Victor Davis Hanson: Chicago Is Going the Way of L.A. Where Their Downtown Area Is Going to Be Uninhabitable

EXCERPT:

DAVIS HANSON: "I'm really worried about Chicago. It was — you know, Carl Sandberg's Chicago was the second biggest place in the country. It's going the way of L.A.. We're gonna lose two big cities, Los Angeles and Chicago, in the sense that their Downtown area is going to be uninhabitable unless you get rid of this paradigm of a blue DEI mayor pandering to DEI constituents, promising them more stuff and more stuff, and then we get the corrupt — the Somali corruption, now California corruption. It all has the same thing. Democratic operatives, Democratic officials turn over billions of dollars to crooked NGOs or whatever aid societies or bureaucracies that don’t serve the people who need it and abscond with the funds, and then if you say this is wrong, oh, you're making fun of the Somali community or you’re making fun of the Latino community in L.A.. No, you're not. And that’s a way — and then they say, 'We've gotta raise taxes. Washington’s gonna raise taxes, Chicago’s gotta raise taxes.' So everybody’s leaving that can leave, that’s not tied to a, you know, a business or something. And I’ve never seen anything like it in this country, that the whole blue paradigm, the whole blue state project is imploding before our very eyes.”
