"Historic" Population Loss
The only thing getting smaller around Illinois government is the citizen population:
Illinois recorded a seventh straight year of population loss, but the drop was historic – 79,487 residents from July 2019 to July 2020, the most since World War II and the second largest of any state in raw numbers or percentage of population.
Data released by the U.S. Census Bureau Dec. 22 shows only New York lost a greater number or share of residents during the year.
The linked article up top has all sorts of graphs demonstrated the sad state of affairs.
It can all be summed up in this cartoon:
Death Spiral.

Anybody know when J.B.'s term is up?
I never even considered moving out of the city before. Now that I'm retired, the thought of escaping to McHenry county has evaporated with the very high taxes and property values. I'm considering moving to northwest Indiana, provided not too many of these imbeciles that populate this city flee there. If that happens, a little further south in Indiana might be OK or maybe just cut the umbilical cord completely and go to Tennessee. But not those larger cities, that's just like here.
I was one of that number
Best thing ever down. No drama peaceful no lunatic illegal neighbors living 18 inches away. No more cook county tax no over priced city stickers to buy no bag tax
Thanks Chicago your stupidity put more money in my bank account best of all quality of life is 1 million times better and happier
I two finger salute and bear my Snow White ass to you Chicago my you and all liberal democrat psychos sink like the titanic into Lake Michigan
Only problem is a lot of these people leaving are going to red states but still voting for blue assholes.
If or when you move, please make sure you leave your Chicago ways in Chicago. Don’t move to another state and try to make things like back home. Lots of red communities and cities are turning purple or blue. Register to vote once you get settled and please don’t register as a democrat.
They can count my family and me out in 4 years and 2 months. Thanks DemocRATS! Just count me out already. Moving to a red state and loving it.
This place is a poorly run shithole.
I will be leaving soon and plan on never returning. Not even to visit. Why would I want to watch everything I once enjoyed turned to crap.
And people still keep re-electing democrats over and over. Illinois has been democrat controlled for decades. You would think the voters might want to try republicans just once. What do they have to lose besides their state.
I too will get the heck out in a few short years.
People should look on the bright side ... for instance ... uhm ... hold on ... let me think for a minute ... (crickets) ... on second thought, the bleed out of population is indicative that Illinois is ... fucked!
If Gov. Pigsker leaves Illinois, will the population automatically decline by ten?
Everyone I know wants to get the fuck out of here. Illinois has (had after Gov Pigsker fucked them over) many of the best restaurants in the country - I know - I’ve been to every major city. No one compares but NYC in terms of great restaurants - SF too. It’s alarming how many people are getting the fuck out. It’s not the weather - all our neighbors are growing. People just want to flee the taxes and corruption. I lived here my whole life ... my goodness ... how Illinois has slid into the shitter in the past 20 years. Can’t believe Madigan is still in office after the way he fucked this state over.
Can’t wait to see the population change for Chicago and Cook - it usually comes out in March. I’ll bet that both declined drastically.
Why would people leave this place? We have Pigsker, Groot, Weedhead Lt Gov, Crimesha, Fart, Taxwinkle, “Let ‘em all out” Evans, Madigan the little fuck and other selfish assholes ... they are building Illinois into the next Venezuela 🇻🇪 - high crime, economic shrinkage and depopulation. What’s not to like?
Illinois - RIP
Illinois is a major World City. Then why does everyone want to get the hell out?
Illinois has a DNR order. She wants to go peacefully.
Illinois is soooo fucked
I guess the rest of us can foot and pay the taxes.
Groot and Pigsker - I want to congratulate you both on a job well done.
they don't want to be taxed to death or have themselves or loved ones murdered , simple as that,
“Death Spiral”
The whole country is in the death spiral.
Well we can run from Illinois but to where? The whole country is doomed. The rats in Congress approved the Covid Relief bill to give Americans a measly $600.00. Trump made a speech tonight and said it is disgraceful since the most of the money is going to foreign countries for outlandish reasons. He wants raise the relief money for Americans to $2,000.00 and stop the give out to things that are unrelated to the Covid crisis.
The bill is almost 6,000 pages long so check out where these assholes are sending our money. They are sending your money to Jordan to build a border wall to keep immigrants out. But Joe Biden has proclaimed that he will stop the US/Mexico border wall. Why are we supporting a wall in Jordan but not one in this country? His incoming administration is already in talks with Central America countries in granting asylum to migrants to the US. One third of the population of Honduras now reside in the US. There are waves of migrant caravans from Central America and Mexico gearing up to come to the US since they have heard Biden will become president.
