Meh, as long as we focus on that we buy into the retarded narrative that if Chicago’s population isn’t rising, then “clearly the whole city is dying and full of gangs and shootings and there is no hope”
Marothisu’s painstaking efforts have revealed that Chicago is simply reprogramming itself (perhaps faster than any other) into a wealthier city, which naturally has fewer people, and a shrinking blue collar/Industrial workforce, hence the exodus of African Americans.
Chicago’s is the exact opposite story as third world cities which are booming in population while filling up with poor migrants. Chicago is slowly shrinking while getting richer. What’s needed is for pathways for wealth inflows to open up to the South side. That happens when political barriers get out of the way (ie stop trying to hold every development hostage by your “Community Benefits Agreement” crap) and when safety is no longer perceived to be an issue. The potential is vast.
