  1. "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
  2. Yes, his kitty language: Catonese. 😉
    39
  3. Daley II was the mayor from 1989 - 2011. During that time, when did anything like this EVER happen?
    32
  4. "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?
    31
  5. Why do they have such a thing for scattering like roaches? 🙄🙄
    27
  6. 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
  7.  @PassportBrosAndBlondeManWeaves  "It has nothing to do with laziness." OH, PLEAAAASE!! 🙄🙄
    15
  8.  @Fuad767  How many battles did Europeans have to fight against invading Persians, North Africans, Tartars, Mongolians, or Ottomans?
    15
  9.  @tomotrono242  "you can really see the difference when the majority of a society has common sense" Could Tokyo's demographics be a factor? Hmmm.
    14
  10.  @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
  11. "In Poland, walking around cities at night only risks dying of boredom." Why is that? Demographics? Hmmm. 🤔🤔
    14
  12. 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.

  13.  @MoonlightXYZ  Last I checked, W.V. is the FOURTH-most-subsidized state (i.e., subsidized by D.C.). Illinois? The 46th. 😡😡
    13
  14.  @Israel.Is.TerroristState  How many battles did Europeans have to fight against invading, colonizing Persians, North Africans, Tartars, Mongolians, or Ottomans?
    12
  15. Crime so low cause the criminals actually get punished..." Here's another reason why Singapore has low crime: much easier demographics.
    11
  16. 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.

  17. Briggs: "Why is Maine so safe?" I dunno. Midnight hockey?
    11
  18. 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
  19. January 6th was as choreographed as 9-11!
    11
  20. Briggs: "Why is Maine so safe?" For the exact-same reason as Tokyo: sparsely populated.
    10
  21.  @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
  22.  @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.
    10
  23. OH, PLEASSSE! 🙄🙄Yeah, AS IF those freeloaders want to work! 🙄🙄 By the way, crime causes poverty more than poverty causes crime.

  24.  @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.

  25. "There's a HUGE reason why Maine is a phenomenal place..." Yeah, I know–demographics.

  26. Why is Minsk so clean & safe? Demographics? Hmmm. 🤔🤔

  27. SHHHH! All these insiders want their cut from the slush funds.
    8
  28. What percentage of those "billions of dollars to give to Ukraine" actually went to slush funds? 🧐🤔 Hmmm. 🤨🤨
    8
  29.  @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.

  30. 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
  31. 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?
    7
  32. Irish Americans don't cruise around with Irish flags.

  33.  @ulisesramirez2944  What Mexicans are native? The ones without any European blood? 🧐🤔

  34.  @white_genocide2050  Does that include the "native Americans" in Mexico? 🤔🤔
    6
  35.  @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?
    6
  36. "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
  37. 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.
    6
  38. "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! 🙄😡

  39.  @nejdro1  The relationship between crime and poverty is reciprocal: crime causes poverty (not just vice versa).

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

  41. (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?

  45.  @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.

  46. 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.

  53.  @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.

  65. In the 34 years that I've lived in Chicago, I've NEVER seen anyone cruising around with an Italian, Greek, Irish, or Chinese flag. Polish? Yes: one car, one flag, one time (on L.S.D.). That was the only time that I've ever seen anyone cruising with a European flag. As for those "American digital nomads," have they ever cruised around Mexico City with American flags?

  66. Hater, what state are you from? Have you ever written anything like that about Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., D.C., L.A., Inside Job City, Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Flint, Atlanta, Buffalo, etc.?

  67. 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?

  69. "...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).
    4
  70.  @DaleGribble1  HUH?! Last I checked, Chicago's homicide count is down 7% vs. 2022. 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? What state are you from?

  71.  @anotherone-xp9ox  "Well they are the most violent by a country mile" HUH?! 😳 Uh, no. Once again, someone who doesn't even understand what "per capita" means. 🙄🙄 Genius, last year, New Orleans had a homicide rate that was almost THREE-TIMES WORSE than Chicago's! What state are you from?

