Nice to see an article addressing crime in Chicago from residents’ perspective, but unfortunately, filtered through the lens of Relitters. It is clear from the article that Relitters are trying to avoid the stigma of ‘white flight’ all over again but that’s clearly what is happening.

Why should anyone stay in a city controlled by union racketeers that fails on every level
