You remind me of a boss I used to have at a startup, who could not fathom why our phone bill became very high when he didn’t pay the bill for quite some time. I actually got frustrated enough with the conversation to go back and do the math, and come back and show it to him, and all he could say was, “It just feels like it’s too high.”
If you’re so concerned about skewed results look into per-capita numbers. But it sounds like you already have a reason in mind, you just don’t want to say it
I don’t have a reason in mind which is why I asked.
It seems like nobody replying has any answers either, only distractions and derailments. I’m not sure why you people think that the crime rates of other cities means chicago doesn’t have a problem, but that simply isn’t true.

That isn’t the point people are making. They are wondering what it is about Chicago that made you focus on it rather than other cities that have a higher crime rate.
It’s an important piece of information you conveniently left out.
Yes, you people are asking that to derail from answering the question.
Who people? Do you think I’ve organised a group of friends to all get on your case about this one particular question, or is it more likely that random individuals have the same issues with your question?
It’s not an important piece of information unless you don’t want to admit chicago has a problem with violence.
I think everywhere that has violence has a violence problem. Violence is a problem. Why are you so interested in Chicago’s problem rather than the problem everywhere else?
Are you trying to argue that the crime rates of other cities mean chicago doesn’t have a problem? Just say so if that’s the case.
No, I’ve literally already told you that. I’m simply interested in why you’re interested in the 25th (random number) most violent place instead of the most violent place? What is it about Chicago that has got you so interested?
I’ve already met you in the middle, I’m not providing any more information until you answer my question because I don’t believe you’re after a nuanced answer and you haven’t even tried to convince me or entertained anything else I said in my previous comments.
Give me a good reason why you’re so interested in Chicago over other, worse cities and I’ll bite
Lol
It’s usually because of a lower population making it easier for criminals to skew the results.
Chicago is unique with how confident criminals are in shooting each other in public.

What’s the focus on Chicago. An old Beau sprun you there?

So if we can admit Chicago has a problem, can you provide any information on what could be influencing it?

No evidence will be good enough for you unless it comes from you.
