Cmon Hoops, your implications here are silly. Wrigley has always been sold out if the Cubs are even semi competitive. Summer in Chicago has always been the best of any major city. Lightfoot has zero to do with that.
lol this tuesday was the deadliest day in chicago all year. 8 people killed by gunfire. your little circle you run is largely immune to it. just like my little circle where i live. but a true dem shouldn't take solace in that and should want/demand better for the entire region

Illinois Loses Population For The 7th Year In A Row
Illinois lost almost 2% of its residents from 2010 to 2020. West Virginia was the only state to see a higher rate of population loss.
yes stl is dying because they've elected the same dems for half a century. 600,000 plus have moved out of the crime-ridden city to the burbs. the farther west the more conservative the safer. just reality.
Virgin Hotel, Loews, J. Parker, Tanta, London House. Honestly, I love all of them. No such thing as a bad rooftop bar in Chicago.

Well that and riverboats got replaced by trains and trucks. Just sayin
the comments are interesting.Chicago has lost 3,000 people in the last decade. Most of Illinois' population loss is coming from the St. Louis area.
Where Illinois Is Losing Population
More people left our state than any other in the 2010s. Part of the problem: Unlike elsewhere, there's been no urban growth to offset rural decline.

miami. otherwise the vast majority are dems. so is there a link between dem policies and high homelessness numbers and crime?
Not sure how many times this has to be said to people who like to use Chicago as their example of murder rate. The murders for the vast majority of Chicago happen in 3 gang infested neighborhoods.
Chicago Tribune reports that as of 6/15, murders (totaling 294) are 21 more than all of 2020. https://abc7chicago.com/chicago-police-department-shootings-in-memorial-day-weekend/10726969/
it's like talking to a wall
so what. that's the same as everywhere including saint louis. it's a handful of areas north in the city. there aren't murders in clayton, ladue, frontenac, chesterfield, town and country etc. the city only has 300,000 people out of a region of 2.5 mil so the rate is high bc of those neighborhoods calculated from 300,000. the murder rate is based on 300,000 in the city and excludes 2.2 mil. but that's all immaterial to the politics of the dems leading cities that give rise to these high crime rates. so again is it dems policies that give rise to high crime and homelessness?Not sure how many times this has to be said to people who like to use Chicago as their example of murder rate. The murders for the vast majority of Chicago happen in 3 gang infested neighborhoods.

Not sure what your point is. Cities have more crime than podunk areas with low populations. Cities have higher homeless populations because there are more resources in a city. Resources as in more people to panhandle from and probably more warm places to sleep. So, yeah, places like Indy and Bloomington will have higher homeless populations and more crime than places like Shoals.
Okay. Well, I'm just judging by what I see here. They've done a great job getting people vaccinated. I don't see anything "crazy" about her. I also think it's hilarious that Chicago is this boogeyman for every redneck in the US, when Orlando has a higher murder rate than Chicago. and when it isn't nearly as dangerous as many other major cities in the US.
not necessarily. the crime rates vary significantly amongst cities of similar populations. homelessness as well. policy and urban planning impact both

Okay, I admit I was wrong. I saw the article that said May was down 25 percent from last year. I misread it.

And?Man Shot In Chicago Loop Near Wabash And Wacker, Window Also Shot Out Several Blocks Away
A man was almost killed in a shooting right downtown overnight, and we have learned it was not the only gunfire nearby.
i don't think it is worse than saint louis. i think the mayors sound like twins tho and i again question if it's their policies that give rise to this stuff. doc chicago is a fantastic city. i love it. i'm again confining my posts to mayoral (to some extent state) policies