"...and stayed in a hotel in a suburb called Harvey." HUH?! You're judging Chicago based on a...suburb (Harvey, at that)?! Uh, really? 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.
    4
  81. Really? Uh, so housing projects, Section 8, homeless shelters, SROs, cheap houses, and cheap apartments should be spread out evenly? Even in all those N.I.M.B.Y. suburbs? 🤔 Do you live in a N.I.M.B.Y. suburb? How is incident Chicago's fault? 🙄

Meanwhile, New Mexico gets $3.69 for every dollar it sends to D.C. Since when has Illinois not been getting one of the worst deals from D.C.? Year after year, decade after decade, it's been the same ol' story.

  91. Also the same kind as 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, etc. As for this group, they could've 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, University Park, etc.

  102.  @smeagle3295  Operative word: relatively.🧐 Dude, it's the third-most--populated city in the U.S.🙄🙄 Also, lots & lots of Chicagoans don't own a front yard, a back yard, or even a garage. For me, Chicago has been very cheap. Besides not owning those three things, I've also lived–for the last 34 years–without a vehicle.😎 In 95% of the U.S., owning a vehicle is a must.

  106. I've lived in Europe, and I've lived in Chicago for the last 33.5 years. I actually feel a little safer in Chicago. Here's why: (1) I live in a demographically desirable neighborhood. (2) I don't own a car. Where I lived in Europe, you needed a car, and driving was very dangerous. Europeans seemed to be soooooo proud to be such ultra-aggressive drivers.

  111.  @user-jy7yw5kw3w  "...maybe if he took a walk around those places he'd be less naive." Maybe indeed. Guess what? I've actually lived in Chicago for the last 33 years. 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.

Who's the new F.D.R. amongst today's Republicans? 🙄🤨 Now who needs to learn history before commenting? 🤨🤨 What state are you from? One of those naïve, high-latitude states?🤨🤨

"It would be difficult to devise a better plan for bringing about urban decay than the various policies Chicago implemented in the 90s."

  195. "They are EVERYWHERE!!! "I haven't seen them much in my neighborhood..." Uh, isn't that a slight incongruity? I've lived in Chicago for the last 33 years. Have I seen rats? Of course. 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." I've been downtown countless times, and I used to work downtown, yet I haven't seen that many downtown.

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)?

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."

That all crimes count equally? Is one property crime as bad as one homicide? Bogus! You: "Car jacking in Chicago and Milwaukee and Minneapolis is off the charts. Record breaking" Uh, y' sure about Chicago? Okay, here's wttw (May 1st): "According to CPD data, vehicular hijackings are down more than 25% this year compared to last, while violent crime on the CTA is down 6% year-to-date."

  203.  @DaleGribble1  "I was talking larger cities." Okay, last I checked, N.O. is 53rd for population. So, are we talking about the Top 100 U.S. cities for population? If so, Chicago is most definitely NOT in the Top 5 for its homicide rate. "That info has been consistently the same for 10 years..." Many cities have had per capita homicide rates that are higher/much higher than Chicago's: that's what's been consistent. Do you even know what "per capita" means? "Yore [sic] acting like..." Good one. 🙄🙄

  211. "...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.

  220.  @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?

  221.  @naithngr81-jh2bb  I'd sure rather live in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Albuquerque, or Santa Fe than 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.

  222.  @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....

  223. 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?

  225. "In China, Korea, Japan, etc, there is significantly more crime in the densely populated areas than there is in the less densely populated areas." Could the fact that there are "significantly more" people in densely populated areas have something to do with that? "It has nothing to do with race..." Really? Let's see: 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, etc.

  289.  @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?

  304.  @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.

  338.  @nathanguadalupe  Dude, your "logic" is all over the place.🙄🙄 Stop comparing apples to oranges. "I'm definitely not saying that waving the flag of a foreign country is equivalent to using the sidewalk as a public toilet." There y' go: that's more like it. "...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)?

