Read the comments on this post. No one here wants to hear it. People in Europe, SV, god-knows-where have all kinds of facts and figures they just spent two minutes googling that prove there’s nothing to see here and Chicago is fine.
- one_level_deep 3y agoI live in Chicago and have no idea what you are talking about. The local newspapers and tv are constantly talking about these issues. Crime and CPS were by far the primary discussions in the recent election. Who and where are these people refusing to talk about them?
- djfobbz 3y agoLove your comment. Being from the Midwest, I'm in complete disbelief reading some of these comments. They seem to be completely out of touch with reality!
- commandlinefan 3y agoThere's a comment upstream that says "this person's opinions are similar to those of Fox News and the NY Post, so it should be ignored". That doesn't bode well for the actual people who have to live in Chicago.
- one_level_deep 3y agoOr maybe we can see through the national news' political agenda and sensationalism. The people who actually live in Chicago just elected a progressive mayor who ran against a "tough-on-crime" candidate. Maybe those people (the ones living in the city) see things differently than you (someone not living in the city).
- Izkata 3y agoThe vote was 49% to 51% when he conceded, and he really shouldn't have - the uncounted mail-in ballots were 3x the gap in the counted votes. Also that race was far far closer than normal with tough-on-crime-vs-progressive usually is around here. Sentiment here is definitely shifting in favor of tough-on-crime.
