I apoligse

i wonder why chicago has not become like that yet?

I read yesterday that Chicago has 200,000 less people than ten years ago, and has lost almost a million citizens since its peak. Strange, as I think we tend to think of cities as always growing.

I don't know if linking to news sites is allowed in the rules about linking to other sites. Is so, I am sorry.

yes johnny we have declined 7% since 2000 and i will tell you why-

highest sales tax in the nation
highest gas tax in the nation
rampant corruption
pay to play politics
police abuse/brutality
taxes on bottled water, soda, amusement, and tires
one of the highest liquor taxes
one of the highest cigarette taxes
outdated public transportation

these are the major downfalls to a city that is close to defaulting on its payments and have a billion dollar deficit in the city budget, we wont even get into the state.
