I think the whole internet is really. Think of it as a border, all that gun violence you hear? 99.9 south side.

Rest of Chicago is safe as fuck with yuppies everywhere

All of Chicago is violent. Downtown Chicago is relatively safe if you're not alone at night, but if you want to live close to downtown Chicago you'd better have a firearm in your house.

It's not showing a shooting Summit. It's showing a shooting in Garfield Ridge. Which is a neighborhood in Chicago. The map is only showing shootings in Chicago proper. That blue outline is a map of Chicago, not any neighboring towns. That is the actual shape of the city. And shootings happen pretty much all over the city. I don't think you know how to read a map, or crime statistics.

In Chicago you'd be lucky to find a studio under 1,000. 1 bedrooms 1,500. 2 bedroom expect over 2k. My friend is renting out one bedroom of her 2 bedroom apartment for 1,500

Been to Chicago many times (I live in Milwaukee). The place gets worse every time I go there.

Things I don't like about it:

- Getting anywhere in a vehicle is a pain in the ass, at any time of any day (heavy traffic).
- Homeless/crazy people harass you (this has happened literally every time I've been in Chicago).
- Service at restaurants and other establishments is very hit or miss. Lots of rude employees.
- People drive like maniacs, and don't even have the courtesy to use their blinkers. How fucking hard is that?
- Really not that many unique things to do there. I'd rather be in a low key (but still large) city that doesn't come with all the cons of a massive city like SHITcago.


Last time I spent time in Chicago went like this:

- We spent 30 minutes looking for parking.
- Some crazy lady threatened to stab us because my sister supposedly gave her "a look". She followed us, screaming profanity, for about 5 blocks until we arrived at our destination restaurant.
- At the restaurant we were met with rude service. We asked what is good there and the waitress' response was, "everything, just look at the menu".
- The food was dog shit, even though locals told us it was amazing.

This isn't true unless you relegate it to luxury apartments or places with lots of square footage.

I agree it's hard to find a studio under 1000. But you can get modest 1 or 2 bedrooms for cheaper than you claim.

Nope. I've lived here my entire life. My 1 bedroom in a safe North side neighborhood is 750 with heat included.

Many more around for 900 for better accommodation.

And Logan square is gentrified as hell now. Don't worry about getting shot lest its on the Puerto Rican parade.

That all depends where you eat. You can't say the food was dog shit when there's restaurants every 5 feet. I do work for restaurants and I've been to every michelin starred restaurant, and there's a lot of great places to eat

Yeah sure usually the food there is good, but it's overpriced. I was mainly talking about how the service is bad/rude half the time. Sometimes that's OK too, one time it was even good. But GOOD should be the norm. It is in Milwaukee. Not in Chicago. The comment on the food being dog shit was just the cherry on top of our last visit, that isn't normal.
