At this rate how could it not

demographics have never lied

Is it officer robert hours yet?

Nah Chicago isn't a "one industry" town. But the whole state of Illinois has been fucked to death by unions (especially public sector ones). Chicago will only fail when the whole state does.

It's operating on a sports team and pizza based economy

And you wonder why it's nigger central

Chicagoanon here, you're already seeing the white flight. A couple rich whites all flocked to the city, but all the middle class whites are leaving the suburbs for Indianapolis. Once we're gone, the rich cant keep using the cops our tax dollars pay for to stay safe from the niggers our tax dollars give welfare. It'll be a bloodbath, and the few surviving rich whites will probably go to indy and fuck that place up too.

Does the city have some sort of economic boom or so? Haven't heard much about that place lately

It's gonna be Detroit on steroids. Looking forward to Great Chicago Fire 2: Backdraft Boogaloo.

There's an economic boom because it's a safer place to live and there's less taxes for businesses.

Actually, the demographics of Chicago have been improving and gentrification is beginning to cause the Revrunds & Co to start panicking about affordable housing. You've got a lot of business that has moved in, the rich areas have skyrocketed, a lot of the old shitty neighborhoods in the core have become saturated with Yuppies, the next ring out has all the middle class folks that work the restaurants, bars, dealerships, etc that serve the new money rolling through.

True story: about thirty years ago my parents bought a house. Modest four bedroom, standard lot, white blue collar neighborhood on the North Side. They did about what you'd expect a middle class couple to do as they raised kids: kitchen has granite and pendant lights, basement got finished, bathrooms got a facelift, cheap jacuzzi. They retired over the summer and sold. They listed it for around 600k, it was on the market under 72 hours, four offers, ended up taking just under 640k from a single woman in her 30s with 50% down.

No. Right now Chicago is gentrifying all of the nig areas (west and southwest) but not really the south side as much. UChicago basically owns all of the land from the park to the lake, so it'll probably end up with essentially a runescape wilderness line where if you cross that you're open to gang warfare. The poor people being driven out by gentrification are already flocking to where I grew up (northwest suburbs), it's seen a large rise in crime rates after I left (around 4 years ago). Too much business and tech companies now in chicago for it to become like Detroit where as Detroit was based around literally one industry.
