IS hard, that's why none of those things have happened.
guns: even if illinois outlawed guns altogether this afternoon, indiana and all of its shady gun dealers are still only a 20 minute drive away.
jobs: this one seems wildly disingenuous on your part. you were shitting all over amazon for considering chicago as a place to plant tens of thousands of good-paying jobs. if you're talking about "guy with a GED making $35/hour on the line at a union plant" type of jobs then you can forget it. those jobs went to mexico, china, and robots, and they're not coming back.
schools: keeping schools that are 75% under-enrolled open is a completely irresponsible waste of tax dollars.
mental health clinics: i would agree that mental health is critically important, particularly for those less fortunate, but i'm not sure how more mental health clinics would fix chicago's gang culture.
