙄 If the carjacking situation is better in Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Buffalo, etc., perhaps that's because those cities have fewer affluent residents.
    7
  64. "A Chicago landlord..." A PLAINFIELD landlord! 🙄🙄
    7
  65.  @ohedd  It's easy to imagine another reason why there are so many dual-income couples: female strategy (i.e., be feminist in some ways, traditional in others). So many men complain that their women's wages are hers, yet his wages are ours. HA! How slick! 🤨🤨 How many women go to work because they know that they'll keep their wages all for themselves, while their man pays the bills (e.g., her student debt)? 🤨🤨
    7
  66.  @loveroflife8852  Do you actually live in Detroit proper? Detroit has lost 2/3rds of its population.
    7
  67.  @audenharper3014  I tried & tried to respond, yet the Censorship Machine blocked me every time. People like you can't win a fair fight. Okay, fine. Enjoy it while it lasts.  You'll see.
    7
  68. Uh, almost? 🙄🙄
    7
  69. Uh, it's on the tip of my tongue....🤔🤔
    6
  70.  @homodeus8713  How has karma effected the descendants of all those Persians, North Africans, Tartars, Ottomans, and Mongolians that invaded Europe? 🤔🤔
    6
  71. "Motherhood is hard..." How's it compare to fatherhood? My brother exists to work & provide. Meanwhile, his poooooooor wifey 😩 sleeps 10 hours a night (and wears the pants). When you blame "society," who specically are you really blaming? Men, right?
    6
  72. "Crime wasn't a factor during the initial mass exodus from these cities." Surrrrrre it wasn't!🙄 Detroit's 1967 riots didn't scare anybody out? Newark's 1967 riots didn't scare anybody out, or all those riots in 1968? Have you been living in splendid isolation your entire life? "Crime came as a by-product of the mass exodus..." Bogus! Big declines in population do not inevitably lead to more crime. The U.S., Europe, Japan, etc. have many, many places where the populations have seen bad/terrible declines: yet rather than becoming more dangerous, they've merely become more sleepy. Why? Demographics. "Crime is not the core ailment; it is the symptom." Oh brother, here we go again!🙄 Once more, a devil's advocate breaks out that old, tired cliché. Dude, the relationship between crime and poverty is reciprocal: CRIME CAUSES POVERTY (not just vice versa)! Get out of your ivory tower! Are you as young & naïve as the sap that made this p.c. propaganda? What state are you from? Maine? Vermont?
    6
  73.  @Nationrising1  "Its [sic] worst [sic] than ever depending on who you ask [sic] but some have seen worst [sic] may be [sic] its [sic] your turn [sic]" 🙄🙄
    6
  74.  @BonzerMrT  Sure, out of 195 countries, "some" have it together. However, look at the super-low birth rates: Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, Germany, etc.
    6
  75. This had better not result in any....RACIAL PROFILING! 🙄🙄
    6
  76. (1) Record violence compared to who? Dude, it's the PER CAPITA rates, not the totals, riiiiight? 2016 was a bad year for us, yet we still didn't make neighborhoodscout's list: Top 100 Most Dangerous Cities in the U.S. (2) Our violence is concentrated in neighborhoods that outsiders simply avoid--bada bing, bada boom. (3) What mass exodus from Chicago? Last I checked, our population is almost exactly the same as in 2010. (4) Where did you read that Chicago and Ill have the highest tax rates?
    6
  77. Which group? 🤔🤔Hints: Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Buffalo, this video, etc.

  78.  @zoobrizz  "Chicago turned into a cesspool in the past 20 years." HUH?! Dude, you have no idea what you're writing about! So, up until 2001, Chicago was great, then it "turned into a cesspool"? NOOOOOO! Chicago has always had "cesspool" neighborhoods. After W.W. II, things really started to go downhill. The 1960s was absolutely horrible for Chicago, and the 1970s was even worse. The 1980s was another decade of decay (but at a slower pace). The early 1990s saw more homicides than now. Then, in middle 1990s, things started to improve. In fact, during the late 1990s, we were actually being called a boomtown. By 2004 (when Millennium Park opened), Chicago's jealous haters were foaming at the mouth! As for homicide (the bread and butter of Chicago's seething haters), that's nothing new. 1974: 974. 1991: 927. 1992: 940. 1994: 930. By 2004, we had it down to 448, and 2014 was 411 (yet the haters still kept blasting us). Facts: (1) The air is wayyyy cleaner. I've read that the air pollution downtown used to be so bad, that the day would be night, and the lights would actually be on. I remember how buildings like the Field Museum would actually be black. (2) Lake Michigan is way cleaner. (3) The Chicago River is way cleaner. (4) Since 1989, all kinds of stuff has been fixed up. I could go on and on. Here are my credentials: I was born and raised in suburban Chicago, and I visited Chicago often (my grandparents lived in the city, going to museums, sporting events, etc.). I've lived in Chicago proper since 1990. What are your credentials?

  79. Irish Americans don't cruise around with Irish flags.

  80.  @librarynan4610  Tinley Park is a suburb. 🙄🙄
    6
  81. "The never-ending grey & gloomy skies w/ cold temps in the Midwest..." OH, PLEAAASE! 🙄🙄 I live in the Midwest, and we get–over the course of an average year–PLENTY of sunshine. 🙄🙄 As for "temps," it actually gets VERY hot & humid here. 🧐 Stop exaggerating! 🙄😡
    6
  82. "Illinois is the worst." Yeah, at getting one of the very worst deals from D.C. (year after year). It must be awesome to live in a state that's heavily subsidized by D.C. (e.g. New Mexico, Alaska, Mississippi, etc.). Meanwhile, states like Illinois, New Jersey, etc., have to subsidize the more fortunate states.
    6
  83. How do you know? There's plenty of "diversity" in the western suburbs, and even more in the southern suburbs.
    6
  84. Dude, the U.S. is more socialist than ever. 🙄🙄 Is Tokyo communist? 🙄🙄 What Marxist utopia are you from? 🤔 North Korea? 🙄🙄 Cuba? 🙄🙄

  85.  @RedtheCat2014  "I'd love to live in Portugal" Amongst the natives (speaking Portuguese 🇵🇹), or in an English-speaking bubble? 🇬🇧

  87. Exactly. I wonder what percentage of Camden's collective income is from federal subsidies, or state subsidies. 🤔🤔

  88. ​ @shigshug8581  As opposed to what? Marxist Cuba? 🙄🙄

  89.  @clintkaster6269  Sweden must be WAY more capitalist than Cuba. Besides, Sweden still has lots of authentic Swedes.

  97. "...the land white folk stole.." What "white folk" are you writing about? Spaniards?

  98.  @myfriendgoo2816  How much investment do you have in the 'hoods? Where have you invested the most? Detroit? Baltimore? St. Louis? East St. Louis? Memphis? Newark? New Orleans? Cleveland? East Cleveland? K.C.? Philadelphia? Little Rock? Milwaukee? Oakland? Gary? Mobile? Jackson? Camden? Birmingham? Flint? Louisville? Cincinnati? Atlantic City? Buffalo? Or do you simply blame Whitey (as an excuse)? Remember when Magic Johnson invested in movie theaters, and restaurants? P.C. journalists just adored him for bringing life to "disinvested" areas. However, he gave up on theaters after only a decade (and he also got out of the restaurant industry). Well, at least he tried with his own money (vs. expecting Whitey to invest where Whitey isn't even welcome to walk around).
    5
  99.  @mjor6406  "maybe treat people equally..." Does the you-know-who crowd treat people equally? If you were stupid enough to walk around in their "turf," how equally would they treat you? Of course, you're Canadian, so–quite naturally–you would be naïve. For health care, education, "good social support," etc., to thrive, demographics make all the difference in the world (believe it or not). Of course, you're Canadian, so–quite naturally–you're naïve.

  100. Have you ever written such a comment about Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, D.C., K.C., L.A., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, etc.? Do you live in splendid isolation? Do you live in a N.I.M.B.Y town?

  103.  @kifacorea  I studied the social sciences in grade school, junior h.s., and high school. Why study subjects like U.S. history for the FOURTH time?!🙄 Is it really about creating better human beings, or do I detect an ulterior motive (i.e., money)? Hmmm.🤨
    5
  104. "I don't know what's going on with their guidance." I do know: single mothers (duh).🙄 What % are raised by their single grandmothers? What % of today's single mothers were raised by single mothers/grandmothers? What % of that generation were raised by single mothers/grandmothers (and so forth, and so on)?

  110.  @perfectallycromulent  Great weather = lots of homeless people. Los Angeles Homeless Population (last I checked): 65,111 Chicago Homeless Population (last I checked): 3,875 Yeah, bad weather. On the other hand, no hurricanes/tropical storms, no earthquakes, no forrest fires, no brush fires, no mudslides, no shifting hills, no sink holes, no tornadoes, no major flooding, etc.

  111. I live in Chicago, and my neighborhood doesn't look like this at all. Why not? Demographics (duh). It would look even better if not for the postal workers, or the You-Know-Who Crowd visiting the parks (vs. using the parks in their own "turf"). How does Chicago compare to Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, East Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, or Buffalo? 🤔

In Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Buffalo, etc.? Really? Hater, what's so special about crime in Chicago? Don't you even understand what "per capita" means? What state are you from?

  114. "25 + people a weekend die in Chicago" Chicago, 2022* Homicide Count: 695 (not 1300 + weekday homicides). Did you know that last year, New Orleans had a homicide rate that was almost THREE-TIMES worse than Chicago? Did you know that–in 2022– many cities had a homicide rate that was worse/MUCH worse than Chicago's? *For ALL 365 days.

  119. @SwampTrooper2005 How does that excuse tearing down beautiful buildings, then replacing them with massive parking lots, or tall ice-cube trays? How does that excuse all the blandness that's been built in suburbia? After W.W. II, suburbia was extremely prosperous, so why all the cheap/tacky architecture? The two generations before the boomers really could be very cold, robotic, and severe. I can just imagine their rationalizing cliché (accompanied by a shoulder shrug): "Well, that's progress." 🙄

  123. HUH?! Dude, it's not a "bad rap" at all: using per capita rates–vs. raw totals–is just common sense (for those who didn't flunk math). 🙄🙄 "In terms of pure numbers, no one comes close to Chicago!" Dude, Chicago has 2.7 million people. New Orleans: 384 k. St. Louis: 293 k. Last year, New Orleans had a homicide RATE almost THREE-TIMES worse than Chicago's! What state are you from? What's the real reason that you hate Chicago?

  124.  @6j6666  "violent crime rates are statistically higher in red states" OH, GOOD GRIEF! 🙄🙄 Here we go again with that tired cliché! 🙄🙄 (1) States like Louisiana, South Carolina, Alabama, etc. have very difficult demographics. (2) When the South was completely dominated by the Democrats, it was also disproportionately poor. (3) Is New Orleans a Republican stronghold? 🙄🙄 How much of Louisiana's violence is due just to New Orleans? 🧐🤔 (4) Is D.C. a Republican stronghold? 🙄🙄 If D.C. were a state, it would be the most violent state: almost TWICE as bad as Louisiana!

Of course Cubans are less obese: dire food shortages create skinny people. 🙄🙄 "...and environment than the US." How much pollution do Cuba's seventy-year-old cars produce? 🧐🤔🤨 In the U.S., how much of the pollution is because Americans own so many vehicles? 🧐🤔🤨 What percentage of Cubans can't afford anything more than a moped, a bicycle, or a mule? 🧐🤔🤨 Dude, in the U.S., pollution was MUCH worse in the past! 🧐

Knowing that the U.S. has its back, Canada can get away with its notorious, miserly defense spending. Yeah, you're welcome. 🙄🙄

  131. You're from Maryland? Did you know that last year, D.C. had a homicide rate that was worse than Chicago's, or that Baltimore's homicide rate was over TWICE what Chicago's was? Do you follow violence in Chicago more than violence in D.C., or Baltimore?

