'''Chicago''' is a city located in the northeastern corner of the state of [[Illinois]] on the shore of the southwestern tip of [[Lake Michigan]].  Chicago is a relatively young city, first incorporated in 1833 and completely rebuilt after a city-wide fire in 1871.  It is located mostly within [[Cook County]], but a corner of its O'Hare Airport is in DuPage County.  It is the largest city in Illinois and the third-largest city in the [[United States]], with 2.8 million residents, after New York City and Los Angeles (which surpassed Chicago in the 1970s).<ref>http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/17/1714000.html</ref>

[[Democrat]]s have run this city since 1931, and both residents and businesses have fled as a result. Chicago's population has fallen to its lowest since 1920.  It is the murder capital of the [[U.S.]] for the 12th straight year, through 2023, and has an epidemic of violent carjackings.  Chicago is projected to fall to the fourth-largest city in 2030, as [[Houston]] surpasses its population by then.<ref>https://www.click2houston.com/features/2020/01/24/ask-2-when-will-houston-overtake-chicago-as-the-third-most-populous-city/</ref>