You know: They're the type that sarcastically mock you if you dare to fly an American flag (even on the 4th, in the U.S.). Are they just as displeased by people who cruise around with Mexican flags, Puerto Rican flags, etc.? Or do these displays of "ethnic pride" leave them feeling charmed? 🤔🤨 Unlike with American flags, I can't imagine a p.c., liberal white person saying/yelling sarcasm because of Mexican flags, Puerto Rican flags, etc.

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. 🙃
    1
  369. Yeah, maybe they should move it to a more vehicular city: Houston, Phoenix, L.A., etc. Then again, considering that 40,990 Americans died in vehicular crashes last year, that would be much too dangerous! 🧐

  371. Ugh, here we go again! 🙄🙄 When something bad happens on public transportation, the media says that there's a....CRISIS! 🙄🙄 Of course, N.I.M.B.Y. suburbanites watch, and think, "Wow, I'm sure glad that I live in suburbia: where everybody drives everywhere. I'm sure glad that I never take public transportation." 🙄🙄 Meanwhile, the media ignores the vast majority of vehicular accidents. Considering how many that there are, that's rather understandable. Occasionally, some a so horrific, that they can't be ignored. Look at the recent crash in affluent, "perfectly safe" Glenview: 1 killed, three injured, a vehicle SPLIT IN HALF! However, I've never seen the media use a vehicular accident to say that there's a CRISIS because Americans drive too much! 🙄🙄  After the Glenview crash, how many N.I.M.B.Y. suburbanites thought, "Wow, driving is so dangerous! I need to move to a place where people actually walk; where people don't call the police on pedestrians!" 🙄🙄 Considering how N.I.M.B.Y. suburbanites think, here's my guess: ZERO! 🙄🙄

"...toddlers who live in Chicago have a good chance of having bullet scars if the are able to make it past 5."

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?

  543.  @scoobydoo8498  We'll see about that. Chicago was "falling apart" much more back in the 1980s, 1970s, and 1960s. No wonder that Chicago lost so much population in those decades.

  544.  @scoobydoo8498  How do you know? How do you know that he wasn't from Maywood, Bellwood, etc.?  Even if he was from Chicago, Chicago is always the dumping ground for housing projects, Section 8, homeless shelters, SROs, cheap houses, and cheap apartments. Are there any housing projects in Oak Park? How much Section 8 is in River Forrest?

For that matter, I've almost never seen anyone driving around with an American flag. That's not surprising: the cops won't allow such a thing. Think I'm exaggerating? Two times, me & a buddy tried to drive around with an American flag. Both times, as soon as we turned off of L.S.D., the cops appeared out of thin air!

  570. You wouldn't dare! In fact, in some parts of the U.S., it's literally dangerous to fly an American flag on July 4th! Think I'm exaggerating? One time, I was rollerblading with an American flag (on the 4th), and somebody threw a full-bear can at my head! Thankfully, he missed!

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. But then, Beetlejuice & B.J. took over, and now......

However, the state of Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, etc., would indicate that people like you aren't common enough. "There's a difference between everyday hard-working blk American people and criminals. Not all criminals are blk. Not all people that live in those areas are criminals." Yes, of course–no kidding. The thing is, ENOUGH people in Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, Englewood, Austin, etc., have been criminals, welfare recipients, etc., to ruin those formerly prosperous places. "President Lyndon B. Johnson's new deal, created the criminals you complain about." L.B.J. hasn't been the president since 1-20-1969. In case you hadn't noticed, we're almost in 2025. 🙄 How about we take responsibility? By the way, the New Deal was F.D.R.: L.B.J. was the so-called "Great Society." "Second and third way feminism created the criminals you complain about." I'm not a fan of feminism either. However, I've lived in feminist communities all my life, yet none of them have been crime factories. My current neighborhood is extremely feminist, yet safe (unless the 'hood crowd shows up). For that matter, many demographic groups have been embracing feminism for generations, yet that hasn't resulted in massive urban/suburban destruction amongst those groups (or at least not until all that liberalism lead to demographic change). "Let's get to the root of the problem instead of pointing fingers." Uh, but you just pointed at Democrats, L.B.J., feminists, and the media. 🙄 "If the media Covered your community in the same manner..." My community hasn't been giving the media much crime to talk about. No wonder that I've lived in my neighborhood for the last 30 years. On the rare occasion that it has, what % of those incidents were due to outsiders?

