I travel to several times each year, no worries here. A few bad neighborhoods but most big cities have those.

Chicago is usually one of the best cities in the US in most rankings.

What exactly is your beef?

maybe a "best city" if you are a white liberal

"Chicago has more homicides than any other city in the United States — more than New York and Los Angeles combined."

Number is high because Chicago has a big population, when you compare the homicide rate to other US cities it doesn’t even make the top 20.

I also love Chicago Jeff,my brother lived there for years and I spent a lot of time there. But if you have not noticed the severity of their violence,or choose to ignore like Rahm,then you are truly the snowflake that you are characterized as.

I don’t think Rham has ignored it he’s just not been very effective at reducing it in the problem areas.

the 500 murder victims a year, and their families, will be very relieved to know that you don’t see any problems there.

Spence says there’s nothing to see, so let’s move along.
