Chicago is the new Detroit

Not yet but it's getting that way.

Then again there is a lot of revitalization happening in Detroit.

There's more lake front property to be had around Detroit from Grosse Point down to just east of Bloomfield Hills ... and then everything west on Michigan Ave past Ann Arbor through Irish Hills is booming around Detroit. Selene, Clinton, Adrian, etc., all through there all the way to South Bend.

Chicago is done internally. They're about to be where Detroit was 30 or 40 years ago. Sure, some of the burbs around there are still decent but the bad element is spreading fast. People are getting away from Chicago as far as possible. A lot of tbem are actually headed across the northern border into Wisconsin, and, of course, quite a few are running for cover down to Indian, south of South Bend.
