#1 So who’ll stay in Chicago now?

Only the cognitively impaired or deceased. No different from Atlana, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, or any other urban, democratic stronghold.

#2 Sad. So very sad ...
Just this week, my daughter and I watched "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" - a John Hughes movie that he described in interviews as a love letter to Chicago. Chicago as it was.
Reading things like this (and others) and then watching that movie was so very sad. The city that Ferris and his two friends romped through for a magical day doesn't seem to be there any more.

#3 Back in the end of the last century, I thought of Chicago as the quintessential American city. At the time it was a compliment.

#4 I've been to Chicago.
I'll just leave it at that.
I'm convinced that part of the reason for the determination to pauperize the middle class is to keep taxpayers from being able to move away from the "f*ckedup zones". You won't be able to afford to leave, and nobody would buy your house anyway.

#5 When I drive out west on a road trip, I try to never get closer to Chicago than 50 miles. Even if I have to cross the lower peninsula of Michigan, the Mackinac Bridge, and the upper peninsula to do that. Besides safety, avoiding Chicago means avoiding the perpetual road construction and traffic jams.

#6 "But street crime is as problematic for the papers as ShotSpotter is for Johnson. It is to be avoided politely lest they offend prominent and wealthy Democrats like Gov. Commodius Maximus." A classic put-down.

#7 Who'll Stay in Chicago Now?

The parasites and their enablers.

#8 Who'll stay in Chicago? The migrants that the Dems are putting up there. Why not? They're getting apartments, cars, cell phones n cash. Great deal if you can get it. Sorry citizens, you don't qualify.
