All things considered, Even if you had a rock solid candidate who ran on a platform of improving the quality of life,education,transparency, and minimizing wealth inequality..... it'd take decades to fix the institutional problems.
and even then, you risk that mayor using that success to boost their profile and run for higher office, which is very likely to lead to a shyt tier candidate taking office and destroying all the progress made.

If they spent even a fraction of the money used for migrants on poor citizens. It wouldn't take decades to improve inner cities.
"Chicago has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on the migrant crisis, with figures exceeding $600 million as of July 2025"

Look, you have to triage trauma then you can work on rebuilding. Chicago has a crisis on its hands regardless of what programs these politicians tout as interventions and diversions.
I despise this dude every time I see him on national TV. He makes black politicians look horrible and perpetuates this notion that black voters condone crime and want less public safety.Mayor Johnson definitely the average TLR breh
Then he just does all this weird “I’m a strong black man” posturing thats stuck in the 2010’s instead of actually doing his fukking job of delivering the basics for citizens
People respect people who stand strong. He just bends over for every activist and criminal group in his city then acts surprised Trump sees him as food.

You're missing the forest for the trees breh.
Let's say none of that money gets spent on migrants...and migrants simply don't exist in the city at all...That doesn't solve the issues of food deserts, economic opportunity, wealth disparity, investments in infrastructure,city services,public transportation,healthcare, secondary education/trades etc.
those issues existed long before those folks started showing up....you can't solve them in one term, or two....and you won't even have empirical data to show that they've caused substantial improvements in a large city for at least a decade.
and we're talking a perfect world scenario where everyone is on board and doesn't get in the way of those initiatives.
Eric Adams was Eric Adams problem, not his politics.saids the guy who believed eric adams was presidential material.
I guess we'll never know because the city has never spent that kind of money at one time on poor black people.
Uhh. 2.5 Billion might actually solve most or all of that, breh.

Yeah. Eric Adams has popular political stances. His corruption allegations are what took him down.
Don’t argue with me. Argue with these three. Everyone disagrees with all on crime:

Yes that's a substantial amount of money, but in reality you'd need exponentially more over the course of many years to ensure that all of those interdependent things are properly funded,ran and sustained.
for perspective, that's roughly the operating budget for CTA for a year.
For the record, it's not just poor blacks who afflicted by this, the social safety nets are low enough that middle class blacks ( and any race in general) are effectively one bad month or a single unexpected accident/expense away from being yet another casualty of cities being ran by officials who have no motive than maintaining status quo or using the office as a platform to their next step.
