"Desired Destination"?

The mentally deranged want to move where?

  • When asked which city in the world people would choose to live in, it appears Chicagoans have some thoughts — and the world has thoughts about Chicago.

    According to a study by Remitly, a digital remittance company, Chicagoans join several other U.S. states in choosing Dubai as the destination of choice.

    The study, which analyzed Google search data for 164 countries around the world and looked at search volumes for the phrase "move to [city]," found that an "overwhelming" favorite was Dubai, which topped the list of at least 60 countries, including Canada, the United Kingdom and the U.S.

    But Chicago was also cited on the list for another reason — as a desired destination.

Okay, these are obviously people who don't get out much, watch waaaaaay to much prime time television and remember hearing their great-grandparents talk about that time the mayor waved to them from a parade float before they walked to Marshall Fields and ate in the Walnut Room.

That Chicago doesn't exist any more, and hasn't for a little while now.

Those of us that actually grew up in the city do remember that old school Chicago. You used to actually be proud to be from here. You’d have to use your clout just to get on the job… Holy shit how times have changed. The dept is now full of out of towners and suburbanites. And I’m embarrassed to tell anyone I’m from Chicago now.

That Chicago is when democrats were middle class, union family’s. When democrat meant your values were conservative and you believed in hard work and took care of the neighborhood or perish you grew up in. Democrats now value hatred for the nuclear family and living off the government. Oh yea and mutilating kid’s bodies.

Trash like this doesn't have anything to do with prime time television or some old grandpa's memories of a long gone era. It has EVERYTHING to do with dying cities leaning on or paying off publications to publish the absurd idea that their shitholes are really earthly paradises that EVERYBODY wants to move to.

"The city was named among the top 10 picks in the world, but the third-highest for the U.S. When asked which U.S. city residents would choose to live in, Chicago was chosen by at least 10 states.

New York City and Portland, Oregon, topped the list."

There's a lot of people in and around the city. It's also common search for general directions. As a destination? Maybe for football fans coming to watch their team play, because no one wants to see the bears.,.

The way I read that story they didn't ask anyone anything. The results were based up google search data and to assume that someone wanted to move to a place just becuse they searched "move to xxxxx" is shall we say mis information.

Go to the link and than at the bottom of the page where it says "full details" go there. Do you really think that people in Texas, Florida, Georgia etc ... want to move to New York

The story is propaganda bullshit.

Funny when you look at their world map Venezuela doesn't show Chicago or New York as their choice

People might search for "move to" to see how fucked up a place is.

Men who identify as female have the right to get naked in front of female colleagues in the locker room," Severino said about how this rule relates to HHS locker rooms and bathrooms.

"It used to be that if you allowed a man to get naked in front of a woman in the workplace that is instantly a violation of civil rights law," Severino said. "That's the quintessential hostile work environment, subjecting women to that. Now, the policy says to the women who may be uncomfortable with that situation, they're the ones who have to leave."

So as a police officer if dude decides to use locker rooms or bathroom (I know it says hhs facilities but will/is everywhere) could be a pedophile rapist whatever and he says, he’s a female, your family, daughter granddaughter, Aunt, grandmother wife, anything of that nature will have to leave the area if she feels uncomfortable with dude take ioff his clothes, maybe masturbating who knows in front of her. this is pure evil satanic shit Democrats are part of this I’m sorry not part of this they are the cause of all of us. Praying we all have to hope that President Donald Trump gets back in because this ship was listing now it’s in the water. Other countries who are laughing at this country constantly for what is happening even the most evil countries cannot believe this so many of these people support the Palestinians over Israel what do you think would happen if these type of people were over there they don’t tolerate this bullshit either!

These articles have been coming out lately from all over the spectrum. Publishers from the tourism industry have been promoting Chi town before the Democratic convention. I think some of them are AI generated as well. Top 10 list of cities to live in and such which carry no basis in reality, etc...

No one is thinking about moving to Chicago to raise a family. Someone may take a job vacated by someone who moved away from Chicago. But that someone's CEO may be thinking of leaving Chicago...