Of course Chicago, since our Democratic leaders have proclaimed it a sanctuary city, will get slammed. But during the Obama/Biden regime they were sending migrants into different states via buses surprising local governments who then had to accept them which put a drain on their economies.
The Democrats are intent on destroying the middle class, who don’t fight back, to be displaced by a subclass that will be dependent on government aid which which they will suck out of the middle class.
You can run from Illinois which is a good idea but it looks like the entire country will be affected in a matter of time. Maybe leaving the country for one that cares about their citizens, but there are not many of those.
I am so glad to be recognized as one of those to have left the shit hole Illinois has become. Left in March 2020, only moved 15 miles but when you cross that state line you are in a different world. I left Illinois politics in Illinois, my fear is the other migrants to the free states don't keep voting for the same shit they just left.
Okay and now when does the City Of Chicago get rid of over half of the useless Alder-people?
Chicago having 50 Alderman and taxpayer, money draining staff is clearly out of whack by any means!
Only a stupidly run DemocRAT city does this!
The state is going to lose one Congressional seat and is on the verge of losing a second. It will also reduce the number of its members in the electoral college. Illinois is becoming more insignificant each day.
Pritzker leaves every time Covid flares up. Does that count?
And it ain’t over going to Texas nice red state for the most part everything is open was there for a long weekend beautiful weather except the tornadoes nice friendly people nothing like the cesspool of Illinois vote with your feet and gtfo of this Shitcago
That doesn’t even count me. My tax burden and I left in September.
Don't sweat the collapse. My advice is to buy a place or land in a prime red state area now. My family and I will be moving to Tennessee in March.
Illinois is dying and taxes will push the wealth and talent out.
I made good use of my unemployment and left the entire Midwest behind. Tired of all the bullshit.
The plan is to stay here in Tennessee, though I may get trapped into going to work for someone that's moving down to the libbed-up part of North Carolina. Not as broken as the Midwest, mind, but it would not be my first choice so if I take that deal I'll probably just do it for the money and maintain the TN residence for future use.
Hope they were all taxpayers. If they were, figure $5000 apiece that comes to roughly $400,000,000, bet FATSO your budget just took another big hit. Now well Oberg 400 BILLION GOING TO 500 BILLION. No problem you say we'll just borrow our way out at 4-5%. Sounds great except what is debt service on 4-5 BILLION and where is that money coming from. The hole gets deeper and deeper. Just to clarify the debt service on 4 BILLION is $400,000,000 or the same amount the lost taxpayers took with them last year. How many more this year? Great plan Fatso.
Look for Chance the Rapper to run for mayor, with the support of Prickwiggler. He will fix everything. You don't concur? Go to the Google Home screen today and see his name under the search bar, just like everyone else IN THE FREE WORLD! Really pushing this child on all the people of Earth for some reason. Can you guess what that reason is???
I just retired. Florida is great and everything is open. No mask no Karen’s and no state income tax. Freedom
I’m 16 years gone and I won’t return for anything but the marrying or burying of friends.
But Lightfoot and Pritzker insist that their policies are "right-sizing" the population.
The Tennessee kid says: Its better anywhere but Illinois.
One just has to look at what Chicago's politicians have to offer to know Chicago has nothing worth of value to stay. Funny thing though it doesn't stop at Chicago's boarders or Toni Prickwinkle's Cook County. Tax payers in Elmhurst, Hinsdale and the more affluent suburbs are leaving too.
My daughter is out next month and I’ll be joining her in 4 years when I can retire.
Life is too short to worry about Illinois or anyone or any other rusty ass midwest state. Crime is crime it's not going anywhere. However, these same political clowns don't go anywhere either. So, I will leave. I don't care what everyone else does. This message is endorsed by the foundation for I don't give a damn about Democrats or Republicans.
Don’t go to McHenry County. While it’s a beautiful county, taxes are way to high and crime is increasing. The same shitheads that ruined Chicago are moving to MC and ruining it just like they ruined Chicago. Hell, I ran into a guy that lived in Horner. He now lives in Woodstock. He was locked up for dope in MC. Do yourself a favor and go a little north into Wisconsin. Much nicer.
Out here in Crackford the media is saying that housing sales are booming. Guess everyone is moving here from Chicongo. I don't blame them but for moving to the "country" but this place ain't paradise anymore.
I never even considered moving out of the city before. Now that I'm retired, the thought of escaping to McHenry county has evaporated with the very high taxes and property values. I'm considering moving to northwest Indiana, provided not too many of these imbeciles that populate this city flee there.

