Dems ruined a once-great city. You’ve been warned…
I was born in Chicago Heights and raised a family in the city of Chicago for 25 years. I bleed the blue and orange of the Bears. So, I take no pleasure in detailing the miserable failures of the Windy City.
But…it’s necessary.
Why?
Because Chicago is the reality that the Democrats want for the rest of America. In that regard, it is fitting and proper that they host their convention there. Here are the five most important failures of Chicago that bear relevance for all Americans:
1. Crime — Chicago is arguably the most dangerous city in the developed world. For example, Chicago leads America in carjackings. That particularly terrifying form of theft has tripled in the last decade in Chicago. Chicago has suffered the most murders in America for a stunning 12 straight years, even though New York is over three times larger in population. Regarding overall thefts, Chicago takes a bronze medal with the third worst rate in America, just behind Baltimore of “The Wire” fame and Minneapolis, run by vice presidential nominee Tim Walz.
2. Population Loss – JB Pritzker’s Illinois is the third worst state in America for population loss, as masses of former residents (like me) flee the high taxes, stifling regulations, and crime created by near total Democratic rule. Chicago itself is down to only 2.66 million people, fewer residents than over a century ago in 1920!
3. Quality of Life – perhaps the most appalling and depressing statistic of all pertaining to Chicago involves longevity.
