world class city or alpha++ as they call them is only NYC and London. I'd put Tokyo and Paris as well but some other researchers don't (Shanghai will be there soon too). Chi is a little under what a world class city is supposed to be, not a knock on it but it is what it is. I understand why some of my older fam left that bytch though since like someone else said the segregation and way they don't give a fukk about black people unless it messes with their money is shyt I can't co-sign.
Chi has a long history of treating black people like shyt and that selfhatred is manifested in its current issues in some of them areas as well. But that's another thread. Still Chi>Cle it's pretty much the capital of the midwest.
This is a growing problem. The violence is off putting though, that may be a reason.