  132. "...and we're gonna see–quite frankly–a lot of young men who are terrible citizens." HUH?! WAIIIIIIT A MINUTE!🧐 To compare different generations' young men (and what % of them were/are "terrible citizens"), what better way than to compare homicide rates? The worst year in U.S. history was 1991. How did 2024's homicide rate compare to 1991? Was it even HALF as bad?🤔 With regard to being "terrible citizens," young men of the 1960s, '70s, '80s, and '90s offer today's young men very ferocious competition! Yeah, AS IF you boomers don't have lots & lots of skeletons in your collective closet! Okay, boomer!🙄

Okay, so how are Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, and Buffalo doing?  Did you know that last year, New Orleans had a homicide rate that was almost TRIPLE what Chicago had?

Dude, there's over 9 million people living in greater Chicago, and only 24,000 of them live in Harvey. More importantly, Harvey is one of the very worst suburbs in Chicagoland.

  145. "...Chicago has been going downhill since the mid-90s." HUH?! Uh, no. Dude, I moved to Chicago in 1990: those were not the good ol' days at all. Actually, in 1990, Chicago was almost Detroit: Chicago back then was much worse. From 1960-1990 was when Chicago's population dropped. Today, Chicago's population is almost the same as 1990. Chicago was going downhill–fast–in the 1960s, the 1970s, the 1980s. The early 1990s were actually more violent than 2022: yet we had the Bulls, so we were happy enough. The mid-90s was actually when Chicago started to come back: this included the homicide count dropping about 60% by 2014. However, sneaky New York would still pick those hot weekends to say, "Another violent weekend in Chicago." 🙄🙄 Anyhow, by the late 1990s, Chicago was actually super hot. Then, when Millennium Park opened (2004), Chicago's haters started foaming at the mouth with jealousy! Yeah, 2004 was when the Chicago's haters (e.g., New York, L.A., etc.) starting to really pour on the hate (and it's never stopped since).

I used to know a Canadian who lived here too. Despite being in the urban U.S., he was still totally indoctrinated by his p.c., Canadian programing. However, like virtually all other-white liberals, he wasn't so naïve as to actually live in a you-know-who 'hood. For that matter, I totally doubt that he ever set for in their "turf." You know how hypocritical the you-know-who crowd can be. They believe that they should walk around–or even live–anywhere that they please. However, their "turf" is totally off limits to other demography: even for a casual stroll.

  224. Do you have any idea what a dump Chicago was back in 1989 (when Daley II took over)? Before Daley II, Chicago had lost almost 25% of its population. Despite three recessions during the Daley II era (including the Great Recession), by 2011, Chicago was in much better shape. By the end of Johnson's term, do you really think that Chicago will be improved? He hasn't been the mayor during a recession, a time of national rioting, or a pandemic, so what's your excuse? Perhaps you're the one who should be more critical. Being white didn't prevent Chicagoans from being "critical" of Michael Bilandic, Jayne Byrne, or Rahm Emanuel, riiiiiight?

However, over time, the demographics have been changing, and the resulting changes have been all-too predictable. As for Chicago proper, I've been living in the city for the last 35 years. The quality of the 'hoods/neighborhoods is mostly a reflection of demographics. Y' know: pretty much like the U.S. in general.

I remember the Obama celebration in 2008: it was November, yet the weather was perfect.   I remember Christmas, 1982: super warm. I also remember Christmas, 1983: super cold. Translation: unpredictable (just like now). "reread what I wrote." Okay, let's see: "winters have become colder..." OH, PLEASE! 🙄🙄 Yeah, back in the good ol' days, Chicago's winters were so mild! 🙄🙄 Here's something I found about the good ol' days: "There were 12 days below zero in January 1977. December 28 1976 to February 8 1977 has the distinction of being the longest continuous string of sub-freezing weather in Chicago history, 43 days."

  258. "...the culture of fear we're building for ourselves, always stuck in our cars, behind fences, trying to move our families out into the sticks, suspicious of everyone, convinced there's crime everywhere, etc." Exactly! For so many, this must get worse with each generation. They're raised by scared parents, so they grow up scared, they become parents who are even more scared than their parents, etc. With each generation, they move farther out, into "communities" that are even more dominated by vehicles (and even more hostile towards pedestrians). However, in their desperation to escape crime, they move to places that are even more dominated by vehicles, which increases the likelihood that they'll have a serious vehicular accident. Americans can be so scared of crime, yet so oblivious to vehicular danger. Here's another factor: parking. Most Americans just can't get enough of it. 🙄 Here's another factor: ego. Vehicles are ego machines. Many, many people derive enormous ego satisfaction from their vehicles. Using public transportation? That's inherently beneath their high-status selves.

What if housing projects, Section 8, homeless shelters, and cheap apartments were spread out evenly? Here's what would happen: crime in N.I.M.B.Y. suburbs would skyrocket, while crime in cities (e.g., Chicago) would plummet. Therefore, N.I.M.B.Y. suburbs should thank cities (e.g. Chicago) every day for their splendid isolation.

How many homeless shelters are in Kenilworth? How many housing projects are in Glencoe? Last I checked, Central IL. gets $1.87 for every dollar it sends to Springfield, and Southern IL. gets $2.81 for every dollar it sends to Springfield. Nevertheless, they keep acting AS IF they're getting such a bad deal. 🙄🙄 Does Chicago control D.C.? 🙄🙄Every year, D.C. gives Illinois one of the worst deals.

On the other hand, I've never thought to myself, "They're EVERYWHERE!!!" "You can seem [sic] them scurry a [sic] across the street or along the curb at any time of day!" That's not what I've seen. I'd say that 80% of the rats that I've seen have been dusk-to-dawn sightings (especially in alleys). "...anywhere downtown, you're sure to see them."

What state are you from?

  345.  @pandrdoberman  Gary must be the worst place in Indiana. As for Mississippi, last I checked, its homeless rate is the lowest in the U.S. That's not too ironic: more poverty = cheaper housing. Also, it's the 4th-most-rural state. Meanwhile, CA has the highest homeless rate.

  350. (0:30 - 0:37) It's almost a joke to me that he would say something like that, when the R.N.C. held its convention in Milwaukee, which–last year–had a HIGHER per capita homicide rate than Chicago. 🧐🙄 Also, it's almost a joke to me that a senator from Ohio would make such a statement, despite the fact that–last year–Cleveland's homicide rate was almost DOUBLE what Chicago endured! 🧐🙄 Senator, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, right? 🧐🤨
    2
  351. Uh, could the fact that Chicago has the THIRD-BIGGEST POPULATION have a little somethin' t' do with that? 🙄🙄Don't you even understand what "per capita" means?  Meanwhile, many cities are almost as violent, as violent, more violent, or MUCH more violent than Chicago: Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Buffalo, etc. Hater, did you know that last year, New Orleans had a homicide rate that was almost THREE-TIMES WORSE than Chicago's?

  355.  @HeartsOfDarkness  "I understand 'per capita.'" You do? Did you know that last year, New Orleans had a homicide rate that was almost THREE-TIMES WORSE than Chicago's? Hater, does crime in Chicago interest you more than crime in New Orleans, Atlanta, or even Florida? Hater, again: Why is crime in Chicago so special? Have you ever written a mocking comment about crime in Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Buffalo, etc.?

  365. When most Americans see a video about trouble on public transportation, they think, "I'm sure glad that I never take public transportation, and never will." When most Americans see a video about trouble involving vehicles, they think...nothing. (0:17) Should that incident also dampen our enthusiasm for owning vehicles? 🧐🤔

Uh, so the G.O.P. is to blame for New York's woes?🙄🙄 N.Y. has a Democratic mayor, it hasn't had a genuine-Republican mayor since 2001 (i.e., Mike the chameleon doesn't count), and its city council has 45 Democrats (vs. a mere 6 Republicans). Back on 1-1-1994 (i.e., Giuliani's 1st day in office), how did N.Y. compare to N.Y. on 12-31-2001 (i.e., Giuliani's last day as mayor)? How's life in Havana, or Pyongyang?🤔 Perhaps you should emigrate.

  373.  @dallysinghson5569 : "The insinuation being more nonwhites in NYC?" Is Tokyo white? How about Singapore? "Dude even in London festering with migrants we don't see these scratched windows..." Could 691,000 security cameras have a little something to do with that? Hmmm. Of course, back in 2011, London was certainly "festering" with "scratched" windows.

  374.  @halvorsa  Did you know that Springfield gives Central Illinois almost two dollars for every dollar that it pays Springfield (and it gives Southern Illinois almost THREE dollars for every dollar that it pays)? Meanwhile, out of all the housing projects, Section 8, homeless shelters, and SROs in all of Illinois, what % are dumped in Cook County? 90%? One county used as a dumping ground, so that the other 101 counties can live safe & sound.

  377.  @cryptoffilth8711  "It sounds like you agree with me that perhaps not all of Chicago is "'AMAZING?'" Of course I agree with you–big deal. Dude, it's the third-biggest city in the U.S. What else would you expect? Maybe all of Tokyo safe, but urban America is different (e.g., Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, Milwaukee, D.C., K.C., Memphis, Cleveland, Oakland, the Bronx, Albuquerque, etc.). Last year, was rioting unique to Chicago? No. It also happened in Minneapolis, N.Y., L.A., D.C., Philadelphia, Seattle, Portland, etc., right? For that matter, the urban Western Hemisphere is different. In case you didn't notice, nine-out-of-ten cities mentioned in this video are located in the Old World. What percentage of Hanoi is Vietnamese? What percentage of Seoul is Korean? What percentage of Prague is Czech? The fact is, it's much more difficult for hyper-heterogeneous cities (vs. ultra-homogeneous cities like Hanoi, Seoul, Prague, etc.). "It's sad that the people of Chicagoland have accepted that large swaths of their city looks and feels like a war zone" It's sad that the people of America have accepted that large swaths of their country looks and feels like a war zone. Of course, you're not one of those people, right? Okay, so what are you doing (to make violence magically stop across the entire country)? Last year, when large swaths of America looked and felt like war zones, what did you do (to make all those riots magically stop)? Chicagoland = the entire metropolitan area (e.g., Harvey) "their city" = Chicago proper There you go again (mixing up the two). "Are you saying that only the experiences of people who visit the wealthy areas of the city are valid?" Did I not make myself perfectly clear? Judging a city based on a warehouse district is illogical enough, but to judge a city based on one suburb is off-the-charts illogical. Dude, suburbs–like Harvey–govern themselves (duh). "Dude, I'm responding to a post where someone is saying, 'Chicago is AMAZING.'" Are you saying that only the experiences of people who visit warehouse districts and poor suburbs are valid?

  378.  @stoneymcneal  Chicago is the dumping ground for affluent, N.I.M.B.Y. suburbanites. Does that include you? In Barrington, how many housing projects, Section 8, homeless shelters, etc., are there? N.I.M.B.Y. suburbanites live in splendid isolation because other people don't. Are you always so unappreciative? "How much you want to be they came from Chicago proper? You sure don't know the south suburbs, do you? You Know Who is all over Harvey, Hazel Crest, Chicago Heights, Ford Heights, South Holland, Homewood, Flossmoor, Glenwood, Country Club Hills, Matteson, Blue Island, Markham, Calumet City, Crete, Olympia Fields, etc.

Over the years, how many countless times have I heard black people–and p.c., indoctrinated, liberal, hyper-idealistic, pathetically naïve white people–denounce Whitey for trying to move into the "turf" that black people control? Why? Because when Whitey moves in, that's........GENTRIFICATION!🙄 Okay, so if Whitey moves out, that's white flight, which is racism. However, if Whitey moves in, that's gentrification, which is also racist!🙄

For generations, places like Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Newark, Cleveland, East Cleveland, K.C., Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Gary, Camden, Flint, Dearborn, Cincinnati, Paterson, Youngstown, Buffalo, etc, have felt OVERWHELMINGLY DEVASTATED by imports! Do you even care? Or are you too smug?

  397. Dude, we're in 2023: Reagan left office in January of 1989. Wasn't Clinton the President for 8 years? Wasn't Obama the President for 8 years? Isn't Biden the President right now?

