Chicago Alderman Explains Why People Are Leaving Chicago

Chicago Alderman Helen Shiller explains why Chicago's losing population:

People aren't leaving Cook County because of high taxes and regulation. Corruption, perhaps.

Actually, come to think of it, people like their own corruption. What they don't like is other people's corruption if those other people seem to be getting more return for their dollar or patronage than they are themselves.

People are leaving the rust belt because the manufacturing jobs are being obliviated. Ford Motor is being decimated. GM nearly went bankrupt. We ship all our union and manufacturing jobs overseas without proving enough new industries at home to pick up the slack.

People are leaving the Chicago area because airlines are going down the tubes.

People are leaving because the winters are awful and they'd rather go to warm weather states like Florida, Nevada, or Arizona.

If it was just the weather,then New Hampshire would be losing population which they aren't.
