Review of Chicago, Illinois


My Favorite City in the Country
Star Rating - 8/14/2023
Chicago is probably the best value in a major city that you can find and my personal favorite city. It will become increasingly important as climate change makes the winters more mild. Lots to do here and many job opportunities. No large city is perfect, however, Chicago's problems are very fixable if given a few competent leaders. Property taxes and crime rate aren't great, however, property taxes are better than NY and crime is better then Houston so it could be worse. There are many more positive things I could say but visiting is a must. Planning to move there shortly after graduation.
