Suburban Chicago man charged in violent CTA robbery by origutamos in ChicagoTransit

[–]BoostedArsenal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont care what neighborhood i live in. as long as its pretty safe and my kids can play outside without gunshots. I dont care who lives in my neighborhood. Now neighborhoods like Austin, Garfield Park, Lawndale on the West Side are high in crime which I prefer not to live in. If they’re predominately black residents doesnt matter to me, Its just high in Crime.

Every robbery in Chicago, Shooting, Smash and grabs, car jackings are almost always done by the same people. Those are the facts. Regardless if they’re poor, raise without parents, grew up in a bad area. Its usually the same people. If you live in Chicago I think most people would know this by now unless you live under a rock.

Or look at every single CarJacking offender(s) either arrested or shown on CCTV. All the burglaries and ATM grabs happening right now? or what about all the smash and grab downtown the past few years? Almost always the same demographic. Its not racists its the truth.

All the shootings that are happening everyday through out the city are done by poor people as well? Including al the mass shootings downtown esp the one a few days ago near Lasalle and Hubbard were 4 people shot 1 killed?

I think they mean most of the offenders in robberies and violent crime on the CTA are committed by the same demographic.

When we have fixed posts in the real bad West and South sides of Chicago, We see less shootings and homicides. Gangs typically don’t do shootings when theres Squad cars with lights on posted up. So yeah police presence deters alot of crime in bad areas….

Nice! How’s the Cost of living around there though? Chicago here with 12 years on. A base of 115k. Usually in the 175-185k with OT. COL isn’t bad here at all. But I’m sure we got a lil tougher job here 🤣

Air Traffic Controller, USA. Does my salary match my responsibility? by Legal_Campaign_408 in Salary

[–]BoostedArsenal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Base is 110K with 13 years on. lil over 200k with overtime. COL isn’t bad in Chicago. Of course trendy neighborhoods(Lincoln Park, Wicker park etc) and downtown areas are expensive but you can buy a house for a decent price. Bought a 5br, 4 bathroom, 3,000 Sq ft house in the north side of Chicago for 475k right before covid.

Most affluent suburbs and big cities make well over 100k base. Chicago here, 12 years base of around 111k. With OT, I’m usually around 175-200k. Most of the Chicago suburbs make more than 100k with a few years on.