  584.  @gregoryguerrier963  Your point is taken. Still, what does "the past few decades" mean? The last 30 years? 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.

  585. Just 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, Flint, Louisville, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Atlantic City, Buffalo, etc.

  586. First of all, that's not a normal day in my neighborhood (which I've lived in for the last 30 years. Why not? Demographics. Daley II was a Democrat, yet he had downtown much, much safer. It's much more about demographics than Democrats.

You're almost as bad as B.J. trying to blame Nixon. 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.

Have you ever written a comment like that about Detroit, Baltimore, Memphis, Newark, New Orleans, St. Louis, East St. Louis, Cleveland, K.C., D.C., L.A., Inside Job City, Minneapolis, Philadelphia, Little Rock, Milwaukee, Oakland, Gary, Mobile, Jackson, Camden, Birmingham, Buffalo, etc.? What state are you from?

  654.  @FreeMan..-._.-._._.  What makes a question "legitimate"? You're just being evasive. Dude, admit it: you've never written anything snide about those places. You're one of those sheeple types that follows the lead of New York and L.A. Translation: you act as if there's only one city in the U.S. that deserves snide remarks. The way you write "blue" shows that you're one of the sheeple: red is for commies, not conservatives. What state are you from?

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?

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."

In return, New York (i.e., the national media) goes along with the propaganda about L.A. being so safe. Hmmm.

(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?

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.

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!

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.

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?

  774.  @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.

  776. "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).

  777.  @naithngr81-jh2bb  Yeah, it's dangerous to be in the Ukraine right now: just like Sudan, or Syria. Meanwhile, it's much, much safer to be in Helsinki, Zurich, Copenhagen, Vienna, etc., than You Know Who's "turf" 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, etc.

It's like this: If I'm merely a white supremacist, then why would I use Japan, China, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan as examples of low-crime, hard-working, prosperous, well-educated, organized, efficient civilizations? "what do those countries in Asia have to do with states in the united states?" Those countries epitomize how much demographics matters: just like in Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, etc.

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?

  788. 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?

  789.  @chris2kgreat  "In Japan, for example, there is more crime in Tokyo than a less densely populated area" Could the fact that Tokyo is the most populated city in the world have something to do with that?

  793.  @BlissfulDee  Who says that Chicago is uniquely corrupt compared to Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, New Orleans, Cleveland, Philadelphia, etc.? Where does this "reputation" come from? The two cities that are in cahoots (i.e., N.Y. and L.A.)? D.C. has quite a reputation for corruption as well. Maybe that explains why–last I checked–greater D.C. has seven of the ten-wealthiest counties in the U.S.

  794. 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.

  800.  @victorbasta7359  Yeah, and Chicago's seething haters (e.g., New York, L.A., Victor Basta, etc.) absolutely love it. Now, that begs a question: Why do you love it? Here's the bad news (for haters like you): You Know Who wasn't "running wild destroying things and assaulting and shooting people" in my neighborhood last weekend. Why not? The demographics of my neighborhood. Y' know: pretty much like the U.S. in general. Dude, how many times have I seen videos of You Know Who acting stupid in other places too (e.g., Miami Beach; Long Beach, N.J.; motorcycle gangs in Baltimore, motorcycle gangs in Philadelphia, etc.)? Where's there's You Know Who, watch out. Again, what state are you from?

Don't you even know what "per capita" means?

  803.  @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.

  804.  @jobradovich_0133  "One of those countries is one of the richest in the world..." Why is Japan so rich? Could demographics have something to do with it? How rich was Japan in 1945? "...and the other is, well, Haiti" Why is Haiti so messed up? Could demographics have something to do with it?

  808.  @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.

  809.  @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?
    1
  810.  @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.

In case you didn't notice, we–along with many other countries– fought AGAINST China during the Korean War! Since you can't use the Cold War to explain China's success, what's your "excuse" for them? "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.

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?

