I don't know why you and others on this site insist on comparing the crime situation in Chicago to Detroit's. It's a silly comparison, no matter which way you and others spin it.
Chicago's still safer than Detroit by all measures.
And now you want to interject NYC, lol..
If you want to compare anything, how about the fact that Chicago and NYC has a functional and extensively rapid transit systm while Detroit doesn't, or that Chicago and NYC haven't lost more than 25 percent of their peak populations while Detroit has lost 2/3rds of its peak population and continues to lose more, or the fact that their Metro areas have at least doubled in size since the 1950s while Detroit's has been stagnant, amongst other things.
Chicago and NYC don't have the problem. Detroit's the one with the problem if it feels so inferior that it must grasp at straws to bring down other cities and make itself feel better.