Okay, where can I find them?

  405. Thank you. Also, out of the relatively few that do emigrate out of the U.S., what percentage are merely ex-immigrants who–for whatever reason–are moving back to their native country? Yeah, since 1945, how many TRILLIONS have we spent to defend Europe? Also, since 1945, how much have we spent to defend South Korea, or Japan?

Because nobody wants to live there. 🤕 "...and stagnant economy."

  435.  @deloreswilson1798  "There is no heaven here on this earth. Don't think you're above such things." HUH?! I simply wrote that where I live isn't "wild with crime." That's not the same thing as writing that I live in "heaven here on this earth," or that I'm "above such things" (duh). 🙄

  436. Overall, he was. Compare Chicago in 1989 vs. 2011. Before Daley II, Chicago had lost almost 25% of its population. As opposed to who? Jayne Byrne? Holy Harold? Beetlejuice?

What state are you from?

  439. Willowbrook is a suburb.

  443. @Ainsley Woodward Stop exaggerating. Chicago was much, much more polluted in the past. The air, the lake, and the river are all much cleaner today. Also, the stockyards closed 50 years ago.

  447.  @nobodyspecial4702  HUH?! Oh, please! Do you really think that suburbs like Maywood, Bellwood, Harvey, etc. need any "help" when it comes to crime? When it comes to bad behavior, the city and the suburbs have a very reciprocal relationship. Countless times, I've seen some story about some "diverse" suburbanite committing some crime in Chicago.
    2
  448.  @nobodyspecial4702  Okay, so the criminals couldn't possibly have driven in from Maywood, Bellwood, Berkeley, etc.? 🙄🙄 Perhaps you're desperate to pretend that all suburbs are perfect, pristine, N.I.M.B.Y. places. Maybe you need to cruise around Maywood, Bellwood, Berkeley, Cicero, Harvey, Hazel Crest, East Hazel Crest, Chicago Heights, Ford Heights, South Holland, Glenwood, Country Club Hills, Matteson, Blue Island, Markham, Calumet City, Crete, Dixmoor, Dolton, Park Forest, University Park, etc.

  454. Tinley Park is a distant suburb! 🙄🙄 Why bother building in Chicago? Because different neighborhoods have different demographics. Why is my Chicago neighborhood awesome? Demographics (duh). Why invest or build in Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, D.C., K.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, or anywhere else in the "turf" that You Know Who controls?

    2
  464.  @prolific1518  Okay, the Censorship Machine blocked my first reply. Does it ever block lefty comments? Let's see if it simply allows me to show two totals. Chicago's 1995 homicide total: 913. Chicago's 2010 homicide total: 436.

What's the deal where you live? What state are you from?

On the other hand, Winnetka, Kenilworth, Glencoe, Hinsdale, and many other little sisters of Chicago are in Illinois. "...they both are worst." Oh, SHUT UP! Dude, the whole city of Chicago doesn't have the same demographics as Gary.
    2
  476.  @AlvinSeville1  "...but the times I've been there for the most part has been very bad." You're writing about the third-largest city in the U.S. So, what does "there" mean? I've actually lived "there" for the last 33 years, and it's certainly not "very bad" where I live. "I'm sure there are good parts such as..." Uh, so why didn't you only visit the good parts (and stay out of the bad parts)?
    2
  477. Black flight is nothing new either. For generations, black people have been fleeing their own kind, so why should Whitey have a guilt trip? When black people get the dough, they go.

  478.  @emos321  "Im [sic] happy for Detroit." Even though you don't live there? 🤔 "They..." They? Oh, so you don't live in Detroit. 🧐 "...have earned a comeback." And what a comeback: 1,852 people! 🧐🙄

  479. It's because Detroit has already lost almost 2/3rds of its population. 🧐

  480. Before Chicago, there should be videos about Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Buffalo, etc. After all, many cities are more dangerous/much more dangerous than Chicago. Don't you even know what "per capita" means? Last year, Baltimore's homicide rate was over TWICE what Chicago's was, and New Orleans had a homicide rate that was almost THREE-TIMES worse than Chicago's! What state are you from?

  489. How refreshing: someone who takes natural disasters into account. From what I've seen/read, most people give this factor very little/no thought. By contrast, soooooo many people say, "The weather's much better in..." Of course, by "better," they mean warmer. Today, in 2025, how's all that sunnier, "better" weather been affecting L.A.?

  490.  @kruzedarling9347  "Unless you think we are inherently more violent than other nations." Of course the U.S. is inherently more violent than Japan, S. Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, Finland, Denmark, etc. Why? Demographics (duh). 🙄🙄

  491.  @TheOldTapeArchive  "Chicago is in a death spiral..." How do you know? Do you actually live in the city? "That's why you carry if you live there." Well, maybe if you live in the You-Know-Who Crowd's turf. On the other hand, I've lived in Chicago just fine–without even pepper spray–for the last 34 years.

  492.  @yamamancha  "Chicago was always rough, but there's an identifiable point in history when it went '[...]l in a handbasket.'" OH, PLEAAAASE! 🙄🙄You must be too young to remember how incredibly awful Chicago was in the 1970s, or 1980s. In so many ways, Chicago is waaayyy nicer now vs. then. I know what I'm writing about. "It would be difficult to devise a better plan for bringing about urban decay than the various policies Chicago implemented in the 90s." HUH?!😳 Look, I moved to Chicago in 1990, so I know what Chicago was like back then (i.e., much, much, much worse). Don't try to lecture me about the good ol' days.🙄🙄

  497. Do you actually live in Detroit proper? Or are you a suburbanite who claims that it's underrated, even though you've never actually lived there (and never will)?

    2
  499.  @6j6666  "cities are more dangerous than being in the middle of nowhere? Wow you cracked the case sherlock" That depends (Sherlock): I'd feel much safer in Tokyo–the most populated city in the world–than a rural area dominated by the You-Know-Who Crowd.
    2
  500.  @gera2396  Yeah, just like lots & lots of bad things happen in Detroit, Baltimore, New Orleans, St. Louis, or the many other cities that are more violent/much more violent than Chicago. So, have you written comments about other cities as well, or do you single out Chicago (because you hate Chicago with a passion)? Stop dodging the questions (just like all the other Chicago haters that I've confronted).
    2
  501.  @jimmythegentconway8690  First of all, the 2020 census showed that Chicago's population was almost exactly the same as in 1990. Compare that to other Midwestern cities. Second, during the last decade, how many times did I read/hear that Chicago was losing/hemoraging population? However, the 2020 census showed–much to the disappointment of the haters–that Chicago actually gained population during the 2010s. Third, last I checked, 7/10 of the ten-biggest-American cities are losing population. For the top 30, 21 are losing population! Therefore, IF Chicago is indeed losing population, it certainly has plenty of company right now. "...everybody is leaving Chicago..." How do you know? Where do you live? If you don't live in Chicago, then what makes you such an expert? Just because the haters (e.g., New York) keep saying so?
    2
  502.  @naitthegr8131  Operative words: less crime RELATIVE to (the you-know-who crowd). I've spent plenty of time in Mexican neighborhoods (including L.A.). Do I feel as safe in Mexican neighborhoods as white neighborhoods? No. On the the other hand, I feel a BILLION times safer in Mexican neighborhoods than the you-know-who 'hoods. When I was in N.Y., S.F. and Philadelphia, I visited the Chinatowns (and I've been to the Chinatown here–in Chicago–a number of times). If there was any fear of crime in those places, it wasn't because of the locals, but rather the you-know-who crowd from other neighborhoods. As for the international scene, I'd much rather live in Qatar, Bahrain, Israel, Kuwait, Costa Rica, Argentina, Uruguay, etc., than somewhere in sub-Saharan Africa, Haiti, Jamaica, etc. What percentage of Haiti is a gang-infested war zone? Back in 2021, did you see the looting in South Africa? But, of course, if you actually checked your facts....

  515.  @naitthegr8131  And what a city! Last I checked, Tokyo proper has 14 million, and greater Tokyo has 37.5 million! California is the only state with more people than greater Tokyo. How many times have you written about Maine being a sparsely populated, rural area? Is Tokyo rural, or sparsely populated? "Tokyo is a well off city..." To what extent is Tokyo well off because of demographics? How well off was Tokyo back in 1945? Basically, it was a parking lot! However, in 1964, it was already hosting the Summer Olympics! Imagine if the Japanese had bombed Detroit (back in 1945). What do you suppose it would have looked like? Detroit in 2023? "...not a state." How much crime is in rural Japan?

  516.  @naitthegr8131  Of course, demographics isn't responsible for everything. However, demographics is exceptionally influential. We're living in 2023; the Cold War ended in 1991.

  552.  @alexb2417  Did you know that last year, Philadelphia's homicide rate was considerably worse than Chicago's, or that Baltimore's was over TWICE what Chicago's was? Do you follow crime in Chicago more than crime in Philadelphia, Baltimore, D.C., etc.? Where you live, there must not be housing projects, Section 8, homeless shelters, transient hotels, or cheap apartments. We can't all live in splendid isolation, right?

  554. What was Sweden like 50 years ago (when it was more homogeneous)? Back in the 1990s, I read that Sweden was so safe, mothers would walk into a store, yet leave their baby strollers outside–unattended! From what I understand, Norwegian parents still do that! How do you know if Rwanda's crime statistics are accurate? How safe was Rwanda back in 1994 (if y' catch my drift)?

  556.  @davew4930  How safe was the U.S.A. during its Civil War? If you were a soldier, not very–that's war. On the other hand, was it preferable to be a civilian during our C.V., or a Rwandan civilian during their C.V.? As bad as life was for them, I'd much rather have been a Southern civilian back in 1865 (vs. being a Tutsi in 1994). As for Northern civilians, there's absolutely no comparison. Over the last 50 years, how much foreign aid has Rwanda received? Back in 1994, I remember how the p.c. media spun the hi-STORY: the U.S. should have a huge guilt trip! Why? Because our military didn't break up Rwanda's fight! I remember this white, liberal woman telling me that we should have a huge guilt trip. Why? Because our boys didn't prevent Rwandans from killing each other! Of course, she was childless, so why would she care? Norway? The unattended babies would indicate that it hasn't all gone downhill. As for the rest of the country, again: What was it like 50 years ago (when it was more homogeneous)? Now, check this out: Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, D.C., K.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Chattanooga, Birmingham, etc. Care to explain the pattern?

  559.  @naitthegr8131  "So was Chicago in the early 20th century, and Chicago was still dangerous then." My parents grew up in Chicago, and it was very safe. Growing up in the suburbs, we'd often visit the grandparents in the city, and it felt totally safe. Why? The demographics of where they lived. I've lived in Chicago for the last 33 years, and I've felt very safe. Why? The demographics of my neighborhood.

  586. I've lived in Chicago for the last 35 years, and it's been spectacular. Why? Many reasons. Of course, second to none, is the fact that I've never lived in a 'hood with too many of the You-Know-Who Crowd. I grew up in a suburban area that used to be 95% white. Naturally, it was safe, prosperous, organized, etc. Year after year, the You-Know-Who Crowd became more numerous, and the consequences have been all too predictable. "..and live amongst the pale faces where they know they’ll be safer." Yeah, whiny and liberal, p.c. whites always overlook that: Black people are actually much safer is predominantly white areas than they are in 100% black 'hoods (a.k.a. black "turf").

Yeah, I do enjoy life without a vehicle. Unlike about 95% of the U.S., living without a vehicle in Chicago is very easy. Every year, I save a fortune.

When Ryan or Rauner were in office, did crime go up in any neighborhood, suburb, or town with safer demographics (i.e., the demographics NOT found in Austin, Englewood, W. Garfield Park, Riverdale, Harvey, etc.)? Democrats are a factor, but demographics are a much bigger factor. Daley II was a Democrat, yet he had the downtown much, much safer.

