Wayy more whites in Chicago, for now.

That is the number to religiously watch, the way Mark Potok keeps track of demographic changes in his office

Dip below critical mass and irreversible white flight exodus will be triggered

That’s a reasonable response. But I also feel this is what China would want, white flight out of cities -> city destruction

I agree. We need our great cities to complement small town america

It’s a tough situation, I get the atlas shrugged approach, but I think the right thing to do would be to stay and fight to save

cities mostly already destroyed. There's a good book on it - "The Slaughter of Cities". These cities are not currently very functional at all, which is how you get these DA's that let criminals off and nothing is done about it.
