When Judy and I lived in the 'greater Chicago area' in the '60s, the city was 
an example of a very large city that actually functioned in contrast to the 
'greater Los Angeles area' which has moved progressively further out-of-control 
since the '50s. The way Chicago worked was, there were two lists of Rules: 
one set was written down. The second was not, but everyone with a lick of sense 
realized it existed. Thus, one of my close friends and most of his his 
neighbors on one short street in the downtown area all voted Repubilcan in one 
election. That winter, the snow plows skipped their street for 4 months.... Next 
election, some votes changed and the street was plowed regularly; undoubtably a 
coincidence. All in all, Chicago was a great place to earn a living but a 
horrible place to raise a family plus the weather sucked 30% of the time. Then we 
moved to CA. A great place to live and the weather was nice 80% of the time but 
the politicians sucked worse than Chicago and the bad-driver population got 
worse then S.E Asia. 
Sometimes, you gotta choose your poison- I agree with Cal.
