Don't forget Illinois going through a pension debt crisis. When so much of the tax revenue goes to paying off government employees' pensions, it's no wonder why people want to leave. If people don't want to be in Chicago, neither do the companies.

Cities like Chicago became what they are because they attracted large amounts of people looking for a better life. But more and more people are realizing that better things await them elsewhere. Illinois' political leadership refuses to acknowledge the problem, let alone propose any solutions for it. For locals who pay attention to such things, this isn't really a surprise- they haven't been capable of any meaningful problem-solving for a few decades now. The results of their ineptitude are now hitting home. Literally.

Corporate Executives aren't even interested in making sure to stay connected with their products and their Workers, either because of this -> 2:20 (and Boeing's similar example mere seconds before) OR because these "super patriotic" turds never hesitate to pursue lower costs, even when it means giving the middle finger to that "Cold War" we fought for so long by shipping jobs to China.

I can tell you what happened to Montreal: For centuries it was the leading city of Canada, then in the 70s separatism and associated violence arose. Corporate headquarters started moving to Toronto; long-term decline began. It lost investment, many skilled people, and most of its international prestige. Montreal formerly had a larger population; now it's 4.3 million, Toronto's is nearing 7m. Older people vividly remember a glittering and booming Montreal. Now Toronto is markedly more prosperous.

Boeing only had Executive offices there, which was minimal. Rumors are they originally moved there because Stonecipher had a mistress in Chicago. Also, I think the Congressional Procurement was led by Illinois Representatives back then too, not sure. Current rumors are that Calhoun is literally running Boeing from his East Coast Lakehouse, which seems rather odd, but apparently true. The fact they are moving to DC tells me they are gradually sliding toward Defense procurement from Civil and may have lost their confidence and courage to build commercial airliners in the future. Boeing needs to return it's Executive team to the standard it had pre-MD.

Boeing is moving to Virginia because it’s going to make more money from the government than it is from the private market. The same goes for Pratt and Whitney. In the next 20 years Lockheed Martin, Boeing, space x, Pratt and Whitney and GE will get trillions of dollars in defense spending. Those are steady streams of profitable revenue. The private enterprise will now just be a bonus and their defense contracts will be their largest sources of revenue. Caterpillar is because the Midwest simply isn’t motivated to grow. Florida and Texas are highly motivated to build and grow. So it makes sense for caterpillar to focus on the main source of their customers.

Chicage has nothing left to offer, other than high tax rates and high crime rates. The great lakes are no longer transport hubs that held together the large manufacturing sectors, and customers do not care where the headquarters of a business are. Then we get to the supply chain, and there is nothing in Chicago that can not ne sourced cheaper elsewhere. The only benifits Chicago has left to offer is tax breaks, on taxes that do not exist or are lower than the "special" rates offered to corporations in Chicago. The only reason to headquarter in Chicago is virtue signalling and the saying "go woke, go broke" is becoming true more often these days.

But that wasn’t the only reason Detroit deteriorated so spectacularly. The auto industry in the US weakened badly, but it didn’t outright collapse. Other cities and regions in the country have had similar downturns in key industries, and they found a way to survive. For example: Texas, Oklahoma, etc., when oil and commodity prices collapsed in the 1980s, then again in the late 1990s, and again during the Great Recession, and then again after 2014.

Sucks even more when you look at places that will be hurting due to climate change and lack of water/resources in the next 50 years…so while CHI does have their issues (particularly with taxes), it is actually just as cheap, if not cheaper, to live there NOW than it now does in South Carolina due to influx of folks relocating to southern states.

@@BlownMacTruck I have to agree. When I heard the list, I thought “one of these things is not like the others”. Boeing has become something of an embarrassment. Moving near DC is just an acknowledgment that they’re screwing up so badly they need to retreat to government protection. The others like CAT are going to hurt, though.

Born and raised Chicagoan here. I have love/hate relationship with this city. I moved out several times away from this city, but always come back learning that the grass isn’t always greener on the other side. Chicago has its problems, but it’s main problem is Fortune 500 companies suppressing the wages of the local population. Our taxes are pretty low when compared to the infrastructure of other cities, but the cost of living is still high compared to the rest of the Midwest. When Chicago loses population its mostly low wage earners. Also, Chicago needs to attract more winter activities from Jan-May. This is city is dead after Jan 1st and it doesn’t wake up until May-which makes the winters depressing. Think everything is gray from the sky, the salt covered snow and the modern style of architecture. Chicago really needs to help with planting pine trees so that we have some foliage in the winter. Chicago will forever be here and I intend to continue investing my money here.