First of all, haven't you noticed how affluent blacks–for generations–have been fleeing their own kind? What about black flight? Black people flee their own kind, so why should Whitey have an idealistic guilt trip? How often do you go walking around in the "turf" that the You-Know-Who Crowd controls? Do you actually expect non-blacks to risk their lives merely for idealism? Three times, Mexico-born men have told me of how enraged blacks became because they dared to step foot in a black 'hood. In fact, one of them told me that blacks jumped him, and beat him within an inch of his life! Why? Merely because he had naïvely stepped over the border that separated black turf from Mexican turf. Homeboy, haven't you noticed how shamelessly hypocritical black people can be? They believe that they should be able to walk around–or even live–wherever they want. However, once they gain control, an area becomes their precious "turf," and non-black people must keep out (or else). Homeboy, you're so naïve.🙄 Who indoctrinated you?

Last I checked, Detroit's homicide rate is almost twice what Chicago's is, Baltimore's is more than double, and New Orleans has a homicide rate almost TRIPLE what ours is! Many cities in the U.S. are in worse/much worse shape than Chicago: Memphis, Newark, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, etc. Of course, New York and L.A. don't want the world to know that.

Do you actually acknowledge that in the U.S., during the 20th century, black criminals committed lots and lots and lots and lots of crimes?

  783.  @GorillaMan0606  "I think you're about as delusional as they come. It's not about population change." Now who's being delusional?🙄 "The problem is that the demographic that exited took with it the key elements that provide a thriving environment." Yeah, when black people can't ride of white people's coat tails, decay is only a matter of time. "The absence of said elements is what opens the door to increased crime." For the SECOND TIME, stop with that devil's-advocate cliché!🙄 Dude, don't you see? CRIME CAUSES POVERTY (not just vice versa)! "Therefore, there is a direct correlation between environment and behavior." To what extent is there "a direct correlation between environment, behavior, and demographics? Look at Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, Cleveland, East Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Atlantic City, Nashville, Chattanooga, Richmond, Portsmouth, East Orange, Buffalo, etc. Are you really too naïve to see the pattern? "If I were to remove the plesantries from your environment..." Where my family grew up, we created our own pleasantries: nice lawns, flowers, shoveled walks and driveways, well-pruned trees and bushes, well-trimmed ivy, etc. The vast majority of our neighbors were the same way. What are you? A college professor that lives in an ivory tower? Again, what state are you from? New Hampshire? Minnesota? Wisconsin? Washington? Oregon? Hmmm.

  793. Okay, so if you're "Surviving Chicago," then why haven't you simply moved to some place less violent (e.g., Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, E. St. Louis, Cleveland, Memphis, K.C., Milwaukee, Oakland, New Orleans, Albuquerque, Gary, etc.)? The U.S. is a gigantic nation, so it's not as if you don't have a veritable plethora of options, right? For that matter, it's a huge world, so perhaps you should move to Afghanistan. After all, Chicago is a "war zone" that's "worse than Afghanistan," right? Therefore, if you moved to Afghanistan, you'd be much, much less concerned with "Surviving," right? Wha' d' y' say?

Also, how many blacks have driven their own kind out of the city? I grew up in the suburbs, and city blacks have been moving there for decades. Today, many of the suburbs are majority/mostly black.

As for expenditures, to what extent does Medicaid, Obamacare, public housing, Section 8, SNAP, spend disproportionately for black recipients? In black "turf," what % of the "public funding" is actually subsidies that Whitey has paid for? Are white areas more prosperous because black taxpayers have been subsidizing Whitey? The story of American racism? Uh, like the way so many shamelessly hypocritical black people become absolutely enraged at the mere sight of a non-black person walking/driving around in their precious "turf?" How can black people expect non-blacks to spend/invest their money in their 'hoods? Black people's precious "turf" is off limits for non-black people: so that would keep lots of money, right?🙄

"...I doubt those nomads are waving American flags around..." Even in the U.S., Yankees almost never cruise around with American flags. While in the military, I was overseas for years, and I NEVER saw a Yankee cruising around a host country with an American flag. In fact, I never even saw such a thing on a military base. "...people in other western countries do not like Americans very much." Is that completely fair? Is it bigotry for Yankees to dislike anyone, but vice versa is fine? Do I detect a note of...prejudice (and hypocrisy)?

  908. I've lived in Chicago for the last 33.5 awesome years. What are your credentials? What state are you from? You must not be from Illinois: Joliet is well south of Chicago. 🙄🙄 Have you ever asked such a question about Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Buffalo, etc.? 🤔🤨

To what extent does "culture and religion" merely reflect demographics? If you encountered so many white criminals in Arkansas, then why in the world did you move to an even WHITER state? Isn't that a slight....y' know....incongruity? If you encountered so many white criminals in "90% white towns in Arkansas," and if you really wanted to live somewhere that's much safer, then why didn't you move to a town that's less white?

How do you know? Because you are white? I grew up in a suburban area, and it used to be paradise. Why? Demographics. However, year by year, the You-Know-Who Crowd has been moving in, and the results has been the same as in urban America: more crime, and more decay. "White flight happened long before crime was ever an issue, and in some cases like New York and Chicago the criminal element had majority whites, since the first mobs and street gangs had whites, long before blacks involved were ever thought of." Despite the white "mobs," Chicago's population increased by 25% in the 1920s, and New York's increased by 23.3%. "But let's not let facts and 20th Century American history get in the way of your racist lies and excuses." You're from the U.S., right? Have you ever considered emigrating to another country? If white people are the cause of black people's problems, why not emigrate to an all-black nation? Problems solved, right?🙃

  972. "Poverty is what leads to crime..." The relationship between crime and poverty is reciprocal: crime leads to poverty. "...and the country is designed for non-whites to be born and raised into poverty." Last I checked, per capita income is higher for Asians than for whites in the U.S. As for Latinos, why have so many moved to the U.S.?

  973. Illinois would be much, much better if not for D.C. For as long as I've been following it (i.e., since 1980), D.C. has been giving Illinois one of the very worst deals. Last I checked, D.C. was giving Illinois the 46th-best deal. 😡😡

Okay, where can I find them?

  994.  @tugggs27  "what does Chicago's homicide frequency have to do with my ego or feeling superior?" You were being snide (which feeds the ego). "What does it have to do with where I live?" Your ego (i.e., seeing Chicago as inferior makes you feel superior). "I live in freedom Florida..." Really? Then why do you "care" about violence in Chicago? Your ego? "...how bout you?" Illinois (duh). "I made a comment about the crime in Chicago on a YouTube video about CHICAGO." The video was about a festival in Chicago (which said nothing about crime). Why did I click it on? Because I actually live in Chicago. Why did you click it on? Your ego? "Numbers are high in case your [sic] deaf and blind." The numbers are also high in Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, E. St. Louis, Oakland, Milwaukee, Memphis, Albuquerque, K.C., D.C., Little Rock, Cleveland, New Orleans, etc. (in case you are deaf and blind). Again, have you ever written anything snide about Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, etc.? Of course, feeling superior to those cities is easier–so your ego wouldn't compel you as much.
    1
  995.  @tugggs27  "people aren't going to a festival in Detroit, Baltimore, Oakland, Milwaukee or any other liberal..." They wouldn't? The very idea is laughable? Why? Since 2005, concertgoers–from far and wide–have been "going to a festival" in Chicago. Is Chicago that much better? No wonder that Chicago has so many haters (e.g., tugggs27). "...or i woulda pointed out the same failed policies there." Baloney. You haven't "pointed out the same failed policies there" because your ego. "I can click on whatever..." Dude, it's not about your rights–it's about your ulterior motives.

Uh, BUDDY, I spe-ci-fi-cal-ly wrote "federal income tax," riiiiiiiight?!🙄 Last I checked, only 15.7% of total taxes (i.e., federal, state, and local) are consumption taxes. When people on welfare "pay" a sales tax, should we feel sorry for them? Last I checked, only 0.22% of total consumer expenditures are for bank fees.🙄 If you include taxes, they're only 0.17%. Predatory loan fees? We all have to look out for slick cats. As for wealth, why do so many people have little/no net worth? Are they all....all....all...wait for it...all...VICTIMS? Or do factors like alcohol, pot, hard drugs, wasteful spending, wasteful use of time, not studying, not working hard, not saving, not investing, etc., very often involved? What % of spending for Medicaid, Medicare, Obamacare, housing projects, Section 8, SNAP, SSDI, EITC, UI, CTC, etc., goes to the bottom 50%? In cities, suburbs, and towns with many poor people, what % of the local-government budgets is derived from state & federal subsidies? In some cases, outside subsidies are the majority of their budgets.

Or has it been Nigeria, Liberia, Uganda, Kenya, Haiti, etc.? "...housing discrimination..." Are you opposed to all forms of housing discrimination? For example, in much of the U.S., there are neighborhoods that are off limits for everyone but the you-know-who crowd. Why? Because hypocritical racists have the attitude that only their demographic group is allowed in their "turf." "Education IS key..." What countries have the best students? Singapore? South Korea? Japan? China? Taiwan? How can cities like Detroit, Cleveland, Milwaukee, etc., compete even though so many urban students drop out?

"The neighborhoods off limits to 'you know who' was..." No, the other way around: the 'hoods that hypocritical, racist, You Know Who dominates. You Know Who believes that he should be able to walk around–or even live–wherever he wants. However, once he establishes someplace as his "turf," he suddenly believes that all other races are prohibited from entering. How's that for hypocrisy? You Know Who wants his 'hoods to be prosperous, yet he bars 87% of the population from entering them–brilliant! "Education is key..." What demographic group studies the least? What demographic group drops out the most? "Go back to your alt-right sewer..." For the SECOND TIME: I've lived the last 33 years in Chicago proper. Ultra-liberal Lori Lightfoot has been our mayor, and we just elected another black mayor.

  1009.  @naitthegr8131  You wrote that "Education IS key," right? Where have students been acting like "education IS key" the most? Singapore, South Korea, Japan, China, Taiwan, etc. Do you see the demographic pattern? Is it any wonder that their manufacturers have succeeded so much? Meanwhile, here in the U.S., what demographic group has been acting like "education IS key" the most? Once again, it's been Asian students. The least? Hint: a certain demographic group that's very common in our "former industrial centers."

  1017.  @AuroraBoarder1  "I check out all of them." Really? Have you also written snide comments about "all of them" as well? Or are you one of the sheeple that keeps singling out Chicago (even for incidents that didn't happen in Chicago): just like New York and L.A. program the sheeple to think. Do you actually trust the media? Are you familiar with the rumors about 9-11?

  1018.  @richardschaefer3889  "Why would I check out anywhere else?" Because many cities are more violent/much more violent than Chicago (despite what New York and L.A. would have you believe). Don't you even know what "per capita" means? For example, last year, Detroit's homicide rate was almost twice as bad as Chicago's, Baltimore's was more than double, and New Orleans had a homicide rate that was almost TRIPLE what Chicago's 2022 rate was!

Does that mean you have no credentials? Here are mine: I was born & raised in suburban Chicago, and I've lived in the city for the last 33.5 years. "Don't care enough about Chicago to hate it." Uh, your nickname for Chicago is...NOT...hateful? 🙄🙄 "I just have a hard time understanding why people there want to shoot and kill each other so much." Really? Don't you also wonder about Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Buffalo, etc.? 🧐🤔 Oh Jeremy, don't you see the pattern? 🙄🙄Are you really that naïve (even if you are from Arizona)? 🙄🙄 "...I don't have nicknames for all those places you listed." Really? Why do you single out Chicago? Because New York & L.A. have programed you to think that way? 🤔🤨 "Chicago is in the news all the time..." Of course it is: New York controls the national media–duh! 🙄🙄 Don't you see the ulterior motives? Or are you too naïve? "...toddlers who live in Chicago have a good chance of having bullet scars if the are able to make it past 5." Does your heart bleed just as much for "toddlers" in Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Buffalo, etc.? Oh Jeremy, don't you even know what "per capita" means? For example, in 2022, New Orleans had a homicide rate that was almost THREE-TIMES WORSE than Chicago's! How often have you seen the media talk about violence in New Orleans? Have you ever written anything snide about New Orleans? 🤔🤨If not, are you going to? 🤔🤨 "Supposedly there are still nice parts of Chicago..." Yeah, I can vouch for that (e.g., the neighborhood that I've been living in for almost 30 years). Why is my neighborhood so nice? Demographics (duh). "...I can drive through the worst parts of Phoenix without a care in the world." Uh, how many Americans were injured/killed by vehicular accidents last year? 🙄🙄 Oh Jeremy, don't you see? Phoenix has much easier demographics. Compare the demographics in Phoenix to New Orleans, Baltimore, Detroit, Memphis, Philadelphia, etc. Perhaps then you'll be less naïve. 🙃🤓 "[Vulgar] just rolls of the tongue naturally."

