Why are so many people moving out of Chicago right now?
Chicago is a death trap.My coworker / roommate was robbed for the fourth time on the CTA blue line his last day living in Chicago.The CTA Blue line in Chicago is the latest place homeless criminals now live and steal from commuters.He told me about arriving at O'Hare airport and needed to use the bathroom.The homeless are camping out in the bathroom stalls and wanted to change him money to use the public toilet? WTF?This is Chicago today. Again, wtf?The O'Hare airport blue line station smells like a urinal.Great way to welcome people to the city that no longer works…I left 5 years ago.I have a choice to be a survivor and move on or stay in Chicago and continue to be a victim.Easy decision. Easy choice.My last year in Chicago my bike, wallet, car and kayak were all stolen.A drunk pick pocket tried to steal my wallet at a blue line station in a performance area in downtown Chicago with 100 people on the platform.CTA canine security was there.I asked him what to do he said I should leave and did nothing.CTA posted signs, If you see something say something.CTA does not care. Apathy.My ex girlfriend was gang raped in Lincoln Park.I saw a man shot in the head lying in an alley by the Grand Central police station for several hours.I reported homeless men sleeping and urinating in the Jefferson Park Blue line station waiting area to the CTA employees at the entrance to the train station.They told me to contact the police myself. It's their property not mine?Again CTA does not care. More apathy.Alcoholics have a saying, yet.You have not been robbed, raped or murdered in Chicago, yet…People have a choice to live in a dangerous city, or not.Even the mayor and former president are leaving Chicago (Rahm Emanuel & Barak Obama).
