      Loop, North neighborhoods within the city limits, northwest neighborhoods in the city limits, those are okay. Most of the suburbs are okay. Elgin's east side is awful. Aurora (mostly the heart of the city limits) is Flint/Detroit-looking. The outside edges of Aurora are great though. Joliet is the same as Aurora.

      Gary, Hammond, and Calumet City. Awful. Almost as bad as some of the south side of Chicago.

      Oh, and Rockford is just terrible too.


      If Burd's daughter is looking at the City proper, I'd hazard that she's looking at Near North Side, Lincoln Park, Logan Square, Avondale, North Center, Lakeview (aka Wrigleyville), Uptown, Lincoln Square, Edgewater, Roger's Park, Lincoln Square, North Park, Forest Glen.

      If I were a betting man, Lincoln Park, Lakeview, or Logan Square is where she'll land.

        My aunt lives in Evanston. I only have visited once or twice as a wee child. That's a decent neighborhood, yeah?

                It's sorta like me telling clients, "Oh, I'm from Detroit" and then having to clarify, "I live in the suburbs. No, I don't have to open carry when I leave my apartment."
                Andersonville. She likes the neighborhood. But then, she lived in Washington Heights Manhattan for a while during college, so Andersonville probably seems pretty tame to her. It seemed like a nice neighborhood to me.

                And it's not white, 25-year old employed women who are getting killed in numbers in Chicago. If they were white middle class people being shot, the outrage would have begun long ago.

                  Frankly I don't understand why the population puts up with it. Not sure if Boston is any whiter than Chicago but when it had a spike it homicides 25 years ago even though the violence was primarily in the low income neighborhoods the city went balls to the wall to crack down and clean up the problem. Proportionally Chicago is about 4X the size. That would equate to 125 murders a year, but the city is usually around 50.

                    Exactly. When DC was the "murder capital of the world" Georgetown was the safest place to live in the US.

                              To go with the recent theme in this thread, I'm listening to the news while winding down for the night. In Minneapolis there has been 120 shootings thus far this year; 80 of them have taken place in North Minneapolis, the section of the city that's pretty much delegated for the poor people. It's also where the BLM did its Occupy style protest outside the police station after the officer killed a man. Had these same numbers appeared in Northeast Minneapolis (Hipster Mecca these days) or anywhere south of I-394, the city would be under martial law right now.

                                Frankly, BLM can go F itself. Clean up the gangs, which are mainly black. BLM indeed.

                                That being said, I agree with your assessment about coverage/lack of coverage on the shootings.
