I think you're probably giving one person too much credit here. There are a lot of different reasons that Chicago continues to attract certain businesses. Although Rahm has been a great cheerleader there are other assets that are at play. The City remains attractive to businesses due to its transportation network, great cultural life, strong business culture, affordable cost of living, and other quality of life strengths that young workers want. If he wasn't there, the City would continue to attract businesses. The only real danger that I see is the political disfunction at the State level, and uncertainty that is trickling down to the City.