What exactly is it that you want? How invested are you in a black 'hood? What do you own? A gas station in Detroit? Do you work at it (even at night)? I remember when Magic Johnson started to invest in movie theaters, and restaurants: bringing life to "urban communities." Of course, p.c. journalists were so adoring! However, he gave up on movie theaters after only ten years, and he also sold all his restaurant ventures. Well, at least he tried with his own money (vs. passing the buck to Whitey).

"No guns is a blessing not a curse." You write like somebody who's always lived in splendid isolation.

Then, when vehicles would swerve around them, the pedestrians would curse at them as they drove away. Pff', selfish pigs! What did those jerks all have in common? Predictable demographics. "I know what U.S. inner cities are like." Why do you suppose that U.S. cities compare so poorly to cities like Tokyo? Demographics? Hmmm. "The places outside the US where I have lived are safe for a number of reasons, but one main factor is no guns." Could demographics be an even bigger reason? Hmmm. In a city like Tokyo, who needs a gun? In a city like Detroit, who doesn't need a gun? "However, once you live outside the states in a country that does not permit gun ownership..." Like Switzerland? Just kidding.

Also, pegging their currency, industrial espionage, stealing I.P., bribing American retailers, etc. "...they're not coming back." How about we at least fight to preserve what we have left? The U.S. isn't Monaco: We have to manufacture tangible items. "The real path forward is through research, innovation, and becoming the global hub for science, clean energy, biotech, AI, and next-gen manufacturing." I remember reading that all the way back in 1980–more spending on research & development is what's needed most!🙄 How's that been working? In 1980, the U.S. had about 30% of the world's industrial capacity. Today? About half that. Why should we keep following people like you, yet expect different results? More innovation is the answer? So we do the research and innovation, then China comes in–and steals it? Or we develop something, then use foreign factories for 90-100% of the production? We should import the vast majority of what we invent (like Apple)? Yeah, great for a few (e.g., those that work at Apple's headquarters), yet horrible for our trade deficit. Clean energy? Like those feel-good ads during Obama's 1st campaign? Eight years later, I remember seeing an ad for Hillary Clinton. Once again, windmills were featured.🙄  Biotech? I've been hearing/reading about how it's the "next-big thing" since the 1970s. I've never heard/read of one place in the U.S. that's thriving due to biotech. Are you sure that you don't live in an ivory tower? We haven't had a trade surplus since 1975. Last year, our goods deficit was $1.2 TRILLION (and our total deficit was $918.4 BILLION)! Why? Because Biden hadn't been thinking enough like you? "We're losing the future." Back in the 1970s, many Americans were looking at the growing popularity of imports, and thinking the same thing–they were right.

Unless there's something too awful to ignore (e.g., the 2020 riots), they'll downplay Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, Memphis, New Orleans, etc., while gleefully covering "bad" news from Chicago. Of course, these sneaky, cunning, conniving devils are just pretending to be outraged. Deep down, they absolutely LOVE any such news out of Chicago.

  1100.  @seamusesparza1943  OH, PLEAAASE! 🙄🙄 (1) The You-Know-Who Crowd was destroying the urban U.S. before deindustrialization (e.g., Watts in 1965, Newark & Detroit in 1967). (2) D.C. is the most white collar, recession proof city in the U.S., and it's had–for generations–horrendous violence. Could demographics having something to do with that? (3) Those young, liberal baby boomers were buying lots of imports long before Reagan became the president. (4) Reagan hasn't been the president since January, 1989. Dude, we're living in 2024! 🙄🙄

  1101.  @seamusesparza1943  In the 1960s, U.S. industry was thriving, yet the You-Know-Who Crowd was still destroying urban America (e.g., Watts in 1965, Newark & Detroit in 1967). Reagan hasn't been the president since January, 1988. Dude, we're in 2024! 🙄🙄

  1102. Not with regard to federal spending. For as long as I remember (i.e., 1980), Illinois has been receiving one of the very worst deals from D.C. Last I checked, D.C. is giving Illinois the 46th-best deal. 😡😡

How in the world do you know how much "crimes often don't get reported" in Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Compton, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Buffalo, or any other city?  Why did you single out Chicago as an example?

  1107. Yeah, New Mexico should feel great–it's massively subsidized by D.C. (while Illinois pays more than it receives). That's nothing new: I remember hearing that D.C. gave Illinois the 49th best deal back in 1980. https://smartasset.com/taxes/states-most-dependent-on-the-federal-government-2020 https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/federal-aid-by-state

  1108. "Just moved to Taos, New Mexico..." Uh, so, you're comparing a town in rural New Mexico–with only 5,929 people–to a city with 2.7 million people (in a metropolitan area with 9.5 million)? Wouldn't Chicago vs. Albuquerque be a little more apt? "Chicago is highly taxed..." Naturally. We send more money to Springfield than we get back, and we're in Illinois–a state that pays D.C. more than it receives (vs. New Mexico, the most heavily subsidized state in the country). "crime ridden..." Hey, LOOK (at neighborhoodscout.com, 100 Most Dangerous Cities, 2021)! Albuquerque: 21st most violent Chicago: 73rd most violent Headline (6-25-21): "Albuquerque on pace to break homicide record this year" Headline: "Albuquerque had more homicides in 2019 than any other year in the city's history." "polluted..." Uh, well, is that not be expected? Again, Taos only has 5,929 people (vs. 9.5 million people). Besides, Chicago borders heavily industrialized, northwest Indiana. We can't all live in splendid isolation; we can't all live far from airports, factories, etc. You think Chicago is polluted now? Holy cow, you should've seen the air, lake, and river pollution back in 1970! Chicago is much, much less polluted today. "intolerable weather..." Intolerable weather? Uh, like wildfire weather (e.g., Little Bear in 2012, Las Conchas in 2011, etc.)?

You not understanding the quotation marks makes you look ignorant. 🙄🙄 Besides, the You-Know-Who Crowd often sees non-black Hispanics as whites. For example, I used to know a Puerto Rican woman who grew up in New York, and she would say how the bl_ _ _s would refer to her as "the white girl" (even though she was mixed).

  1111.  @henryjohnson7083  "...near every neighborhood is integrated..." I don't know about Philadelphia, but here in Chicago, in You Know Who's "turf," that's not the case at all. If they see a person of another race, they become absolutely enraged! Meanwhile, they demand the right to walk around–or even live–wherever they want. Ugh, what hypocrisy! 🙄😠 I've seen videos (e.g., Nick Johnson), where whites are driving around in You Know Who's "turf." When the locals see the outsider, they start cursing at him to get out. What's the deal? 🤨 Why is their "turf" so precious? 🤨How can they be so shamelessly hypocritical? 😡 "...even the majority white neighborhoods." What's that supposed to mean? 🤨Whites are the most tolerant of other races walking around–or even living–in their neighborhoods. Compare white neighborhoods to You Know Who's "turf," which is off limits to other races. "bruh look up the statistics... "Blacks make up 3.4 to 8%(at most) of this neighborhood" Without you telling me what "this neighborhood" is, how am I supposed to look up the statistics? 🙄🙄 Why are you guessing?

  1238. First of all, for generations, D.C. has been giving Illinois one of the very WORST deals! 🧐😡 What state are you from? 🤔🤨 Also, compared to its suburbs, Chicago's property taxes are–last I checked–relatively low. Here's a quote that I found (1-9-23):  "The property tax rates for the city of Chicago vary depending on location but average around 6.697% for a single-family home. Your property tax bill will likely be between $2,500 and $6,388, but could be higher or lower depending on where in the city you reside. "The suburbs surrounding Chicago have much higher rates on average, varying between 9.938% and 13.068%. On average, residents pay between $5,981 and $7,538 in property taxes."

  1243.  @cryptoffilth8711  "...why do you feel so butt-hurt?" Actually, I've rather enjoyed debating you (particularly the last time). Didn't I already tell you not to project? Why do you feel so hurt? Because you're from the Old World (i.e., you need to feel superior to me)? "I lived in Italy and never heard anyone defending Rome, or Florence, or Siena, or anywhere else in Italy for that matter." First of all, Italy isn't the U.S., right? There are about 332 million Americans, and they own over 400 million firearms! What percentage of Italians own a firearm? Only 5%? Also, Italy has different demographics, right? Second, when you were in Rome, did you ever hear a visitor bashing Rome due to some place that was actually NOT even in Rome (or simply because of a warehouse district in Rome)? "No, Chicago is a dangerous dirty city..." Chicago's dirt and violence varies enormously (from one neighborhood to another). Again, did you not watch the video? "...the BLM riots..." Okay, for the SECOND TIME: the BLM riots were NOT unique to Chicago, right? "...calls for defunding the police..." First, Chicago is an ultra-heterogeneous city (with 2.7 million people). Therefore, you're going to get all types of opinions, right? Second, that opinion was hardly unique to Chicago, right? Third, this is 2021, right? Chicago's coffers aren't the only ones that are strained right now, right?

  1256. Thank you. I've wondered about that. Those of us who aren't naïve can see something: New York & L.A. are totally in cahoots. I can just imagine it: L.A. creates endless propaganda movies & T.V. shows that make New York look like a utopia. In return, New York (i.e., the national media) goes along with the propaganda about L.A. being so safe. Hmmm.

  1258.  @naitthegr8131  "it's a sparsely populated rural area..." Is Tokyo a sparsely populated, rural area? "...without much poverty..." The relationship between poverty and crime is reciprocal: enough crime will inevitably create more poverty.

  1259.  @naitthegr8131  "Is Tokyo a blighted inner city area...?" Tokyo is super safe, squeaky clean, organized, efficient, prosperous, etc. So, no: it's not a blighted, inner-city area (despite W.W. II turning it into a parking lot). What are Tokyo's demographics? By contrast, you'll find plenty of blight and crime in Detroit, Baltimore, Oakland, Memphis, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Newark, New Orleans, Cleveland, D.C., K.C., Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Little Rock, Mobile, Birmingham, Gary, Camden, etc. What are the demographics in these crime-infested cities?

  1260.  @naitthegr8131  "...that was a rhetorical question to your question, idiot." Homeboy, my question was rhetorical too–idiot! Yeah, no kidding: it was a rhetorical question. So? Are there strict rules about how people must respond to a rhetorical question? Of course, the question is purely rhetorical. "Tokyo is a wealthy city..." Could demographics have something to do with that? Of course, the question is purely rhetorical. "...that was helped by the west after world war 2..." World War II ended in 1945 (when Tokyo was reduced to a parking lot). In the year 2023, how much does post-war aid have to do with what Tokyo is like now? Of course, the question is purely rhetorical. "As for the U.S. cities that you mentioned, [...], they were founded and mostly white cities until after world war 2...." When those cities were mostly white, how much more prosperous were they? Of course, the question is purely rhetorical. "...with the rise of suburbia..." Was the high-crime rate among a certain demographic a major reason why so many urban whites fled to suburbia? Of course, the question is purely rhetorical. "...systematic housing discrimination..." With regard to housing, there's a certain demographic group that believes that it should be allowed to live wherever it wants. On the other hand, among this same demographic group, very many believe that other races must not even set foot in their "turf." Is that flagrant hypocrisy–and discrimination–ethical? Of course, the question is purely rhetorical. "...decline and outsourcing of industries..." Could demographics be a major reason why nations like China, Japan, Korea, and Taiwan have been so tough to compete with? Of course, the question is purely rhetorical.

