The Google machine says Memphis, Baltimore, Birmingham, and St. Louis all have Democrat mayors.
Hard to imagine Chicago not being on that list.
They’re all mostly under democratic “leadership”…& all 5 have one thing in common…
Downtown St Louis is just flat out terrible. Had a work conference there a few years ago. We went to a bar across the street from the hotel and come to find out that the owner had been murdered in the parking lot the previous year. Empty office space all over downtown, shady looking people loitering all over the place. We were highly encouraged not to walk anywhere after dark because it wasn’t safe. This was right before COVID and I can’t imagine it’s gotten much better since.
Where does this notion that Chicago is super dangerous come from? I'd say New Orleans is more dangerous than Chicago.
Lol, swing and a miss. Hey at least you tried !
I had the same experience in downtown Detroit. I was staying at the Westin downtown near the courthouse
This is going exactly how you'd figure
Im sure its per capita.
Last year, St. Louis, Missouri was named the most dangerous city in America. This year it was once again named the most dangerous city in the US, with the highest per-capita crime cost on the list—$8,457.
The narrative that Chicago is some crime demon infested hellhole is largely a product of media highlighting issues contained largely to one particularly poor area of the South Side. I am in the Loop, and all around Chicago every couple of weeks, and so is my wife. Never once felt unsafe. Like any other big city, you need to be constantly aware of your surroundings, but it's no better or worse than most other big cities.
Try 4 Blue and 1 Red
I have stayed downtown Chicago 3 times in the past few years and it blew me away how clean/nice the majority of the city was.
We took our youngest daughter by there since she's a MJ fan.
My sister lived there by herself for 15 years and said she never felt unsafe.
They're the perpetual targets of racist magas who have never actually been to any of them in the first place?
San Fran will be up there soon too I am sure.
I dunno, I just found a 3BR/3BA for a hair under $1M that we could swing. 🤣 🤣 🤣
I didn't push any narrative. I stated a list and stated I was surprised by 2 smallish southern towns being on it. No side chosen here bud.
Something the receipts show we agree on the facts. First foremost individuals should learn the responsibilities of a local mayor and stop thinking his duties are the same as the Governor of the State, the House representatives or 2 senators.
