and the people who live in Chicago are concerned about THEIR city. It is ridiculous to compare large cities with small cities. Large cities have enormous resources that smaller ones don't. People who live in Chicago look at what is happening in other big cities. They don't compare themselves with Akron whether you think they should or not.
