This is 2023 be happy you moved away from Chicago I just read today OCTOBER 14, 2023 that CHICAGO IS THE MOST CORRUPT CITY ISN’T THAT A NICE COMPLIMENT TO GET‼️‼️💯👍🏻😳😱

I have left and returned….last time was almost twenty years ago and I shan’t ever make that mistake ever again🎉

No way has Chicago deteriorated. Billions have been spent on real estate development in formerly blighted neighborhoods to the point where ordinary middle and lower middle income people can no longer afford to live there. Don't confuse the fiscal problems of local governments with the state of the entities these govern. The fiscal problems of local governmental entities largely are due to unfunded pension obligations contracted for decades ago. When these obligations finally sunset and funded pensions kick in, the fiscal condition of local governments will improve. If you look at the "Streets of America" Chicago videos, you will get a better idea of how things have changed. Many neighborhoods still have a lot of old buildings on their commercial streets and a lot of old houses and apartment buildings, but blighted buildings with no economic use are not allowed to stand. If there are boarded up buildings anywhere, it is because the city has determined that these are rehabilitatable and can put to use in the future when residential and commercial patterns change. I grew up in Chicago in the1950s and 1960s. I left in the 1970s. Living there again would give me nothing but a sense of futility, or call it a feeling of having gone nowhere, but I long have followed what is going on there. The internet makes it easy.

@@Georgian1717- Hope springs eternal.

Correct.

... Go Lane Tech.. 1967... LAST SPRING...

That's what I thought! He needs to add an addendum.

Look at the cars on the road. This is what Chicago looked like in 2009-2014 in terms of the makes and models of vehicles. Got some early nineties beaters still clinging on to life, mixed in with some brand new looking 2014 Toyota Camries and riced out Infinity G35 coupes.

Money, coupled with crass stupudity.

I could never go back in time. Food and water 🤮

Aww are you gonna cry?

Here you're again showing your true colors.

I smell a hater, out of this entire hour long video the only thing you question is the one significant thing he said about a black person. It bothered you that much that you posted twice in this thread about it. I can bet my last dollar you didn’t like Obama, I can bet my last dollar you also thought the police killing George Floyd was justified too. How I know is because you can smell a hater a mile away.

There's some rule that says you have to have statues 🙄🤔??

Research the facts or go cry about it haha

You're creating strawmen to argue. Turn fox News off you'll live longer.

You sound like a hater, I swear these people can have all the success and as soon as one black person is named for something significant they began to hate. Like damn can’t anybody else shine Jesus Christ, is that the only thing that bugged you. You didn’t care about how they demolished a lot of black neighborhoods and the segregation that was happening, the only thing that bug you was the black guy who settled on the river. Your a true hater my friend.

@@redrobbo1896 he’s just a hater, they only want to hear about how black people are doing bad or suffering, no problems with that. As soon as it’s something significant a black person does they began to hate. It’s just sad to be honest.

@@iwouldliketoorderanumber1b79 it's just lame honestly. It's history, I'm a fan of history. I never knew a black dude founded chicago. I learned something new, no reason to hate on that because I'm white.
