I remember growing up, the Death Wish movies, "Escape from New York" was another, yet, NYC has apparently recovered and been saved, maybe Rudy helped with that.... so parts of the US that have it hard now, I hope they can recover but if they keep on putting Democrats in there, they probably won't.  Those parts I mean are like Chicago, Detroit namely, not to rag on them and also some cities being eaten up per being Sanctuary cities like San Francisco.  This all said, Chicago is a humongous city and anywhere you have huge populations, you are going to see crime.