Chicago is a dirty, violent, corrupt city. Always has been and is worse off now. The next 10-15 years are going to be brutal.

Chicago may have people in a public relations capacity lobbying for articles to be published, but it is all smoke and mirrors. BJ and the 50 aldertheives have seen to that.

Chicago has major issues like crime, and heavy taxes. And newer issues like immigration on top of the old issues.

It will be interesting to see how they try to clean up the city for the convention. Are they going to kick the immigrants out of the hotels? Where will the holes go?

A liberal application of Mace to the offender's affected area seems to be the way to go with these things. Government won't help, lunatics are coddled unless taught otherwise, so it's time to utilize a CommonSense (tm) methodology and give them pause.

We're not building a 3rd locker facility or whatever to coddle these mentals, Mace them, kick them where it counts until they get the message that they're not welcome, and move on with life.

What's gonna happen? The mental's going to complain? Got his ass kicked by a bunch of girls in the girls locker room? First off, I'd laugh. When I was done, I'd say "No, really. What actually happened?" then start laughing some more.

No way that report goes anywhere... the sooner they figure that out, the better. The next time the perv shows up, tell him to get out, if he doesn't - kick the shit out of him again and again and again until he learns he's wrong.

But for all that's Holy - stop coddling mentals.

How old the press major announcement this clown gets rewarded, probably for all pushing the so-called vaccine and the unsuspecting people her and the mayor got it together to push it on all the people that now many are having problems they never had like this turbo cancer, heart attacks, many other things, especially athletes. Look at the job she’s getting as her reward obviously, she’s dumb as a stone but she’s going to get this position. For injury prevention she is going to run this department. Wow what about all the injuries from people that got the vaccine that she is part of!

Fake news.

It will be interesting to see (hopefully from somewhere else) how the death spiral decline of Chicago plays out over the next 10-15 years. Single-industry Detroit and Gary imploded as full-on shit shows but some of their outer-circle suburbs and exurbs have survived and even thrived. This was set in motion in a different era, before working from home. Many Chicago office workers have the option to flee not only Chicago and its collar counties, but also Illinois.

Nothing like a 100 degree area that went from flat desert on the sea to a sterile, high-rise metropolis in 35 years. And a place where foreigners will get arrested for the slightest of infractions with no due process. Still, I'd take that over Chicago of 2023, for at least they have some law and order. What used to be a great (albeit a corrupt Democratic machine) city is now a violent city run by Zimbabwe style racists. Street criminals, as opposed to white collar pols & the mob, now run wild, with free reign. Removing them from the streets is systemic "white supremacy". Who wants to move here except Venezuelans?

So close to 2 miles of a major artery street along with almost 2 miles of east west traffic we're stuck for 20 - 25 minutes more than needed. If someone didn't come on the radio and ask why are the streets still blocked, who knows how long these incompetent idiots would have had this mess continue.
Oh, and to the gold star who had to stop and ask why I didn't have a hat on.... If you had yours on I wouldn't have had that response to make you go back to your car with your gold braid tail between your legs.

Look at where the people who most selected Chicago would come from. None of them are actually moving here. Most are fly-over states.

This is what happens when the city politicians decide to attack the low class and middle class workers for their benefit and whim of a vote. You get people who can't get this job now getting this job, you get jagoff gangbangers trying to push their homies in through to play a two-sided war on the street.

Results from a poll are driven by who the pollster polls.

Ask 20-somethings if they "love" Chicago, and they do, because their social circle is here, and group-think prevails. Party, party, party.

Ask 30-something white-collar north-side professionals if they "love" Chicago, and they do, though they secretly worry about crime, schools, and cost-of-living. But they mostly won't admit those worries - not popular positions within their social circles.

Ask 40-something white-collar north-side professionals, and they won't tell you that they're hoping to move out of Chicago, if not out-of-state, in near future.

Ask 50-something white-collar north-side professionals, and they won't tell you that they rarely leave their home after dark, mostly shop in suburbs, and wish they had moved out of Chicago (or out-of-state) years ago.

Ask 60-something white-collar north-side professionals, and they'll tell you they intend to retire out-of-state, soon, as soon as they can sell their home.
