I haven't been to Vegas since covid but pre covid not once did I not feel safe.
The stories I'm hearing from people who have visited Vegas recently tell a different story.
I have lived in Chicagoland since 1994. Sure, before last year we all knew what places to avoid. But even many of the “good” spots are now bad. It’s beyond belief.
I am worried about taking the train to Michigan Ave to walk a couple blocks to the Blue Line to ORD. My wife had to go downtown to her dentist and I was worried every minute. The idiot mayor has completely abandoned her job responsibilities to pander to thugs.
So sad. One of the world’s great cities has become lawless.
