Or LA or NYC. American municipalities offer you the full dystopian spectrum. From overburdened socialist welfare state (San Francisco), to repressive authoritarian dictatorships (New York), to banana republics (Wilmington, DE), to post-apocalyptic free-fire zones (Camden). Take your pick!
I agree completely. There are also some great small communities that aren't socialist dystopias. So, yes, I would like to be able to take my pick.
As long as the power of Chicago's socialists is limited to Chicago, you can escape the dystopia that emerges from their absurd policies by escaping their jurisdiction. But if all (US) power can be centralized in Washington, then the same people who produced socialist dystopias in Detroit, Chicago, or San Francisco, will impose them on everyone in the country. I will no longer be able to take my pick by leaving their jurisdiction, and that's what they define as "progress."
