Shit's been like that since at least 2004 in Chicago, and my bet is that everyone with the power to do anything simply can't see the decline because it's so slow. It was like this 20 years ago, it's been fine for 20 years, so it's gonna be fine for another 20, right? Then let some other poor sucker of mayor raise taxes to try and pay for shit.
