We have a winner. Thank you for actually suggesting something reasonable. I hoped someone would. Metro Chicago is about 9.5 million, bigger than most people think. Your figure is city proper(?) which would be like using just Manhattan for NY or such. Mexico City 21m New York 20m Los Angeles 13m Chicago 9.5m DFW 7m But your ratio still works - roughly double. Chicago is indeed a much higher murder rate than NY, but lower than Detroit, New Orleans, and several others, and way below cities in some other countries. My "midrange" comment was in response to the claim Chicago has a "world class" crime rate, which it doesn't That aside, I like your ideas, though I think worthy of note is the effect of gentrification on NY, the difference in income disparity, and the effects of the "drug war" both ways. Good start anyway. Edited by nNeo, Jun 8 2016, 08:41 PM.

Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary. #MAGA #wallsnotwars | |

Did you know that Al Gore's father voted against the Civil Rights Act? |

Who are these you guys? Many people here aren't old enough or not born when the Civil Rights Act passed. |

And those who didn't want Obamacare passed.....outcome based people not feelings based....unlike some people here I actually like black people and think they as any American are more than capable of being productive members of society as individuals and not in need of some effete white man's handouts or sympathy simply based on the color of one's skin.... |
