Oh stop with the hyperbole. IL’s population decline is largely contributed to a shrinking population in southern/central IL. Loss of huge companies in Peoria/Decatur (Caterpillar), etc has ripped away opportunities down there.

Chicago is fine. Yeah the pension budget issue is big problem but it’s still a huge global hub for tons of industries. It’s becoming the tech hub of the midwest. It’s not just going to turn into Detroit next year ??

I gave actual expenses that have been reported ad nauseum. The Sun-Times and Tribune have even reported on the vacancies downtown. That's not hyperbole.

Are they not taxpayers? The state is still carrying the outstanding debt on the current Sox park and Soldier Field's rebuild.

Because it's "becoming the tech hub of the Midwest?" I've seen St Louis and Columbus make that claim, too. Chicago has a ton of problems at the moment.
