You asked a question, you got our answers. Take 'em or leave 'em.
exactly.
and OP, if you're asking about the CITY itself, i.e. the built environment, yeah, Phoenix and Chicago are pretty different! But if this is some sort of sociological project, I don't know what to tell you.
Cool, thanks for all the replies. I will go with Phoenix since it got most votes. Funny though. I know alot of peeps who left Chicago for Phoenix. Their loss I guess.
Miami doesn't remind me of Chicago at all, but I'd say Phoenix is more of an opposite of Chicago for the reasons listed.
Miami would be included if we were talkin metropolitans, but the op said in the city proper, otherwise I would say Miami, but since we're talking city proper, yeah Phoenix, if not Phoenix then San Diego. Or better yet, how about San Antonio???? Its the second largest city in Texas, but if you've ever been there you would not think it was. And yes it is larger than Dallas.
Most cities in the West and several southern cities. Different climate and land or zoning issues. Also, most western cities (except San Fran.) came into there own in the mid-to-late 20th Century so the density is different also.
I see a lot of similarities to New Orleans actually which is part of the reason I originally fell in love with Chicago. A city with a lot of history and a lot of drinking problems..erm..solutions.
Doesn't matter anyway though since pre-Katrina NOLA only had about 600,000 residents and now only about 400,000 generously.
