CHICAGO — At least 64 people were shot in the nation’s third largest city over the Independence Day weekend, including four people who were fatally wounded.
The grim violence in Chicago, which has recorded 329 homicides already this year, continued despite stepped up street patrols by the Chicago Police Department and the arrest of 88 gang members in two of the city’s most violent neighborhoods ahead of the holiday weekend.
Chicago, which has tallied more homicides than New York and Los Angeles combined so far this year, tallied fewer gun violence fatalities during this holiday weekend compared to previous years. Last year, police reported 10 killed and 55 wounded during the July 4 weekend, and 16 were killed and 66 were wounded in 2014.
I couldn't live in Chicago. Just no. I know it's a beautiful place to visit, home of our President and greats like Oprah. Lord, I commend them for making it out of there.

Downtown and north are seriously one of the best, cleanest, richest and safest places to live in the US, but south and some of west are seriously horrendous and poor
The northern suburbs always rank as the best places to live in the US

Most of Chicago is fine to live in. It's really a problem in poorer neighborhoods.
