Safe as any big city in the USA. Crimes like this take place everywhere.

    Nobody has normalized this sort of behavior. This was a news story because it was newsworthy.

What do you want to hear? Have you ever been to the CBOT building at 11PM? I have, within the last couple weeks. The south Loop is and always has been a ghost town after business hours. There aren't restaurants there, just office buildings. The CBOT building in particular --- I had an office a block from there in the Monadnock building for around 10 years, and even in 2007 I'd have been nervous there super late at night. It's a big city. People get mugged here. I'm not claiming otherwise. But when people talk about out-of-control Chicago crime, they're talking about the shootings, 100%. This isn't San Francisco. There isn't a narrative about crime here where like, nobody can operate a Walgreens here because of organized shoplifting rings (I'm sure they exist!), or out-of-control homeless tent encampments and street drug use. The narrative here is gangs randomly and prolifically shooting people in gang squabbles. And that narrative plays out in Lawndale, Austin, Garfield Park, Englewood, Grand Crossing, and Chatham, not Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Logan Square, and Bucktown.
