Hasn't that place been under democratic control since almost any of us have been born? NYC and LA have taken steps to reduce violence, what has Chicago done?
To me the issue I found is that city is actually quite racist towards blacks passively overall. |
Well both NYC and LA are also run by Democrats so it looks like Chicago is just electing the wrong type of Democrats. Also I'm pretty sure the poverty rate in Chicago is much higher then it is in Toronto. Plus its a lot easier to get a gun in Chicago then in Toronto. High poverty rates and easy access to weapons always lead to a high homicide rate that is pretty much the case is all cities with high homicide rates. Anyway St Louis, Baltimore, New Orleans and Detroit had higher homicide rates then Chicago in 2016.