Look at northwest Indiana. I cannot tell you the name of a specific place because we don't want any shit, scum, trash or Biden-Harris voters coming our way, but there is a few of us here. You were trained to be a cop. You'll figure it out, just like we did.

Huh, must be one of those meritorious exempts posting on the blog again.
The only problem is they don't change when they move. The vote the same party and expect different results. It is afterall, the VOTER who elects what person or party makes decisions for them.
Can't tell you how many people I know who had generations of their families living here who are headed out of town. The stench coming out of this place is overwhelming.
Yes this maybe true but i bet they all still voted for biden

The Republicans have given up too. There are only a few RINOs in any government in the state. Hard to go Republican when they are not even running!
I was born and raised in Chicago. I have lived in IL for over half a century now. And I am finally getting out. Next year you can add me to the roster of those escaping this nightmare of a state. I'm relocating to a state with no income tax, no snow, no Putzker. Adios IL. Rauner's not looking so bad now, is he?
The bigger problem is all those people moving out are tax payers. The people that don't pay don't leave they just say "Gimme mo"
I sold my Chicago home in October and moved to a small town in Wisc. It's like a breath of fresh air - I can walk around after dark and not worry about being a victim. You start to forget that normal people don't live the way we do in Chicago. Thanks SCC. I knew the writing was on the wall but reading you and CWB daily convinced me the time was NOW.

You got that right. I have quite a few neighbors, all Democrats, who left Chicago and then Illinois. All can’t bring themselves to vote Republican. They all are convinced the Republicans are the only liars, cheaters and billionaires in politics.
It's almost like... people are NOT happy
I remember walking in on a workplace discussion one day. One soon to be retiree was going on and on about their place in Texas. One of the other employees asked him, “So you are moving to a red state to get away from the nonsense. Does that mean you’ll be voting conservative?” The soon to be retiree answered, “Oh, Hell no.” Let me also clarify that this same soon to be retiree (a detective) somehow got a stimulus check and was bragging about it. Don’t know the person’s life but they claim to be unmarried with an adult kid. I don’t know about you, but after 25plus years on the job with no dependents, I make too much to have gotten or get a stimulus check. By some miracle I also can’t afford a second home until I sell the one I have. I guess that’s why the soon to be retiree loves the democrats- crooked as the day is long and freebies all day long for people if you fit a demographic.
Unfortunately, the people leaving are workers & tax payers- not the one’s waiting for more free shit.
Where I live, we bitch about the federal government, but our local government is painless. In my town, we have a really nice brewpub. Every Thursday night, you can go to the pub and find our town leaders sitting at a table. You are welcome to approach them, grab a seat, and talk about anything. Nobody yells, screams, or throws a fit. They are really nice people and they have our best interests at heart.
I'm still trying to get used to it.......living here has shown me how badly people act towards each other in the city.
I saw a drunk asshole pull up to the 7-11 the other night. You know the type. Rap cranking, pot smoke rolling out the windows, giant wheels. He left the vehicle running, windows down although it was cold, Rap cranking, and went into the 7-11. While I was flashing back to the Chicago days, I looked over at the gas pumps. At least two people were calling the police. A few minutes later, they were there to straighten his silly ass out. As it should be. Law and order. Weird, Man.
The only thing the matters is who’s leaving, if it’s people willing and looking for work were in more trouble than anyone thinks.

