I'd say Houston. I can't imagine associating this city with cowboys riding their horses in a desert or prairie-like background. There's nothing Texan about Houston or the surrounding region of the city.

That's not what I think when I hear Houston. I think unregulated sprawl resulting in devastating environmental consequences. Oh, and toll booths every stinking mile. And relentless heat/humidity.
What he was trying to explain, which you appear to be willfully unwilling to engage with is that most of Chicago’s murders happen in five of its 77 neighborhoods. The majority of the city, including the much of the southside is safe
The most crime ridden parts of Chicago are among the most crime ridden areas on earth. There are large swaths of land on the south and west sides that even if they don’t have the majority if the homicides they have unacceptably high crime rates. I would say 40% of Chicago’s square mileage is unacceptably crime ridden.

Seattle isn't as urban, wealthy, expensive, rainy, or tree-filled as its reputation.
When people show up expecting us to be 2/3 of San Francisco's urban oomph they might be disappointed. Things are trending quickly but we're far behind.
The rain thing seems to be toning down now that we have mostly outdoor stadiums, so at least some people see us not raining.
In past decades there was much less tree planting or preservation. A lot of neighborhoods are relatively tree-less even today.
We're expensive, but nothing like the really expensive cities.

Ahhhh, I get it. You don't agree with one unfair and inaccurate stereotype primarily because you agree with another unfair and inaccurate stereotype. Makes total sense.
But it does prove that Houston deserves to be mentioned in this thread. When I lived in DC and LA, most people that had no real concept of Houston thought this way. Unsurprising.
Sizes of US Urban Areas, in square miles, for reference. Don't see too much different between Houston and everyone else.

Agreed,,the city of Chicago is just too huge to put in this crime box..

I would say that image is associated more with Fort Worth or maybe San Antonio. Houston is known for it's oil & gas industry, pollution, traffic, heat, and sprawl.
