"bad faith" yet every relevant stat which you'd measure the health of a city, arguably the largest one being population gain/loss, is going the wrong way. So the whole argument about this being some sort of made-up political narrative is just provably wrong. Crime stats, population loss, budget deficit, credit rating, school strikes, school truancy, school poverty line, property values...I could go on. Take your pick. The scoreboard says Chicago is losing, this isn't some political conspiracy.
