That pesky Chicago Tribune! They hate Chicago! They never report anything!!!
I could be wrong, but it seems some people are annoyed by the frequency of doom and gloom compared to more positive pieces. The loss is a loss, but we've spent the better part of a decade hearing about drops of 80,000+ per year.

For the total loss to be less than a quarter of that over 10 years is quite a miss, but that underestimation won't garner nearly as much attention (even though it's arguably still not great news) because they'd been hyping a much worse result.
