    I noticed when there’s a shooting in NYC, media outlets may report the story like “Shooting in Bensonhurst neighborhood…”

    If there was a shooting in the West Woodlawn neighborhood of Chicago, theyll report it like “Shooting in Chicago…”

    This kind of language make Chicago, and other cities who are victimized by this, sound more dangerous than they are.

      I’m moving to Chicago later this year. Please continue this tradition so I can get a cheap rent.
