Chicago is broken up into 4 main sides: Downtown, Northside, West Side, and Southside.
For the most part the most attractive parts of the city are downtown and the Northside. They hold the major corporations, the nice restaurants, nice shopping (Magnificent Mile), etc. That is where the tourist go, the major tradeshows are held, etc. However, now with the combo of Covid, BLM, and especially poor Dem decision making, the crown jewel areas of Chicago are being destroyed. There are no more trade shows, no museums open, no tourism because no one wants to go into this crime infested areas in the nice parts of town anymore. This is all due to Dem policies. This once great city, that had nice parts have been infected. This is the downfall of Chicago.
The former mayor Rahm Emanuel - a Chicagoan (unlike Lightfoot, who is from Ohio)- understood this dynamic. He understood Chicago has different parts. He knew he had to keep the upper middle class families in the northside and downtown happy by giving them good schools. So he ramped up spending and really spent time improving schools like Whitney Young, Lane Tech, Jones College Prep, and Payton. This gave families (and their money) a reason to stay. Now, Lightfoots policies are destroying downtown and are even going to the northside (they looted BestBuy in the looting last Sunday). If she allows even more social unrest and destruction then downtown and the northside- the best parts of town will become unattractive. No one will go to Cubs games, trade shows, Navy Pier, museums, restaurants, the Bean, Chicago pizza, Sears Tower etc. Already tourism is super down- if not non existent. At this rate, Lightfoot will give no reason for anyone to go- let alone stay in Chicago.
Which this POS hates with a passion. She is doing all that she can to ugly up the North side.
North Ave. Beach which is the premiere city beach is a disaster, so is Ohio Street Beach. Fullerton to North Ave. Beach is a disaster as well. The maintenance on the erosion was halted.
Beautiful Buckingham Fountain has been off all Summer and looks depressing. Lightfoot is a racist slug, hellbent on destroying Chicago.

Because she's racist & hates all things perceived as "white" - the lakefront, boating, golfing, biking, running. Just the North side in general.
