Is this some admittance? If CNN said that? It would be labeled Fake News. But anyway, most Red states like Texas (not their major cities Red) the state has NO CORPORATE TAXES. THAT IS WHY THE MOVE THERE AND EXPAND THERE. The rest of us have to make decisions to move to these jobs where sprawling office parks are the norm and suburban sprawl growing.

Some want a America to have apart die off. A has-been liberal wasteland. I sure hope we can overcome a North of decline and stagnation. Then money goes to sprawl the New Red South and rebuild it built in flood zones again ... every few years as a new normal.

But a expanding NW Indiana still bodes well for Chicagoland as possibly Gary will even gentrify in the future as still part of Chicagoland. NW Indiana's life-blood -- IS STILL A VIBRANT CHICAGO. Wishing it's demise is a double-edged sword in problems no magic wand will fix .....

Why doesn't Indianapolis become a new Houston, Dallas or Austin?

Indianapolis is already on its way to being the next Austin or Denver. All the growth and opportunity here bodes well for the future. Will be exciting to live here and watch it unfold.

Great as it is the premier city of Indiana. Maybe it can boast over Ohio cities too? But Illinois still has Chicago that is the motor of the Indiana NW. Surprisingly if it is so superior? Corporate America should not have abandoned it once the steel mills went. But re-established it with a new Corporate industrial corridor? It still left Indiana as all the Midwest/Northeast with a rust-belt.
I have no preference for Indiana over Illinois or visa versa. But Chicagoland is another animal that some politically? Have a need to see fail for a variety of reasons that again.... would hurt both states more then help.

I see Indianapolis as more a Houston built then Chicago? But still may suffer as a Oklahoma City and Kansas City as ..... not sunbelt but so close. Still comes down to Corporate taxing states vs those with none or very low.

I'd wish all our cities becoming all they can be. I hope for the whole Northeast/Midwest rise again. Rather in the same boat overall on no longer Corporate America's favorite regions to invest.

I'd move to Chicago and build factories in the South Side and put the corporate offices in The Loop. Moving away from the poisoned water should embarrass the anti-regulation Red States, especially the ever-redder Michigan. Putting factories in an economically devastated area would be good PR and free advertising on the news.

They have the media, education, and most of government on their side, so can be more corrupt than anyone. They are MORE corrupt, but you're right there are corrupt elsewhere also.

So yes, it would appear you are deluding yourself.

The water in Chicago is dirty too. Its no clean sparkling spring. You probably would go out of business with your decisions

No, you just don't like what I say. Many people in Maryland seem to be delusional, especially when they are so dependent on government.

You are delusional.

In fact, Chicago sources its drinking water deep offshore from Lake Michigan, one of the largest freshwater lakes in the world. Compared to other cities it is clean and tastes good.
