I was never on a real yacht in my life.... LOL
You were on a RANT.... I felt Time-Out. CHICAGO IS STILL VIBRANT. Its History in GREAT HOUSING STOCK AND DOWNTOWN THAT OUR BIG BUSINESS and Investors built and CONTINUES TO BUILD UP AND OUT.
Apparently you have a problem with a Democratic Republic and Corporate America Building this Nation too?
My 360°s show JUST A FEW EXAMPLES OF CHICAGO'S MIDDLE-CLASS HOUSING. BUILT AND LIVED IN AND PAID FOR BY THE MIDDLE-CLASS.
I threw in how a EASTERN CITY was Built in a TOTAL OTHER STYLE CHOICE OF HOUSING FOR ITS MASSES. AS PHILLY IS 65% ROW HOMES.... AS CHICAGO IS THE OPPOSITE OF FEW ROW HOMES....
I gave WEB-SIGHTS SOME NO DOUBT.... who did the (MATH) pun intended. STILL SEE A VIBRANT CITY IN STATISTICS BY (NUMBERS IN MATH)
The US census gives the Downtown Chicago population growth numbers.... (Math)
Again Do you realize NYC was virtually bankrupt in 1975? A reluctant President Ford gave Felder loans that basically was BAILOUT MONEY???? NYC's Crime skyrocketed Police and other service CUTS.
The Business community Right and Left pressured Ford who first said NO.
I NEVER QUESTIONED OR DENIED YOU NUMBERS (Math). Mere saw BREAK-TIME. TIME FOR SOME POSITIVES ON MY FAVORITE CITY......
Apparently you saw my post was merely about you and.... MATH.

Apparently YOU ASSUME I left the city because OF LOATHINS AS OTHERS AND POLITICAL BLAME.
No it was well over 20 years ago when family issues with my parents in my HOMETOWN in PA. Had me make a decision. Nothing to do with the city. I LOVED IT AND ADOPTED IT. I wish had not left. Once married back in PA ect. Going back never came.
A lot of ASSUMING in this thread TO CONDEMN A STILL GREAT AMERICAN CITY.... DESPITE ITS ISSUES.
Some people posting MIGHT NOT HAVE EVEN VISITED THIS CITY... JUST USE ITS ISSUES FOR >>POLITICAL REASONINGS OF .... SEE SEE. WHAT YOUR SOCIALISM HAS DONE.... Well the Business community STILL BUILT A AWESOME DOWNTOWN FROM SOME DECAY OF THE 60s. Back UP to its GLOBAL STATUS TODAY and being a 50 MILLION visitor/tourist city.....
Also long before that. Its GREAT NEIGHBORHOODS. MOST STILL LOOK GREAT TODAY. With its POWER-LINE POLES ALL IN ALLEYS unlike so many other cities with them on front lawns and can be in front of a new home..... Well built with fairly strict Codes and zoning and standard set-backs. NOT LETTING DEVELOPERS CALL LL THE SHOTS.
HOUSTON .... was the opposite. No zoning ect. It has its share of Bond and Pension debt too...⤵
Houston Sight gives CHICAGO'S DEBT BREAKDOWN AND NYC'S too. NYC'S IS SOPPING TOO. BUT IT IS One of the wealthiest cities in the World. Chicago's is worst yes....
