Hah. You got me. You're right, Lakeview is a blighted hellscape, and not a rich white neighborhood where the median home price is over $500k in a city with absolutely no housing scarcity whatsoever. Remind me to wear a bulletproof vest next time I go to Delilahs.

"You're right, Lakeview is a blighted hellscape, and not a rich white neighborhood"

Your theory that the existance of white people in an area establishes an anti-violence forcefield is not sound.

Also Lakeview is not a "white neighaborhood"

• White 77.6% • Black 4% • Hispanic 8.6% • Asian 6.9% • Other 2.9%

You got me again; you're right, it's not a "white neighborhood". It's just a "not Black" neighborhood.

You get that I've, like, been to Lakeview a bunch, right? Like, I used to live there? My favorite bar in the world is there? I never know, when I'm talking to people on HN, if Chicago is an abstraction to them and they're just trying to pull facts out of Google or whatever.
