@Ibn Abney in both cases you mention, Oakland and NYC, both real estate markets were driven by the concentration of technology companies that came into the area with jobs, attracting the youth with better jobs.Chicago has............................. no technology companies wanting to set up shop there and the number one city in the US where people are leaving the area.Without technology companies wanting to set up shop in droves, it's a dying city in my opinion.
