^ yeah, I get all that, and you're not wrong, a lot of it is still pretty stable work-a-day working class Chicago.

I'm just bitching about the stark geographic divergence of incomes now compared to the olden days.

I guess I prefer a more dromedary distribution compared to our increasingly bactrian one.

But as I said before, I'm just an old man yelling at clouds. And a lot of this isn't really a "Chicago" issue as much as it a situation stemming from larger macro-level economic trends.

If anything, this thread aptly demonstrates that cities are always in a state of flux, usually for both better and worse, simultaneously.
