Why just these cities and Chicago is a different type of city than the other three anyway.

Eh it's not that different that they cannot be compared. Plus most of the really terrible neighborhoods in Chicago are pretty suburban looking. From the sound of things Chicago has by far the worst neighborhoods of the four cities.

I would say it is because while they may look suburban looking now, it wasn't always like that. Chicago ghettos in the past had highrise projects, midrise projects, and lowrise projects. The other three was mostly apartment complexes spread out over a general area and yeah, Chicago probably had the worse of the four.

That's true, no high-rise projects in Los Angeles, now or in the past.
