Not to downplay the situation there


But Chicago had the 28th-highest murder rate in the country in 2019 (to pick a year that was cited in the link I found). It's bigger than most of those cities for sure. But Philadelphia isn't much smaller and has a higher murder rate, and much like Chicago, no one cares unless the violence gets close enough to City Hall.

All of this is to say that Chicago is not unique, and the relentless focus on it and nowhere else is 100% political.