  1266.  @jobradovich_0133  "Japan is rich because of a culture of hard work..." To what extent is culture merely a reflection of demographics? "...also having their economy propped up by the US post-WW2 helped..." Being heavily bombed by the U.S. certainly didn't prop up Japan, right? Also, fighting China, the U.K., the U.S.S.R., Australia, etc., certainly didn't prop 'em up either, correct? "Haiti is poor largely because of disease, natural disasters..." OH, PLEASE! "...and political instability..." Yeah, and whose fault is that? "...in the aftermath of world war 2..." What does W.W. II have to do with Haiti? Was Port-au-Prince ever bombed during W.W. II? 🙄🙄 "...the effects of which still remain today." HUH?! Even if Haiti had been bombed during W.W. II, you're writing about a war that ended in 1945! Dude, we're in 2023! 🙄 In 1945, Tokyo was basically a parking lot. However, by 1964, it was already hosting the Summer Olympics–amazing! "The latter case has little to do, if any, with demographics." Oh jobradovich, you're so naïve.

Okay, for the second time: What about black flight? 🤔🤨 Black people flee their own kind, so why should white people have a guilt trip? 🤔🤨 "...and Red Lining..." Yeah, AS IF black people haven't been "Red Lining" around their "turf" for GENERATIONS! 🙄🙄 Tell me something: Why do black people become so enraged just because they see a non-black person in their precious territory? 🤔🤨 "...no investment in minority communities..." OH, PLEAAASE! 🙄🙄 How in the world do you expect Whitey to invest in your community? Whitey can't even walk around in your community! 🙄🙄 Oh, I see: Whitey, invest in our community, but don't you dare ever set foot in our community! 🙄🙄

Here's a radical idea: Let's see black people start to welcome the 88% (i.e., non-black Americans) into their communities (vs. becoming enraged just because they see a non-black person in their precious "turf").

Do all the different demographic groups soak up tax dollars via Medicaid, Obamacare, housing projects, Section 8, SNAP, etc., at an equal rate (which leaves less money for upkeep)? No way! Neighborhoods get better when Whitey moves back? Hmmm, could that have something to do with white people investing in their own areas, and with the areas generating more tax revenue?🤔 Politicians let 'hoods run down, or the residents of the 'hoods don't work enough to maintain areas that whites originally built up?

Mind you, the 2020 Census was almost exactly the same as the 1990 Census (i.e., the year I moved from boring, anti-pedestrian suburbia to Chicago). Are you from a rural area, or a N.I.M.B.Y. suburb? What state are you from?

  1323. Okay, N.I.M.B.Y.! 🙄🙄 In your town, how many housing projects, homeless shelters, transient hotels, cheap apartments, and cheap houses are there? 🧐🤔🤔 How much Section 8 is there? 🧐🤔🤔 We can't all live in splendid isolation, right N.I.M.B.Y.? 🤨 Yeah, AS IF suburbanites/rural people are never injured/killed in vehicular accidents! 🙄🙄 Did you see that recent, horrific auto accident in affluent, "perfectly safe" Glenview? One dead, three injured, one car actually SPLIT IN HALF! 🙄 Wow, that sure makes me feel safe: I live in one of the very few places in the entire U.S. where living without a car is super easy. 🙃

(10:55) What Mr. Slick Lawyer didn't mention is that out of the 10.25 cents for sales tax, Springfield gets 6.25 cents, Cook County–where lots of suburbanites live–receives 1.75 cents, and the R.T.A (i.e., public transportation that also serves suburbia) get 1 cent. This leaves a mere 1.25 cents exclusively for Chicago (despite Chicago being a dumping ground for housing projects, Section 8, homeless shelters, cheap apartments, etc.). Our sales tax for groceries is 2.25% (big deal). 🙄🙄 Our regular sales tax is not 25%! 🙄🙄 Dude, get your facts straight! 😡😡

  1346. Why are you trying to single out Chicago? Just because N.Y. and L.A. bash it so much? Are you from California? Why be "flabbergasted" about Chicago and IL? Because you WANT to be critical? Hmmm. Last I checked, Detroit's homicide rate is almost double what Chicago's is, Baltimore's is more than double, and New Orleans has a homicide rate that is almost....TRIPLE what Chicago's is! Therefore, shouldn't New Orleans be the city to single out?  What's your ulterior motive? Hmmm.

The two cities that are in cahoots (i.e., N.Y. and L.A.)? D.C. has quite a reputation for corruption as well.

  1363. How many housing projects are in Oak Park? In Oak Park, how much Section 8 is there? What about homeless shelters, SROs, cheap houses, or cheap apartments? Are cities supposed to be dumping grounds for all the riffraff? Are all suburbanites entitled to live in splendid, N.I.M.B.Y. isolation? In Oak Park, are they still practicing racial steering (and getting away with it)?

  1364. Many Chicago neighborhoods are awesome. Meanwhile, plenty of suburbs are places where you shouldn't wear expensive jewelry: Harvey, Hazel Crest, East Hazel Crest, Chicago Heights, Ford Heights, South Holland, Homewood, Glenwood, Country Club Hills, Matteson, Blue Island, Markham, Calumet City, Crete, Dixmoor, Dolton, Park Forest, University Park, Maywood, Bellwood, Berkeley, Cicero, etc. How do you know where the criminals came from? Imagine if N.I.M.B.Y. suburbs had to deal with housing projects, Section 8, homeless shelters, or cheap apartments as much as Chicago. Here's what would happen: crime in Chicago would plummet, while crime in N.I.M.B.Y. towns would absolutely skyrocket!

During the 1960s, the young baby boomers were acting extremely decadent and hedonistic. Crime started to skyrocket in the 1960s.  Besides, the You-Know-Who Crowd has been destroying urban America for generations. Nevertheless, under Daley II, downtown Chicago improved spectacularly. Do you actually believe that some revival will convince the You-Know-Who Crowd to act civilized? Please tell me that you're not that naïve.

Does crime in Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Atlanta, Buffalo, etc., interest you just as much? Or are you one of those types that loves to act AS IF crime is unique to Chicago? Do you even understand what "per capita" means? What state are you from?

  1396. (0:20) Surprise, surprise. 🙄🙄

  1397.  @naithngr81-jh2bb  So if there's lots of crime in Detroit, it's the fault of the state (vs. the people who actually live in Detroit)? Last I checked, the governors of Michigan, Maryland, Illinois, and New Jersey are Democrats.🧐🙄

  1398. Dude, I've lived in Chicago for the last 35 years. No, the whole city isn't like Gary (despite what New York and L.A. would have you believe). Why are some Chicago neighborhoods much safer than others? It's like the U.S. in general–demographics.

  1399.  @MutarFuqueer  Wrong! Downstate receives $2.81 from Springfield (for every dollar it sends to Springfield). How much tourism revenue has East St. Louis been bringing in? How much convention revenue has Cairo been bringing in?

  1400.  @annwilliams6438  OH, PLEAAASE! 🙄🙄 Detroit has been a Republican stronghold? Detroit hasn't had a Republican mayor since 1-2-1962.  Actually, this is the deal: no preferable demographics, no infrastructure (or safety, prosperity, tranquility, etc.).

  1401.  @Knightmessenger  Pollution was a big factor: it was much worse in the past. Also, changing demographics, rising crime (including destructive riots), closing factories, less parking, etc.

  1402.  @Knightmessenger  "weren't all of these true everywhere, not just in North America?" HUH?! Uh, dude, cities "everywhere" haven't been evolving/devolving the same as in N.A. For example, have Tokyo, Seoul, Beijing, Honk Kong, Singapore, etc. been experiencing as much demographic change–or been dealing with crime–as much as the urban U.S.? Uh, no.

  1405. (8:06) "Chicago runs Illinois." OH, GOOD GRIEF! HERE WE GO AGAIN! 🙄🙄 Southern Illinois receives $2.81 for every dollar that it sends to Springfield, and Central Illinois receives $1.87 for every dollar that it sends to Springfield. Says who? Southern Illinois University. If "Chicago runs Illinois," then why does Cook County only receive 90 cents back from Springfield? 🤔🤔 If "Chicago runs Illinois," then why aren't the housing projects, Section 8, homeless shelters, and cheap apartments spread out evenly across the entire state? 🤔🤔Why do so many people in rural America–and N.I.M.B.Y. suburbs–live in splendid isolation? Because decent, law-abiding taxpayers in urban America (e.g., JdeC1994) don't. 😡😡 Dude, get your facts straight! 😡😡

  1455. @ Well, I managed to thrive in this age (despite following the baby boomers), so I suppose that I would've thrived during any American age. After all, the boomers are the first American generation to leave less opportunity for future generations. During the Gilded Age, immigrants were pouring into the U.S. by the millions. The opportunity to thrive in the U.S. must've been considerably greater than in Europe, right? I've read that tariffs were high during that generally prosperous era. In those days, what % of America's consumption was for domestic products? 90%? Fifty, sixty, and seventy years ago, the American middle class was thriving much more. Nothing ironic about that. In those days, Americans were still producing most of what they consumed.

  1475. I've lived in Chicago for the last 33 years, and I've always felt safe. Why? The demographics of my neighborhood. Growing up in the suburban Chicago, we'd often visit our grandparents in the city, and it always felt totally safe. Why? Because where they lived, the demographics were totally different from you-know-who 'hoods. Why did you pick Chicago? Many places are more violent than Chicago (despite what New York and L.A. would have you believe). For example, last I checked, Detroit's homicide rate is almost DOUBLE what Chicago's is. Baltimore? Their homicide rate is MORE than double what Chicago's is. Don't you know what "per capita" means?

  1476.  @naitthegr8131  You-know-who 'hoods: Detroit, Baltimore, Oakland, Memphis, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Newark, New Orleans, Cleveland, D.C., K.C., Philadelphia, Milwaukee, Little Rock, Birmingham, Mobile, Camden, Gary, etc. How much more evidence do you need? In the past (on a P.B.S. program), I saw old people describe life in Chicago during the 1920s: they described it as very safe. For people who weren't involved with gangsters, how much was there to worry about? In the 1920s, Chicago's population increased 23.6%. If Chicago was so scary for "civilians," how did that happen?

For example, look at how China's crooked politicians–and businessmen–have used prison labor, industrial espionage, stealing I.P., pegging their currency, bribing American retailers, etc. to reap massive, perpetual trade surpluses with the U.S. "So now explain how your statement has to do with my original statement."

  1561. "I've been living abroad for 12 years now..." Okay, that begs a question: In the last 12 years, what percentage of your spending was fueled by mighty American dollars? Good grief, Americans will make videos/write comments about how much better life is in a country like Portugal. Yeah, good for them–they have dollars! However, what about the Portuguese themselves? Not that long ago, I saw a video about how many Portuguese transplants were seeking greater opportunity in....Angola! I hope that you're not comparing apples to oranges.

Did you know that many cities are have homicide RATES that are as bad/worse/much worse than Chicago's? Think about it: Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, D.C., K.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Buffalo, etc.

