Nolte: Democrat-Run Chicago Only City with Lower Population Today Than in 2000
Breitbart ^ | 03/15/2024 | JOHN NOLTE

Out of 25 major cities, Democrat-run Chicago is the only one to have experienced a net population loss compared to the year 2000.

Since 2000, Chicago has lost 231,000 people net despite the fact that the U.S. population has increased from 281.4 million to 341 million.

With 60 million more people, Chicago lost nearly a quarter of a million souls.

How is that even possible?

During the pandemic years of 2021 and 2022, the once-great Windy City lost a net total of 79,000 and 77,000 people, respectively. Between July 2022 and July 2023, that number slowed to a net loss of 16,000, which is considered the “normal” for a city in decline for the last quarter century.

Build a wall around the city with machine gun toting guards to keep all the people inside, just like the East German Communists did.

There are several medium size cities—below the top 25—that have lost population since 2000—all Democratic run of course.

Three examples here in the Northeast:

Buffalo, NY 2000 292K 2020 278K the population peaked in 1950 at 580K

Rochester, NY 2000 219K 2020 211K the population peaked in 1950 at 332K

Camden NJ 2000 79K 2020 71K the population peaked in 1950 at 124K

I imagine there are exceptions but it seems nearly all our cities are run by Democrats.
