While there is definitely cause for big picture concern....anyone too scared to even visit Chicago is a puss of epic proportions.

Paying money to back out of a trip because they might die?? LMAO. Do you know how ridiculous that is?

I think it is ridiculous that people have to fear being killed just because they want to visit a city yes. But that is what Chicago has become. And the people here have nobody to blame but themselves

It would suck to be one of those people. Cowering in their Volvos sucking their thumbs.

These are the same people that call liberals soy boys.

The irony.

And it affects you how? Why do you care? You are crying about a bunch of people you do not even know. How do you know they are not liberals??

Why do you think people being killed is no big deal. See that attitude is part of the problem and why this city deserves the reputation it has. and why people and companys are leaving. And why people do not come here

I will tell you exactly why I care. While robberies and auto thefts are up, and it's a problem, murders are actually down 2 years in a row. And it's people like YOU and Fox News who revel in amplifying and spreading every negative news story about Chicago as opportunities to scream about Democrats etc.

Meanwhile there are thousands of tourists and locals flooding downtown every day, working, enjoying the city, running the lakefront etc.

There are problems for sure. We don't have enough cops. And yeah taxes are high like they are in most big cities.

But it's YOURS and others negative crap that is making it even worse. Don't you see you are contributing to the problem and not being a part of any solutions??

Exactly crime is way up and people are still being killed. And now we have illegals casing even more issues. And Nobody mentioned Fox news, that is your obsession not mine. But if they do report this crap then good for them as it is reality and nothing you say is going to change that.

And the media NOT Fox but CHICAGO media has said Chicago unlike other places is struggling to get people to visit now. Do not blame me for the insanity going on here. it is people like you that vote for it. So enjoy and stop cryong to me. I do not want to hear it.

And you are right about one thing we do not have enough cops. Who would want to be a cop here!!

Like ALL the other times you cry to me. YOU are NOT the one I was talking to. I was answering someone else on here which has NOTHING to do with you at all

People all over the world fear coming here and they have every right to feel that way. if you do not like it guess what? It changes nothing

Your leadership caused the crimes, not Fox. And if it wasn't clear, this is exclusively a Chicago crime thread. You made the choice to read what's in it.

"From January to June, hotel revenue in Chicago hit $1.12 billion, up 24% from last year, and 102% from pre-pandemic 2019, setting a new record for the city."

https://www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...nue-tax-money/

I assume it is out-of-towners booking those hotel rooms.
