Chicago is a very poor example... the city is terribly run and horribly corrupt and has been or decades. There are reasons the rest of Illinois has tried to secede from them.

Most of the revenue that funds programs in counties outside of Cook comes from the Chicagoland MSA, so I guess they can be our guests; we can use the money.
Sounds more like that makes it a particularly good example.
