It just makes you look ignorant. 6 hours ago, turtlespeed said: People may pay more attention if you posted more than trivial narcissism, contempt, and insults. The above is why I chuckle when you post things like you did- because it makes you look so childish, while you have this huge self image of importance. The irony alone is entertaining enough to keep me coming back. Thanks John! 2 hours ago, kallend said: I live in Chicago, and it is very clear from your snide comments about the city that you know almost nothing about it. So, yes, when you post such comments about it I do have contempt for your foolishness. When I stay in Chicago, it's always world class, but I'm privileged to stay "In The Loop" where the murder rate is 0 and people pay more to park their car than a mortgage payment in the slums just a few miles away. . .well, that is until you add the 4-5% property tax for a $40K house in those same slums, or pay slumlord rent of $1375 with a median income of $21K South Side Chicago: Beverly Median Income - 105k Median House - $286,000 Property Tax - 1.69% Rent - $1875 Crime 35% lower than national average Murder rate - 0 Bridgeport Median Income - 41k Median House - $353k Property Tax - 1.44% Rent - $1800 Crime 25% lower than national average Murder rate - 0 Meanwhile, just several miles away between those two neighborhoods. . . Englewood Median Income - 21k Median House - $40,000 Property Tax - 4.87% Rent- $1375 Crime 256% higher than the national average murder rate - 94.9 That's so seriously messed up, I don't even know where to begin. I mean, WTF do you expect to happen in that type of situation? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
