Shows how big Chicago is!

White flight, partially. What busing did was make sure ALL schools were terrible, instead of some of them.

There's got to be a bad area near you, white black whatever. How about importing some gang members into your local school? It's GREAT for property values.

Youngstown?!? Someone is dumb enough to see YOUNGSTOWN as an asset?

Anyhow,
Yes, we have some bad areas. And we have gangs moving into our schools, but it's not because of busing. It's because of the southward migration of people from declining northern cities. We are getting a lot of really lovely people from Newark, Philly, Detroit.......................