  1568.  @rgg7174  "It's the [...] of Illinois." Uh, ever heard of E. St. Louis? Rockford? Harvey? Cairo? "If it fell off the map tomorrow the rest of Illinois would flourish." If Chicago went away, would Illinois' tourism industry actually "flourish" more? Really? How about conventions? Uh, ever heard of "McCormick Place"? How many suburbanites commute to Chicago for work? No, actually, Chicago would flourish much, much more (if it didn't have to deal with such a disproportionate share of Illinois' not-in-my-backyard stuff). How many housing projects are in Winnetka? How much Section 8 is in Kenilworth? How much Section 8 is in your town?  You detest violence in Chicago? Okay, here's an idea: every town in Illinois takes on its per capita share of housing projects, Section 8, etc. Wha' d' y' say? Just imagine how much crime in Chicago would plummet (and how much it would soar in places like Winnetka, Kenilworth, Glen Ellyn, rural Illinois, etc.). "Stealing and wasting all of Illinois resources." Source? Here's mine: Belleville News-Democrat (Joseph Bustos, 9-7-18, "Chicago gets most of the state money, right? Think again, according to a new study") "A popular belief is that when it comes to state funding, Chicago gets all the public money. But, a recent study found, that downstate counties, for the most part, get back more than what they send to Springfield. "...Chicago only gets 80 cents for every dollar it puts in." SIU News (Pete Rosenbery, 8-10-18, Simon Institute research shows state funding disparities benefit downstate) "The research shows the south region receives $2.81 in state funds for every $1 dollar generated. The Central Illinois region of 50 counties receives $1.87 for every $1.00 sent to Springfield." "Sounds like you're the one feeling superior." What specifically are you referring to? Don't project. What are your credentials? Here are mine: I was born and raised in suburban Chicago, and I've lived in Chicago for the last 31 years. Okay, so, if Chicago is the "last place on earth" that you would visit, then how on earth do you know better than me?

  1569.  @rgg7174  "With all your credentials and facts..." Where are your credentials and facts? "In the end you would be begging us back." Why? What would we miss? If Springfield is subsidizing southern & central Illinois (while only giving Chicago 80 cents back), then how are we getting the better deal? Again, where are your facts? "You superior Chicagoans can't manage anything." Really? Do you remember how much worse Chicago was back in 1970, or 1980, or 1990? Unlike you, I do. Again, it would sure help if Chicago was only dealing with its proportionate share of housing projects, Section 8, etc. Again, how much Section 8 is in your town? Are there any housing projects near you? How about transient hotels? If southern Illinois, or central Illinois is so much better at management, then why does Springfield need to subsidize them so much (while only giving Chicago 80 cents back)? "The state of your city and our state are proof." You don't get it. The problem isn't Chicago–it's D.C. For as long as I can remember (1980), D.C. has been giving Illinois one of the worst deals. Meanwhile, D.C. has been massively subsidizing other states (e.g., New Mexico). Not only does this drain money from Illinois, it also makes it harder for Illinois to compete with other states. This leads to taxpayers leaving Illinois, which leads to less revenue for Springfield, etc., etc., etc.

After Daley II took over in 1989, year after year, the downtown got better. By the time Daley II left (in 2011), downtown Chicago was wayyyyyy nicer! Daley II protected the downtown.

Because as a suburban youth, I was almost killed MANY times by vehicles while riding my bike. Growing up, I was WAY too daring as a cyclist (from an early age). Here in Chicago, I've lived 35 years without a vehicle. Last year, how many Americans were killed/injured by vehicular collisions, road-rage incidents, etc.? Do you even care? When you're in a vehicle, do you feel 99.99% invincible? What state are you from? Are you from a rural area, or a N.I.M.B.Y. suburb?

  1680.  @pcapran3866  "And Illinois. A couple blue dots has led us to the bottom." Wrong. Central Illinois gets $1.87 for every dollar it sends to Springfield, and Southern Illinois gets $2.81 for every dollar. Also, Chicago is the N.I.M.B.Y. crowd's dumping ground: housing projects, Section 8, homeless shelters, etc. Meanwhile, D.C. keeps giving Illinois one of the very worst deals (while it heavily subsidizes other states).

  1681.  @cjhoward409  Oh, shut up! Central Illinois is very subsidized by Springfield, and Southern Illinois is spectacularly subsidized by Springfield.

However, once they establish their "turf," suddenly, they're totally opposed to diversity! 😡😡 Therefore, their local economy is off limits to 88% of the U.S. population! When 88% of the U.S. population isn't welcome in their precious "turf," how are their local economies supposed to prosper?🙄🙄 How do the demographics in Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, East Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Buffalo, etc., compare now vs. when those cities were prosperous, and safe? 🧐🤔🤨

Well, for me, life in Chicago has been awesome. In fact, I wouldn't move out of Chicago if I was a millionaire. Oh wait a minute: I AM a millionaire! 😎😎 Again, what are you credentials?

Because I've actually lived in Chicago for the last 33.5 years. What are your credentials? 🤔🤨 What state are you from? In case you hadn't noticed, the ENTIRE nation is–more or less–dangerous. Last year, how many Americans were injured/killed by vehicular accidents? "It’s a ruthless, evil, dangerous, and cold hearted city."

  1716. We'll see. During the last decade, I kept hearing/reading that Chicago's population was fleeing in droves. However, the 2020 Census showed that it actually increased 1.9%. Chicago's population is almost exactly the same as it was in 1990 (the year I moved to Chicago). Compare that to other Midwestern cities.

    1
  1718. (2:22-2:29) Yeah, in "certain environments." For example, there's a certain demographic group that believes that they should walk around/live wherever they want–fine. However, once this same group establishes an area as their "turf," they hypocritically bar all other demographic groups. In fact, the mere sight of a different demographic group in their precious "turf" is enough to make them absolutely enraged!
    1
  1719.  @marktwaine9344  Yeah, use Chicago as the first example: even though many cities are more violent/MUCH MORE violent.  Do you even know what "per capita" means? For example, did you know that last year, New Orleans had a homicide rate that was almost THREE TIMES worse than Chicago's?
    1
  1720. "The multigenerational welfare recipient racists..." Like those in the 'hood (who won't allow other races anywhere in their "turf")? "...will tell you that 'dEmoGrApHiCs' are the reason there's low crime."  Ugh, you're so naïve. "Actual Mainers..." What percentage of "actual Mainers" are white? "...have a historical dislike of law enforcement..." The you-know-who crowd has a historical dislike of law enforcement too. "People in Maine tend to resolve a lot of issues without government involvement." People in the you-know-who crowd tend to resolve a lot of issues without government involvement too. "But generally, if someone steals your stuff, you go get it back yourself." If a gangbanger from the 'hood stole your stuff, would you go get it back yourself? Surely you're not that naïve (even if you are from Maine).

  1722.  @naitthegr8131  "Maine, in addition to having less poverty..." Why does Maine have less poverty? Could demographics have something to do with that? Of course, the question is purely rhetorical (for those who are not naïve). "...is a sparsely populated rural area. try again." Tokyo is the most populated urban area in the world. Try again.
    1
  1723.  @cheahdawg8791  Classic liberal response: just say/write "racist," and all debate is supposed to cease. How about corroborating your argument? Do you only detest "multigenerational welfare recipients" if they're white? Do you turn a blind eye to black racism? How often have you walked around in black neighborhood all by yourself?

  1724.  @SocialMediaTragedy  I live in Chicago (just like I've been doing for the last 33 awesome years). If you're from Malta, then why in the world do you care about Chicago?

    1
  1733.  @lexhawkins7442  I'd take statistics like that with a grain of salt. Last I checked, out of Illinois' top ten public high schools, 6/10 are in Chicago. Are you from Arkansas?

Are you more interested in Chicago's crime than Detroit's? Does focusing on Chicago's crime help you to forget about Detroit's crime (or its decay)? Dude, last year, Detroit's homicide rate was almost DOUBLE what Chicago's had! People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, right?

  1745. "I really do believe that at some point Chicago is going to drop from 3rd to being the fourth most populated city in the country." Uh, might the fact that Houston has almost TRIPLE Chicago's land area have just a little somethin' t' do with that?! 🙄🙄

    1
  1750. Or brush his teeth.

  1751. Thank you! White flight? What about black flight? For generations, affluent blacks have been fleeing their own kind. Since black people move away from black people, why should Whitey have a guilt trip?
    1
  1752. "Even wealthy black people flee all the crime ridden cities you’ve mentioned." Exactly! Black flight (i.e., black people fleeing from their own kind) has been going on for generations, so why should Whitey have a guilt trip? When black people get the dough, they go!

  1756.  @LVRN-qj7kr  Yeah, sure: AS IF suburban criminals never commit crimes in Chicago. 🙄🙄 Do you live in a rural area, or an affluent, N.I.M.B.Y. suburb? Yeah, AS IF suburbia has to put up with housing projects, Section 8, cheap apartments, homeless shelters, etc., as much as its dumping grounds (i.e., America's cities). 🙄🙄 How do you know that these "teens" didn't come from Harvey, Hazel Crest, East Hazel Crest, Chicago Heights, Ford Heights, South Holland, Homewood, Flossmoor, Glenwood, Country Club Hills, Matteson, Blue Island, Markham, Calumet City, Crete, Olympia Fields, Park Forest, University Park, etc.?

    1
  1758. Dude, somebody has to be the dumping ground for housing projects, Section 8, homeless shelters, cheap apartments, etc. This is the U.S.: where the riffraff are mostly dumped into cities (and most of the rest are dumped into poor suburbs). Europeans (e.g., the French) are smart: They use suburbs as dumping grounds. Do you live in a rural area, or a N.I.M.B.Y. suburb? 🤔 We can't all live in splendid isolation, right? 🤨

  1764.  @gualbertogarcia305  Write for their neighborhood, not the whole city. My neighborhood isn't deteriorating, crumbling, and falling apart. Actually, it's in better shape now than when I moved into it. No wonder that I've lived in it for the last 31 years (as my second Chicago neighborhood). If it's so bad, then why haven't they moved? What state are you living in now? Are you going to answer my questions?

  1770.  @kjchicago1  Willowbrook is a suburb. I've lived in Chicago for the last 33 years, and I've been all over the city, but with one exception: You Know Who's "turf."
    1
  1771.  @zoomanx9661  Yeah, AS IF suburbia's "diversity" never commits any crime in Chicago! 🙄🙄 Are you from a rural area, or a N.I.B.Y. suburb? 🤔

  1777.  @j.e3336  Do you actually live in Detroit?🤔Or are you yet ANOTHER suburban booster that's never actually lived there (and never will)?🤔🤨
    1
  1778. Uh, you MIGHT NOT survive? 🙄  Yeah, they're actually safer walking around in white neighborhoods than in their own "turf." That must be one reason that they'll drive 30, 40, 50, etc. minutes to hang out in a white neighborhood, vs. walking 3 minutes to to the nearest park in their own "turf." 😠 Their hypocrisy is off the charts! 😡 Of course, the media, the press, and the government never confronts them about it, so they always get away with it. 😡
    1
  1779.  @yamamancha  Okay, your credentials are also excellent–very good. Yes, Englewood hasn't gotten better: but it's just one neighborhood. The neighborhood that I've lived in for the last 30 years tells a very different story, but you "don't need to be lectured," so I'll skip it.

  1780.  @BonkedbyTeemo  Your points taken. Nevertheless, no way would I trade Chicago in 2024 with Chicago in 1989, 1979, 1974, etc. Back then, there was also plenty to feel terrible about. From 1950 - 1990, Chicago lost almost 25% of its population. From 1990 -2020, Chicago's population stayed the same.
    1
  1781.  @yamamancha  Yes, the Taste really was wonderful, and wondrous (without the help of a security perimeter)!🙂 What a party!😎 I remember how it was a hit from the get-go: 7-4-1980. Of course, the next year, it moved to Grant Park, and then it really kicked into high gear! At the same time, right nearby, there was abandoned land that freight trains used to use. In some places, you could even see the old rail lines sticking out of the dirt & weeds. Also, there was this huge, plain, ugly parking lot: just east of Michigan. The whole thing was a huge eyesore, and right in Chicago's living room!😕  Today, that land features Millennium Park, Maggie Daley Park, parking that's been buried underground (hence, out of sight), and lots of new, dazzling buildings along the river. To the south of the Taste, there was also lots of abandoned land. In front of the Field Museum, there was an old, beat up parking lot. L.S.D. separated the the F.M. from the Aquarium. Today, L.S.D. has been rerouted (much for the better), there's the Museum Campus, and more new, dazzling buildings south of Rosevelt. It'll be interesting to see what the future holds for the better/worse ratio.

