...what many have argued is the result of the city's skyrocketing rates of crime

Too bad authors always have to stick in caveats such as "what many have argued." Quit equivocating and just call a spade a spade; tell it like it is: "Out of control violent crime is forcing companies to flee Chicongo."

It's also out of control property and business taxes: the only ones that stay are companies that "negotiate" big tax breaks, i.e. payoff Dem politicians.

Google just bought the Thompson Center from the state. I wonder what that purchase earned them in payback.

“Too bad authors always have to stick in caveats such as “what many have argued.” “

I wrote over fifty articles for the local paper. I wasn’t allowed to make any definitive statement as truth, despite the fact I was a subject matter expert. I had to either quote someone else, or I had to put in a caveat such as “what many have argued.” I wasn’t sure of the reasoning, but I suspect that the paper was afraid of being sued if someone writing for it made a definitive statement and that turned out not to be 100 percent accurate. (They were total cowards.)

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot has defended the city in the wake of the exodus, arguing business leaders such as Kempczinski don't have a firm understanding of the situation... "If you want a great culture in your company you have to have people that love being on the team and they don't want to live in a violent area," Rabine said. "They don't want to live in a place where their kids can't walk to school safely and their wives and kids can't go shopping in a beautiful environment like Michigan Avenue which was once the safest place you could ever go shopping.

Lori Light-head WANTS to reside over a hellhole because that's who she is... Step two? She'll want the federal government to step in and provide safety (on US taxpayer's dime) so she can give more to criminals, thugs, whores, and assorted lowlifes. Ms Mayor Light-head Of The Hellhole. She's destroying Chicago faster than Biden's goons are destroying the United States.
