Chicago Ranks as One of the Worst Run-Cities While Oklahoma City is in Top 5 of Best-Run
A study by WalletHub concluded that Chicago, IL, is one of the worst-run cities, while Oklahoma City, OK, is one of the best-run cities.
WalletHub studied the 148 most populous cities in America. It looked at six categories: financial stability, education, health, safety, economy, and infrastructure and pollution.
“The best-run cities in America use their budgets most effectively to provide high-quality financial security, education, health, safety and transportation to their residents,” said Cassandra Happe, a WalletHub analyst. “Many of the top cities also have a very low amount of outstanding government debt per capita, which can prevent financial troubles in the future.”
Why did I choose these two cities? I’m from Chicago and live in Oklahoma City.
There are many reasons why I chose OKC over Chicago, even though the latter will always be home.
I wish the study had more details.
Chicago
Chicago ranked 137th. The bloated budgets and spending contributed the most to the ranking. What a shock.Financial stability rank? 148. The city’s long-term debt outstanding per capita ranks 145th.
Economy rank? 126.
Chicago’s debt stands at $43,000 per taxpayer, totaling around $40 billion. That’s on top of Illinois’s debt at $42,000 per taxpayer. It’s awful:
The cost of living and taxes have forced people out of the city. Yeah the city has 2.7 million, barely holding on as America’s third-largest city, “but it’s a quarter smaller than it was about a half-century ago.”
Those who stay in the city make way less than the national median household income. Over 50% of the residents live in poverty.
One Chicago resident left the city when it doubled her property taxes in 2023, totaling over $7,100. The property taxes went up 1,000% in 20 years!
Then again, people have been fleeing Illinois for years because of taxes and spending, and it’s corrupt.
I’m shocked Chicago ranked 45th under safety. It’s a violent city.
For some reason, WalletHub ranked OKC 70th in safety. I feel safer in OKC than Chicago!!

Of all the guys you post I think I like this guy the least. He's annoying, it takes him 20 minutes to say something that should take 5 minutes, and he blows stories out of proportion.
The entire story lead is meant to make you think that Chicago is intentionally raising peoples rates by 10-30x, then we find out it was just one guy, it was an OBVIOUS mistake, and eventually it was corrected.
The thing we learned is that Chicago's assessor's office is as broken as everything else in that government and has to be shamed by the media to do their job.
What a lying disingenuous sack of crap ....
Blacks DO NOT CARE About B on B crime unless Pro Blacks can blame the evil white man for their unlawful inclinations
I heard something recently, Africans have higher levels of testosterone vs Whites, Asians and Hispanics ... this makes Africans MORE PRONE to violence and aggressive behaviors .... aka being criminals
Does that explain the women?
women can have higher than normal testosterone ....
I have know some chill relaxed black women, I think for them this is more of a learned attitude