  1782.  @TheOldTapeArchive  "Citizens and businesses are fleeing..." Don't get your Chicago-bashing hopes up too much. During the previous decades, I kept hearing/reading from people like you: who joyfully claimed that Chicago was just...just...wait for it...just...HEMORAGING POPULATION! Ah, but then, the 2020 census came out, and–much to the shock & fury of you Chicago bashers–Chicago actually gained population–HA! What state are you from?🤔
    1
  1783.  @TheOldTapeArchive  "Citizens and businesses are fleeing..." Citizens? We'll see. From 1950 - 1990, Chicago lost almost 25% of its population. From 1990 - 2020, Chicago's population stayed the same. In 2020, the Chicago bashers must've been absolutely shocked that Chicago had gained population. The Mag' Mile? Last I checked, we've got plenty of company in cities like New York, L.A., and S.F. Check out METAL LEO, or German in Venice. What % of suburbia's malls have died, or are on life support?

  1789. Have you ever written anything snide about cities that are more violent than Chicago (e.g., Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, E. St. Louis, Cleveland, Memphis, K.C., D.C., Milwaukee, Oakland, Buffalo, New Orleans, Albuquerque, Little Rock, Gary, etc.)? You have? Okay, where can I find them? What's the real reason that you hate Chicago? Your ego? Because you need to feel superior? What state are you from?

  1790.  @karenirby3558  "It’s like a garden that you stop attending to." Whose job is it to attend to? The people that live there, that's who. When I was growing up, our area looked spectacular. Why? Because the residents worked & worked to make it so. "You have to continue to invest if not the garden will become overgrown." Whose responsibility is it to invest? Once again, the people who live there. "What I got out of this video is when the complexion changed so did the investments and opportunities." First of all, this video is merely leftist, p.c. propaganda. Do black people really pay their proportionate % of taxes? Do black people not receive a disproportionate % of the funding provided by Medicaid, Obamacare, SNAP, public housing, Section 8, etc.?  By the way, CRIME CAUSES POVERTY (not just vice versa). Have you lived your entire life in splendid isolation?
    1
  1791.  @DiscoverTop10_q2b  First of all, stop being the devil's advocate. Things like "disinvestment" and "job loss" absolutely do NOT lead inevitably lead to more crime. All across the U.S., Europe, Japan, there are many places that have experienced bad/horrible population loss. However, that has merely made those places more sleepy–not more dangerous. The relationship between crime and poverty is reciprocal: CRIME CAUSES POVERTY (not just vice versa)! Do you expect Whitey to invest in the "turf" that the You-Know-Who Crowd controls? If Whitey can't even walk around in such areas (without the locals becoming absolutely enraged), how can Whitey be expected to invest in such areas?

  1792.  @richardalvarado-ik9br  "Australia (LOL, was a British penal colony)." How long did it take to convert Australia into a great nation? Australia must be one of the best nations in the world to live. How do you know that none of those "serial killer" cases were merely hoaxes? You do know that the sheeple are fed lots & lots of hoaxes, right? Even if they have all been real, how many murders has the You-Know-Who Crowd committed since 1865? Also, how do you know that the media hasn't been downplaying non-white serial killers?

  1793. "Detroit was the model city for America in the 60's ." Uh, aren't you forgetting 1967? Out of all that rioting and looting, what % was committed by the You-Know-Who Crowd?

Should Chicago also take the "blame" for wealthy towns like Winnetka, Kenilworth, Glencoe, Hinsdale, etc.? 🧐🤔After all, how many people from affluent suburbs commute to Chicago for work? 🤔🤨 Have you ever written such a "cousin" comment about Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Buffalo, etc.?

  1802. For what? 🙄🤨Chicago's already the most bashed, hated city on the planet! Haven't you been getting enough Chicago bashing from the media (based in New York), the press (based in New York), the movies (based in L.A.), the TV shows (based in L.A.)., and the countless Chicago bashers on the internet? 🙄🙄 Are you just as eager to see Leo visit Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, East Cleveland, K.C., D.C., N.Y.C., Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Albuquerque, Buffalo, many suburbs, or countless small towns? 🤔🤨 Do you actually live in Chicago proper (like me)? 🤔 Hmmm! 🤨 If "it's happening," then why haven't you left? 🤔 Hmmm! 🤨

  1811. Yeah, cackle about a flooded viaduct!🙄 Anything to bash Chicago, right? How does this compare to what happened in Texas? Should we feel smug? What state are you from? Are you from a rural area, or a N.I.M.B.Y. suburb? Hmmm. P.S. They're waiting for you.

  1823.  @motiondroplets7826  HUH?! Ugh, wow. Are you always that naÏve? How old are you? Where are you from? Have you lived all of your life in splendid isolation?  Dude, it's called "street smarts." Can you actually imagine a pilot, engineer, architect, etc., risking his career and reputation for a pair of basketball shoes? No. Dude, it's the ghetto crowd, the welfare mother's spawn, the young pothead, etc., that loots and destroys. Dude, it's not just the state: it's also the city/town. Just because Georgia is conservative doesn't mean that Atlanta is also, right? Just because Missouri is conservative doesn't mean that St. Louis is as well, riiiiiiight? Look at where most of the unrest took place: New York, L.A., Chicago (where I live), D.C., Minneapolis, Seattle, St. Louis, Atlanta, etc. All liberal strongholds (with lots of parasitic, freeloading moochers on the dole).

Also, I'd say that 85% of Latinos are good/spectacular workers (vs. 80% for whites). I've met both good-and-bad people from all the different races. How's that for judging people by the content of their character? Is Briggs really more objective than me, or is he a biased, p.c. liberal? "...you're also a worshipper of Donald Trump." Actually, I've never voted for Donald Trump. On the other hand, I've voted for Democrats many times. Dude, y' know where I've lived for the last 33 years? Chicago: a one-party town. Back in 2001, both N.Y. and L.A. had Republican Mayors. Chicago? We haven't had a Republican mayor in almost a century! As for Chicago's 50 alderman, they're usually 100% Democrats. Now who's being prejudice? "Only a gullible idiot like you..." Only a gullible idiot trusts the media. "...even though a few people actually died." How do you know? Were you there? For crying out loud, calm down.

  1889. Despite all the disasters that hit the Sunbelt, one thing never changes: Year after year, the average American becomes less tolerant of winters. Today's winters often feature incredibly little snow, yet so many young Americans will exaggerate about how snowy it is.🙄
    1
  1890.  @punchfreneticallydot  Yes, it's not hard to see. Still, despite the fact that winters have been getting easier, people have been growing less tolerant of snow & cold. Global warming is no myth, and winters in the 1970s were usually way more snowy. Here in Northern Illinois, it's February 5th, yet we've still had hardly any snow. Last year, we also had historically low snowfall. For the whiners to stop exaggerating, how much easier does it have to get? Personally, I wouldn't want to risk living somewhere that's exceptionally vulnerable to natural disasters. For example, long ago, I stayed at a timeshare in Florida, and it was great. However, years later, my buddy said to me, "Our place in Florida was walloped by a hurricane." Uh, you did see what just happened in warm, sunny L.A., right? For those that lost their homes (and everything in them), how "depressing" was that? Of course, to each their own.

Let's just ignore how You Know Who walks around/lives wherever he wants, yet his precious "turf" is off limits to 88% of the U.S. population. 🙄🙄
    1
  1895.  @naithngr81-jh2bb  Of course You Know Who chased white people out: what You Know Who takes over, You Know Who eventually destroys. After hypocritical You Know Who takes over a "housing market," it then becomes his "turf," and the 88% must stay out (or else)!

New Jersey: the WORST deal from D.C. Dude, get your facts–including your spelling–straight! 😡😡

  1905.  @naithngr81-jh2bb  "...years of systemic housing discrimination..." Housing discrimination? Uh, like the way the shamelessly hypocritical You-Know-Who Crowd becomes absolutely ENRAGED at the mere sight of a non-black person in their precious "turf?" Let's see you justify that blatant hypocrisy. Why do black people get so upset just because they see a non-black person in their 'hood? Disinvestment? How do you expect Whitey to invest in a place where Whitey isn't even allowed to walk around?!🙄 Magic Johnson tried to invest amongst his own demographic. How'd that turn out? Outsourcing of jobs? Isn't that "right-wing clown" Trump trying to do something about that? Aren't countless Democrats denouncing him, and acting like they care more about foreign manufacturing?

  1906.  @brownerjerry174  "Cities with 10s of millions are not at all uncommon in Asia" Where did I write otherwise? Why does Asia has so many huge, dynamic, prosperous, thriving cities?

No. "...also doesn't explain places like India and South east Asia which are mega-diverse but still have lower crime overall than US..." HUH?! Mega diverse? In what way? In then same way that the U.S. is diverse? Yeah, Singapore is so diverse: 74% Chinese, 13% Malay, and 9% Indian. Translation: "diverse" Singapore is almost 100% Asian. HA!

Translation: "diverse" Singapore is almost 100% Asian. How does that compare to U.S. cities? "You've already argued against Singapore..." Actually, in response to this video, I've used Singapore to epitomize safety. "But Asian itself is not an ethnicity." Really? Wow, you're so knowledgeable. Please, keep lecturing me. "They’ve got East Asians, South-East Asians, and South Asians." Really? Why do you suppose that Eastern Asians exist? Because Asia has an eastern side? "Not to mention, it’s an even more diverse country in terms of religion." Really? Wow, and yet it's so safe? How do they do it? After all, some religions teach that crime is a virtue. "It has nothing to do with race." Oh Krystian, you're so naïve.

  1919. Briggs: "...population density–population density being the biggest problem. More people always means more problems." Really? In the U.S., the census goes back to 1790, and EVERY census has shown a decrease in the % of Americans that live in rural areas. As for urban America, cities like Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, East Cleveland, K.C., D.C., Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Hartford, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Atlantic City, Buffalo, were attracting people from rural America–or even across the Atlantic–until.......

  1936. Don't worry: D.C. hates Illinois. For as long as I can remember (i.e., 1980), D.C. has been giving Illinois one of the very worst deals. New Mexico (last I checked): the BEST deal from D.C. Iowa: the 33rd-best deal from D.C. (including D.C.). Illinois: the 49th-best deal from D.C.
    1
  1937. EXACTLY! By the end of W.W. II, so much of Germany, Japan, etc. had been reduced to parking lots! Also, to win W.W. II, we had to take on a gigantic mountain of debt. Here are some more facts: (1) Immigration was much lower. Back in 1970, the foreign-born citizenry was only 4.7%. (2) Men dominated most of the professions. (3) The boomers were being born. (4) Most of what Americans bought was made in the U.S.A.

Uh, you can't? 🙄🙄 Indiana (last I checked): 34th-best wages. 🧐 Kentucky: 43rd-best wages. 🧐 Arkansas: 49th-best wages. 🧐 "...and very low [sic] crime other [sic] places." Low crime?🤔 Like where?🤔 Little Rock?🤔 "...the quality of life deteriorating rapidly." OH, PLEAAASE! 🙄🙄 Okay, let's compare Chicago today vs. 50 years ago: (1) The air is much cleaner.* (2) The lake is much cleaner. (3) The river is much cleaner. (4) The city is cleaner. (5) All kinds of stuff has been fixed up.  Also, in the U.S., Chicago is one of the very few places where living without a vehicle is easy. For me, driving everywhere, stroads, etc. ≠ a high-quality life. How's the "high-quality life" been doin' in Sarasota? 🤔 I could add more, but the Censorship Machine would surely block me. "It no longer matters what neighborhood in Chicago." WRONNNNG! 🙄🙄 I've lived in my neighborhood for the last 30 years, and I like it now more vs. then (and I really liked it back then). *Canadian/western wildfire doesn't count.

They showed some happy, excited, idealistic, laughably naïve, boomer woman. She said that the honor system would be used, and that cities like Moscow "proved" that the honor system works.🙄🙄 Okay, boomer.🙄🙄 Later, I was in the military, and I met some guy from San Diego. He told me that they very quickly had to get rid of the honor system. Surprise, surprise. 🙄🙄
