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.

Exactly!

Not sure what his agenda is. Or why he obsesses over me ALL the time when my original comment was answering a simple question someone else asked that had nothing to do with him at all.

But if he thinks he is going to change how the world views this city I say good luck lolol They know what goes on here. I see the videos and the news and I talk to people from all over the world every single day and I see the hundreds of comments each day. People are not stupid!

People see the usual insane amount of crime we have. Then they saw the insanity happening here with the illegals coming in added to it. And now they see the no cash bail crap! People see the things this mayor says! People see the crime footage endlessly as they city has SO much of it to show!

We are laughed at and mocked each day and people fear coming here NOTHING is going to change that until the city votes for people who will make the changes needed.

And that is never going to happen,

If that is "never going to happen", then do the sensible thing for your own sanity and move to Florida already. You evidently can no longer stand it in Chicagoland, so exercise your right to move! Why stick around if nothing is going to change? Seems like a logical thing to do.

How does where I live effect you hmmm? Me leaving the city is not going to change the reputation this city has worldwide.

This thread is about Chicago crime, yet people like you and the other person keep obsessing over me when I simply answer questions asked by other people that have nothing at all to do with you.

Stick to the rules of this forum and stick to the topic instead of obsessing over me 24/7

If you really want things to improve, then encouraging people to not spend money here isn't the way to do it.

Shouting from the rooftops about how bad a place is, without any ideas for solutions, will only hurt the situation more.

So, by deduction, I assume people who do that WANT the city to fail. And those people don't get any respect from me. Nor do they provide anything of value to this thread.
