    Well, you haven't hit 10k views, yet. So, of course your channel isn't monetized. But, I bet it'll be monetized if it hits the 10k mark. You're not fooling anyone.

    But, even if it was monetized, I wouldn't begrudge you making legal money from your opinion. Even though your opinion sucks.

    According to his brother Kanye all opinions matter not matter how void of facts they are.

    I have way over that many views. Hell one has over 200,000

    That you do. I stand corrected. But, while you may not have your channel monetized, you definitely have that Patreon link set up and ready to get that con-servative cash.

    Which goes back to my original point; I think this forum is a testing ground for topics for your channel. And, like I said, I'm not knocking your hustle. That's a smart move. Why post about something no one cares about when you can test ideas out before hand?

    True indeed. Only in some sections where there are deaths.

    It affects everyone. Even if the violence is not close by...it's close enough.

    Yeah...
    Even in my shitty little norwegian town people get killed or attempt of getting killed from time to time.

    Everything about Chicago isn't bad. It's a major financial hub second only to NY and has a much better cost of living, many people have good reason not to leave.

    Chicago relies heavily on tourism. It's down.
    I don't care what is said, I wouldn't go anywhere near Chicago as a destination now because much like with Philadelphia's millennial and gentrified areas, the drug addicts and robbers come there because that's where the money is.

    Same reason why I would never go to San Francisco.
    60,000 complaints of feces on the pavement were recorded last year alone.
    An annual medical conference that brings in $40 million dollars for the city, was cancelled by the Medical Association because they now consider San Francisco a health/biohazard.

    It's a weird dichotomy (if it weren't so sad)

    I see it and experience it with my own eyes.
    (Oh, the stories and examples l could tell you).

    Oddly as well, we have a lot of New Yorkers who moved to inner city Philadelphia. They purchase refurbished homes here for 1/5th of cost and commute to New York for work. It works out much cheaper and the eclectic lifestyle here suits them. Philadelphia has become a mini New York.

    One area in particular is Fishtown and now Kensington, where for all intents and purposes, both remain the hub for drug addicts prostitutes, the homeless, homeless camps and crime...yet...
    Interestingly, Fishtown has become the #1 destination place to live in the country. Forbes did a superb piece on it..

    How Fishtown, Philadelphia Became America's Hottest New Neighborhood

    Excerpt:
    The current sale to list ratio is a scorching 98.8%, going toe to toe with Williamsburg (Brooklyn) and Washington, D.C. Two decades ago Fishtown was a dirty Philadelphia real estate word. Now every realtor in the city is trying to bolt another neighborhood onto it.

    Well with more wealth moving theyre going to police the area heavier and push those people out unfortunately. Funny we were out there for my girl's reunion last year. I like the burbs out there. I would set up shop out there but my girl would never commute that far for work

    I swear, when I was making the initial post I was going to suggest to you, "Hey, if you're interested in investing in real estate, buy a house there and rent it out..." Too funny that you saw the same opportunity.

    Seriously, on a similar vein, the housing construction ( not just rehabbing) going on, is astounding. It's like Miami in the late 2000's.

    I will take pics next time l roll through there.
