Chicago has suffered declines in the private sector and in government funding since September 11 while public safety costs have increased. Despite the impacts of September 11, Chicago politics and government have remained mostly unchanged, although the Chicago City Council has become more of a rubber-stamp council. Chicago's future depends on success in preventing future terrorist attacks in the United States, on Chicago's not being attacked, and on decisions by private firms to continue to locate and build in central cities.