take out the old grammer school compass and mark a circle about 150 miles or so around this shit hole.plenty of wonderful God fearin',law abiding areas to live,raise a family, or retire to. good country food too.
Can anyone think of a country where English is spoken and is also politically conservative. I have relatives in Ireland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Wonderful places to visit but the voters are mostly Lefty Loons.
Biden will reverse the population decline when he allows tens of millions of illegals in, especially from poor South American and Middle East countries. Open your wallet and get ready to pay for them. Biden wants new future DemoRat voters and nothing says New DemoRats than illegal aliens from third world countries.
Interesting to see the demographics in greater Atlantw Ga and Tampa for college educated blacks in "The Great Black Migration Reversal". Interesting times shaping up for the south in the next 30 years.
I read online Chicago is a San Francico (liberal, North side) with two Detroits (west side and south side). Seems about right.
What do Rhodesia, South Africa, Cuba, Venezuela, Cleveland and Detroit have in common with Chicago? Wait for it. Wait for it. Wait.....
Yeah, you got it. They were all ruined by the liberal, tax raising, give away free shit crowd. Shame on you if you thought the answer was related to race. You obvious failed economics. And never had any common sense.

I've often thought about that - indeed *which* country could a normal - brained person move to? Switzerland might be a good choice, as the individual Cantons (the equivalent of states) basically run their own shows, with a very weak Federal system that ensures defense, foreign policy, etc.:
https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/what-type-of-government-does-switzerland-have.html
"Switzerland is the closest state in the world to have a direct democracy where citizens may challenge any law voted by the federal assembly. Switzerland’s Executive, Judicial and Legislative institutions are organized on federal, cantonal and communal levels. Switzerland, unlike many of other European states, does not have a President or a Prime Minister, and the country’s citizens are at the pinnacle of power.
Cantonal Administrations:
Cantons in the Swish Federations organize themselves in respect to laws and policies, the federal constitution and minorities. Every canton has its constitution and elects an average of 5 members to make up the cantonal government. Most of the cantons also have one parliament. The federal government's delegates many of its duties to the cantonal administrations. 6 of the 26 cantons in the country are regarded as half-cantons, but all cantons have equal rights of autonomy and competencies. Cantons have armed police forces and run universities and hospitals and collect income taxes..."
Switzerland also has compulsory military conscription for all males 18 and over...a strong civil defense system, and a citizen militia...
Also Hungary: Hungary is place that has rejected all the "one -world" guff of "open borders", they've even banned Soros from doing his evil deeds there. Hungary has been embroiled in squabbles with the EU over gay marriage, issues of national sovereignty, etc. The Hungarians are few in number and they want to retain Hungarian values, not be dictated to and micro - managed by far - away Brussels European Union leftist bureaucrats - they had to put up with with that sort of colonialism from the communist USSR until 1989...
I'm a senior, so I'll stay put, but these are two "interesting" places in the "First World" that so far have not been totally swallowed up by liberal leftist nonsense...
I'm one of those that left for a red state and can't recommend it enough.
People are friendly and happy to lend a hand if needed. The streets are safe and clean. No homeless druggie mental cases pissing on the sidewalks or on buildings.
Crime is little to none and many people carry concealed or even open carry so the criminal element doesn't even try here.
And, we got about a 15% increase in net take home due to tax relief in my new state. It's truly paradise.

