Thanks for the REALITY CHECK ON ----> Your intent wherever Chicago is mentioned. Not just vs Manhattan.
Yes I would take almost any city over Chicago, but I'm not trashing Chicago just to have fun. I'm being honest. And in this particular case, Chicago cannot match up to Manhattan...even for a visitor. It's a fine city to visit yes, but not if you are looking for something comparable to NYC.

C-D is entertainment for most here. But your INTENT as a pattern I saw You proved as true by the blew post.

I'm sure all note in my post. LOL Chicago as my favorite Big city. I like Chicago's layout, close-knit housing with green-frontage and trees. It need not apologize for being very American and its bungalow-belt belt with a look of front-lawns looks suburban to some. But the closeness of housing on mostly 25'x125' standard lots. Should have NO ONE cry sprawl.
I find it un-pretentious and no need to apologize for it. The cities core is far from suburban or dead as a core should be. I want a quieter neighborhood to go home too. But knowing all I need is nearby is plenty sufficient.
I never downplay Minneapolis but its neighborhoods are very close to Chicago‘s Midwest-style. Its core locals will say lacks the retail component as some cities. But it is very clean and vibrant. Just maybe not Chicago level (opinion) and its neighborhoods have a definite tree-canopy even more then maybe Chicago. I never mentioned it in threads actually.
But I saw a agenda to downplay Chicago even in other threads. * You proved that with your posts above. It's not merely to promote Manhattan as a favorite alone in thread I saw you proved it.

I can see why you like Chicago. Different strokes for different folks. For me, density matters.

I guess I fail to see what is special about riding an elevated train, but OK. Seeing the buildings through the windows might be exciting for the first time. On the other hand, the light rail lines in Los Angeles are pretty cool. You can get some really interesting views on the Gold and Expo lines.
I never rode a elevated train that traveled through a downtown area near the office buildings. So that would be a new experience for me because I am used to either being underground or when outside just riding through neighborhoods.
So nowadays it only takes 306 posts to figure out that these two cities are in different leagues entirely.
Wow, that's some progress.
Yes, yet you just started another thread, comparing cities to NYC again. Interesting. If that's your feeling, what was your reasoning? Is there room for debate, in your opinion? Curious.

This is not a slight, but you have posted this exact same comment about ten times. What's the fascination with riding on a train through downtown?
