Review of Chicago, Illinois

Horrible
Star Rating - 9/5/2019
Lived there for 40 years, worse place in the nation. The weather is nice about 3% of the time, terrible roads, angry people, expediently growing corruption, and taxes taxes taxes!!! Second highest in the country in fact. Don’t like a certain tax, don’t worry they’ll double it to solve another problem.
And don’t get me started on the crime!
Swirling down the toilet, no wonder 150,000 people have left over the past 5 years. Glad I was part of that for sure!

Peoria AZ has nice weather? It looks Mars with strip malls & tract housing and maybe a tree or two. AZ is where the white trash from CA & Midwest move too. I hate Chicago but Peoria AZ is less appealing than a root canal with no anesthesia.

You say “worst place in the nation”. Maybe you need to travel around the country some more. Maybe your just a really young boy. I’m guessing that since no self respecting adult male would call themselves Joey. Check out parts of Cleveland or Miami or Dallas or Memphis or Atlanta & more. They all have very violent areas & can compete or beat with Chicago. Fun fact, Chicago the actual city of Chicago has gained population not lost. The state of IL has lost population not Chicago. Rural IL is a giant factory farm dotted with ghost towns or near ghost towns with white trash christian extremists.
