There is a difference between a city slowing down and slowly growing (population steady) per year and there is a difference between a city DROPPING 150,000 in population during the census period. Even when accounting births in population figures CHICAGO DROPPED 150,000!!! Thats insane!!! yikes!
The way people actually vote with the feet is more telling than a stupid city-data poll rigged by the hundreds of bored midwestern trash who have nothing better to do than post here and vote these stupid polls all day. as ive said, I can pull up actual polls of the most desirable city to live and Chicago is always at the bottom. No wonder the population is declining so badly! Nobody wants to live there. Why do so many Chicagoans move to LA but LA people barely move to Chicago?
The Chicago area is the 7th fastest growing in the country. It's really pretty simple. Those who want to live in LA do, and those who want to live in Chicago do. It's a free country, people are able to choose.
there is nothing European about such an ugly city like Chicago. I don't think you've been to Europe if you think any of their beautiful cities are anything like Chi-town.
European cities buck the modern trend of skyscrapers in the city centre. London is starting to build one, but it has some critics--the most famous being Prince Charles, who criticizes the obscuring of London's church steeples with modern glass wall monsters.
The Tour Montparnasse was an attempt in the late-'60s to build a modern core in Paris, but after the tower was finished there was protest against destroying the historical core of Paris.
Well, if you've just entered the thread, you would just have to read through a bit.
You seem to have some fellow Californians who are very uninformed about the rest of the country.
When you're a mile high in credit card debt, its kind of hard to experience anywhere else.
