I love Chicago but it really seems to be heading in the wrong direction in terms of economic opportunities and status as a business hub. Caterpillar, Boeing, and now Citadel are all relocating elsewhere.

Yea. Companies come and go. Kellogg announced they are moving to Chicago. I’m sure there will be others that will leave, but also others that will get incentives to move to Chicago.

Kellogg, which is based in Battle Creek, MI is spinning off a company to be based in a Chicago, yet in 5 months we’ll get a press release announcing plans to actually have the spin-off be based in Dallas. I’ll bet you $5 on that

SPM1, are you a resident of Naperville or Downers Grove? I noticed people in these suburbs are very susceptible to thinking that Chicago is like Beirut in 1980's.

This isn’t something that’s just happening in Chicago. It’s been happening with many large companies in big cities.

Caterpillar and Boeing showed up relatively recently with relatively few people because of cajoling and $$ from previous mayors/politicians, and they're leaving for more $$. CAT only had like 250 employees in Chicagoland. Citadel is the only real meaningful departure.

This stereotype that you’re going to get gunned down in Chicago trying to commute to work is hilarious. Every Chicagoan knows what areas to avoid / how to stay safe. I don’t think Chicago’s much different than the other major US cities aside from the fact that it hails sideways in the winter

And to add on, Chicago invested $6 billion to create an entire new neighborhood called Lincoln Yards. Doesn’t seem like a city that’s going down the drain if you ask me 🤩

With the recent Supreme Court hearing I bet the moves will slow down. Specially to Dallas,TX
