…Yes.
The 100K-200K household group is definitely increasing at a good pace.
But overall, median Chicago remains much much closer to the middle-class and upper middle-class American household. That’s not going to be dramatically different within the next 10 or 20 years.
The city of Chicago has a long way to go to reach DC, Boston, Seattle or San Francisco as far as per capita household income goes. There’s also not a dominant elite social scene of the super wealthy and celebrities like NYC (or LA which is a poorer metro)
As for Griffin, he’s actively meddled in media and politics to the point where the average folk are allowed to have not-so-nice opinions about the man.
