Chicago is so whack I don't get what the big deal is
Umm ok so Lake Shore is nice so is the Wacker and Michigan Dr.
That's about it. If you go north it's cramped and the roads are terrible and the infrastructure is all brick and mortar lacking in contemporary architecture. Then there's this Egypt like setting with alien hordes everywhere who clearly stick out like a sore thumb.
Then if you overshoot Downtown on the way down from the North you end up in the South Side which feels like a replica of the inner abysses of Somalia or Congo.
People do not stop at the stop signs and at every corner there is some African-themed dress shop making you wonder if you're really near the Canadian border or somewhere in the rainforest canopy of Sub-Saharan Africa.
The only thing eclipsing this misery is cold dark rainy glum weather.
It's a wonder anti-depressive tablet manufacturers do not claim this city as their prime geographic territory for banner sales.
Willis Tower is nice and that's about it.
Hopefully you are just visiting - sounds like Chicago isn't the spot for you.
Former Chiraqer here. Can confirm. Went to the East Coast after my mba. Never going back.
NYC has the Hamptons. Chicago has…Milwaukee!? Lol.
Chicago has the North Shore...
True.
My friends families have lake houses in Michigan which is way cheaper than the Hamptons too.
Chicago is cool to visit (for the first time) but the thing about Chicago is once you’re outside of the city where are you going to go? Wisconsin? Indiana? IOWA!?
East Coast > West Coast > Gridlock Midwest (w/ the exception of Cheese Curds)
Chicago is a pretty big city (3rd largest as a matter of fact). How often do you need to venture outside of Chicagoland for anything?
And if it's that imperative, Chicago has one of the world's busiest airports to get you to where you need/want to go.
What part of Chicago looks like Egypt with aliens?
I did 20 fuckin’ years
I assume he’s referring to an area with a heavy middle eastern demographic and aliens being illegal immigrants
Makes sense since NYC has no diversity, I'm sure.
OP I doubt you should live in a large American city considering your racist proclivities. Maybe you should move to bumblefuck Idaho or somewhere like Charlotte
Observing salient facts are now racist proclivities.
OK.
"Other cultures bad" is an opinion, not a fact.
And what is so wrong about African themed dress shops specifically that you decided to mention it? People embracing their heritage and entrepreneurial spirit to service their community and invest in “less desirable” parts of town? To me that sounds like the American dream at work, no different to the Chinese take out or Greek pizza parlor. Maybe the city lifestyle isn’t for you if you can’t handle diverse communities. You should probably fuck off back to whatever bumfuck suburb you crawled out of.
there's something seriously wrong with Greeks making pizza
Very based and Chicagopilled post. But i've really liked it when I have been. There's an extreme degree of separation from the good areas and the bad areas. You can basically look at a map, cordon off the areas where the crime lives, and then avoid the crime.

Innocent title, but blatantly racist post.
The OP's thread is misguided but it's not racist. Don't be a woke liberal who thinks everything they disagree with is "racist."
