Crime has some women business owners rethinking their futures in Chicago

-- Crime, safety, and lack of police patrols have all been held up as reasons some small business owners in Chicago say they have had enough and are getting ready to move out.

But after someone vandalized her store and tried to steal a purse while she was in the shop, last week, she is rethinking her future in Chicago – and she is not alone.Ging said stress has replaced the joy of working in her cupcake and cookie storefront. Incidents like the one that happened this past Friday are the reason.This happened in broad daylight at 10:20 a.m. Friday.

Ging is fired up. So is Uzma Sharif, the owner of Chocolat Uzma, at 1900 S. Halsted St. in the Pilsen community. After nine years in Pilsen, a 2021 burglary, and a friend's carjacking just blocks away, Sharif is closing her retail shop at the end of September and moving it to the suburbs.

Sexist nonsense, not 'news.'

This city does not deserve the hard work and value that these businesses offer. So, it is okay for the gay and 'trans' homeless to take over the Castro sidewalks because they feel safe there? Craziness.