Do you even care about facts?

  828. "Poverty is what leads to crime..." The relationship between crime and poverty is reciprocal: crime leads to poverty.

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?

I actually live in Chicago: for the last 33 years (after growing up in suburban Chicago). Therefore, I'm way more "familiar with the current nature of the place" than you. Here's the deal: life in the different neighborhoods is mostly about its demographics (believe it or not). Chicago doesn't share "the same degenerative factors" to the same extent as Detroit, Baltimore, St. Louis, etc. (despite what New York and L.A. would have the nation/world believe).
    1
  844.  @HRHolm-bi6zu  Why are you singling out Chicago (as if it's the most dangerous city)? Just because New York and L.A. would have you believe that?

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?

  865.  @turretplug6858  Could the fact that Chicago has the third-biggest population have something to do with that? Do you even know what "per capita" means? For example, last year, Baltimore had a homicide rate that was more than DOUBLE what Chicago's was, and New Orleans had a homicide rate that was almost TRIPLE what Chicago's was! Are you just as interested 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, Buffalo, etc.?

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).

Faced with extreme economic scarcity due to the communist regime’s poor economic policies, parents saw large families as the sole means to avoid an otherwise bleak lifestyle."

  902. 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
  903.  @wyattfamily8997  Of course they do. For generations, suburbanites have commuted–in droves–to work in the city. Also, just like other cities, we're the gigantic dumping ground for affluent, N.I.M.B.Y. suburbanites living in splendid isolation: housing projects, Section 8, homeless shelters, etc.

Since then, the homicide count has been going down (including down 10% so far this year). 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. "...the economy in Chicago is in the dumps..." HUH?! It's cooled off a bit, but we were absolutely smothered with help-wanted signs recently.

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.

  988.  @Anonymint-vj7bt  "...then it is no where [sic] near as low [as] 29%." It is 29%. Of course, you–unlike me–don't live in Chicago (so you wouldn't know). "Ditto if you considered the entire suburban area around New Orleans the percentage of black is lower..." Greater Chicago is about 17% black. "...32% for all [of] Louisiana." Illinois: 14% black "Chicago [is] now the murder capital of the USA." Wrong! Homeboy, do you even know what "per capita" means? For example.... Chicago: 2.75 M population 2021 Homicides: 797 Baltimore: 585 K population 2021 Homicides: 337 New Orleans: 383 K population 2021 Homicides: 218

New Orleans: 54% black Baton Rouge: 54% black Chicago: 29% black "Haven't actually bothered to go check out Chicago." Uh, soooo...if you've NEVER actually been to Chicago, then how do you know that it "is Africa"? "I did make the mistake of stopping to fill up for gas in Tucson..." Oh, I SEEEEE! Yeah, that'll do. Driving Distance from Chicago to Tucson: 1,745 miles "...many of the African nations..."

  990. (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! 😡😡

  991. "I wish we could make chicago a city state..." Really? Be careful what you wish for. For every dollar that it sends to Springfield, it receives $1.87. Southern Illinois? It receives $2.81 for every dollar that it sends to Springfield. Cook County? It only receives 90 cents from Springfield (despite being a dumping ground for housing projects, Section 8, homeless shelters, cheap apartments, etc.). Yeah, we sure do "control the state." 🙄🙄

  992. "The cities continue to get more and more money while the rest of us have to make due..." WRONNNNNG!!

What have cities been getting "more and more" of (for generations)? Housing projects, Section 8, homeless shelters, cheap apartments, etc. Would you admit that you live in splendid isolation? Get your facts straight! 😡😡

  993. (10:26) Hmmm, could that have something to do with the terrible deal that D.C. gives to Illinois and New Jersey (a.k.a. NEW JESRSEY 🙄🙄) year after year, decade after decade, generation after generation? 🤔🤔 New Mexico (last I checked): the BEST deal from D.C. Illinois: the 49th-best deal from D.C. (including D.C.). New Jersey: the WORST deal from D.C. Dude, get your facts–including your spelling–straight! 😡😡

  994. (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! 😡😡

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?
