Bears01 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 My hometown. Third biggest city in the United States. A landmark city in terms of modern skyscrapers. For everyone who has visited, wanted to visit, or lived there: what are your thots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jotham Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I visited it in 2019 and I absolutely love it. In fact, it's my favorite city. It unfairly gets a bad reputation because of its crime rates, but it's such an amazing city and I want to move there someday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dei Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Avoid at all cost. Full of carjackings, shootings, and violent crimes every day. Proof: I live here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop Life Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Probably the most beautiful and sensibly designed city in the US. Navigation is incredibly easy, the public transit is excellent and the architecture is stunning. And on top of all that, the rent is surprisingly cheap. And don't get me started on the men Living there was one of the happiest times of my life. I was at the epicenter of the riots and the subsequent crimewaves that followed and I ended up leaving, but I miss it dearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMKARDASHIAN Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 My dad is from there and his entire family lives there so I essentially spent my childhood there during summers and vacations. I absolutely adore it for the sole fact that it holds so many good memories from when I was a child/teenager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

publikcitizen Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I really enjoy living here, but it has some major issues such as the pension crisis, underfunded CPS, potholes and old, crumbling bridges that need desperate repairs or a redo, the occasional corrupt politics, the police force being short-staffed leading a rise in carjacking and other crimes, and gang violence on the South and West side of Chicago. However, here are some positives I really love about Chicago: I can get around fairly easy using the city's public transit system so I save a lot of money by using it instead of Uber/Lyft, great food scene, a thriving gay community in Northalsted and Andersonville, a lot of developments happening around the city (Fulton Market/West Loop, Hyde Park, Lincoln Yard), more investments happening in low income areas of Chicago, and of course the lakefront with the beaches. I love biking along the lakefront! The only thing I can do without is the brutal winter we get here lol. Overall, it's a great city to live in despite its numerous flaws like every cities have. It's more affordable to live here than some cities like NYC or LA but it depends on what suits you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hallad173 Posted April 17, 2022 Share Posted April 17, 2022 Chicago is cool but it’s just too much. Even the drivers didn’t know how to really get around the city lol. Cute for a vacay but it’d be overwhelming to live there especially as a driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