Watch what is going on in California. California has passed a bill that tax's anyone who leaves California for TEN years, yes 10 years. California will tax the income of the people who leaves the state. The bill also tax's profits of any real-estate sales. Another part of the bill, California will tax the income of anyone who was a student in any of the states colleges also for 10 years. Fatass is probably looking at this bill as a relief for Illinois problems. I don't have the link to it but google and see the particulars of he bill.
Kalifornia will soon leave those numbers in the dust.
Hold my beer . . . . .
Understand what that means for pension promises backed by the Chicago or Illinois tax base, particularly for severely underfunded pensions.
It’s hard to leave the place (IL) where I grew up, met my wife and raised a family. Tough to leave the kids and grandkids, but at some point you just have to move on from the hell hole this state has become.
Years and years of corruption, mismanagement and policies that are anti family and pro underclass, and sanctuary city have made this state unliveable for middle class people.
On top of that, the political class are simply whores to the likes of CTU, AFSCME and any other group that want more and more each day. Not to mention BLM & ANTIFA. When does it stop? Who can stop it?
I had hoped that a second Trump term might slow things down, but t(e DemocRATS made sure that wouldn’t happen by STEALING the election.
So maybe Florida? Texas? Leaving the country is hard to do. I’d want to go somewhere that is english speaking, but the UK, Canada and Australia are pretty fucked up too.
All of what’s happening is so fucked up it’s depressing. There needs to be a refuge for honest decent people.

What kind of booze do you drink?
It’s unfortunate that Illinois, NY, California are loosing population. While the naive may think it’s good as those states may lose an electoral vote; a congressional seat, the sad reality the people move to a better place. In most cases a Red state. They also tend to forget what got their state in trouble and thus keep the same behaviors; they vote Democrat and bring all their problems along for the ride.
Not to worry... Chicago-NYC and California will be flooded with “ new Americans “ from Central America. The locus people will be everywhere. And Leading a path of financial destruction in their wake. What a wonderful mess we re in! Thanks libs
Best thing I ever did was moving out of Chicago and leaving the corrupt state of Illinois!
Sunny and 75 here today! Not being taxed to death, Love the weather and the people in Tampa!
Re: leave your IL politics in IL
Case in point, Nashville. A lot of people from IL have fled to the aforementioned city (Jay Cutler and his vacuous ex- to name the most prominent). The current democrat mayor who was elected in 2019 has led a 34% property tax increase in the city and has implemented rather harsh restrictions on the city's bars, restaurants and clubs.
Hey Illinois,
Last one out turn off the lights!!!!
I’m 16 years gone and I won’t return for anything but the marrying or burying of friends.

Now with ZOOM, you can attend a wedding or a funeral from the safety of your living room. No need to return. Sounds like the way to go.
Just because they moved doesn't they wont continue to vote here.

"Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?"
4 years and 128 days! (Not that I’m counting). Can’t wait till I leave this shithole neighborhhod, city, county, and state. I’m only staying this long wishing I get at least some of my pension. You can keep your shitty 55 insurance. Truely wish I could quit now but it makes sense to gamble in staying 4 1/2 more and collecting a modest pension, maybe. I will honestly miss nothing here and sadly feel I wasted 20 years of my life working this useless cause. The only positive of the job was the pay and that wasn’t even that good working in the worst neighborhoods the nation has to offer. It’s sad when you wish the worst for the city you live in and the job you work! That’s when you know it’s time to go.
Wherever George Soros sends his woke mayors they destroy it in no time. that is the plan, destroy everything until it is just one big democratic cesspool. It is just a matter of time when Florida is just like Illinois.

