There’s seriously something wrong with Gregg Hinz. I presume he’s just a conservative curmudgeon who hates Illinios Democratic bend. And maybe he thinks by constantly insulting the city and pointing out it’s problems, we’ll all wake up and see the world his way. But sometimes you gotta wonder if the corporate national Crain’s instructs them to write certain articles. Is Crain’s owned by Sinclair media, or some other ultra conservative company? One that may hate Chicago for being a sanctuary city, and a liberal stronghold?

I saw the negative spin and rolled my eyes too, but not because he is a “conservative curmudgeon”. To the contrary, I think he is probably a tad liberal.
I think these journalists have to write pieces that have a bit of tension in them just to draw interest. Journalism is a business. That’s why it’s not entirely to be trusted.
Chicago’s strong showing in the $200k (higher rate as a percentage than NY and LA but lower than some smaller big cities) or above category already shows that Greg is wrong in suggesting that people will bail on Chicago in droves once their income is higher
