Chicago has problems...no use in denying that. Trump shone a light on those problems...to get the focus there, in order to start solving those problems.

Cape Town  has Llandudno and Gugs...33km apart, but it might have been on 2 different planets for all the differences...the only way to start solving problems is by identifying them and then listing them...and then start working on a plan to solve it. The ostrich move is bound to fail.

If we walked 400  metres from our flat in London....you were in a different economic world. It’s true for most big cities. Chicago’s north shore is spectacular, and boringly safe.

...yet some prefer to ignore these facts...and focus on the worst case scenario  ...regardless of context  ...to get the better of someone... a perceived advantage to win a point that counts for nothing in the long run...we love STUPID!

Modern big cities are not aesthetic and   give one claustrophobia....

"Well you've cracked the sky, scrapers fill the air
But will you keep on building higher
'Til there's no more room up there?
Will you make us laugh, will you make us cry?
Will you tell us when to live, will you tell us when to die?I know we've come a long way
We're changing day to day
But tell me, where do the children play?"