As someone who lives in one of the 'Destination States' for all you good former Chicagoans:
1. Remember, 'Ya'll' is both a singular and plural pronoun.
2. You may hear the phrase 'Yer' not from around here, are yewwww?' It's a rite of passage. People here tend to live out their lives in large extended and intermarried families, so someone is always someone else's cousin. Polite behavior is always the best decision.
3. When you leave, be sure to inform the election authorities, by registered mail, to take you OFF their rolls. Otherwise, you will be 'voting' again and again forever in Illinois elections. Register and vote here for the GOP, in person. If you move to Memphis (Chicago's most southern suburb) understand that the dead rise and walk every election day.
4. You are welcome here--the cultural/political corruption that makes Chicago Chicago is not welcome. Leave it behind, embrace success that derives from a successful culture.
5. Go ahead and take the class and get that carry permit, even if you don't regularly carry. The more law-abiding folks hold the permit, the better. The county sheriffs are on your side--they're elected down here, and take care of their counties.
'Nuff said, ya'll?
Illinois is the worst state in the United States. I had some neighbors move to Orlando Florida and Marathon Florida and they love it. Covid is in the rear view mirror but if you want to wear a mask it is okay. People just want to live without the government dictating their every move. I wish we had DeSantis instead of Jabba.
Fatty really wanted the record for most COVID tests administered in the country. I think he surpassed the 13 million mark and caught New Jersey and New York. Congrats Fatty all those false positives really paid off.
The only piece of real estate in Illinois I’ll hang on to after I leave the State, is my cemetery plot in the Catholic Cemeteries of the Chicago Archdiocese. So I can RIP among my 4 generations of family that helped build this City.
Former cop turned Professor put together a VIOLENCE REDUCTION PROJECT where he asked cops, professors and others to put forth their recommendations on how to reduce crime.
It's a varied group of writers and essays. Former top uniformed cop in NYPD wrote a piece as did a number of FBI agents and cops. Many of the essays focus directly on the importance of policing, arrests and prosecution. Others get into more technical stuff like mental health and training.
Last essay is the only anonymous essay and it was written by someone from Chicago who clearly attacks local politicians for the rising homicide rate here and faults it for the drastic loss of population on the south and west sides.
Really skewers Foxx who apparently blamed the high homicide rate on a lack of fresh food stores in parts of the city. I kid you not. Links and everything in the story.
The whole series.

Sorry ... this was supposed to be a sarcastic remark and everyone took me seriously. Of course everyone wants the fuck out - to run from the corruption, taxes and economic destruction. Many businesses that have been here for decades are not coming back due to Gov Fucskier and his communist state lockdown. Do you honestly believe these restaurants are coming back once COVID-19 dissipates? Fuck NO!!! Many of them opened when Illinois had low income, property and sales taxes. If I where to open a restaurant, I would go to a state where people are moving. I would not open a business in a state that is depopulating, with escalating taxes and economic shrinkage. Fuck that - unless you lease a site, invest little and can easily close - otherwise it is NOT worth the fucking risk.

i love small town america. i have a second home in a small wisconsin town. people still leave their cars running when they run into a store or gas station. the police are low paid but have top notch equip and are very proactive, helpful and backed 100% by the citizens. everyone is gunned up and has dogs. they are all devestated by the election and hate madison and milwaukee like we hate city hall. it pains me that my huge family has been here since the 1840s, mostly in public service, and i am being forced to leave. so be it. i will find a small town in a warm red state and start new traditions. as someone mentioned the decrease wont last long, in another 20 years shitcago will have 10 million citizens and will look like pakistan or india and will be supported entirely by the federal treasury, while the local democrats run things and get rich. like the election maps with places like illinois all red except for blue blobs in shitcago and st louis, the blue city states will control the whole country and bancrupt it, especially if the dems destroy the electoral college, let 16 year olds vote, and let illegals vote. they couldnt care less that they destroy the country as long as they are in power. after all they can always blame trump, even in 2040, and the media will say " sho you right ". by the way ive been to switzerland, and guess what, they dont take immigrants, none, they like switzerland for the swiss ! what a concept, if only we had a leader who said america first ! but that will never happen, dat racist ! bye groot, bye fat ass, by crazy kim, another high earner leaving for anywhere !
