No. Although Chicago is expensive, it's very affordable compared to NYC.

My man, listen to what I'm telling you right now, NYC is WAAAAAAAAAY more expensive than Chicago's realestate. Please do research and don't embarrass yourself on here like this. Especially accusing me of being "ignorant". I've lived in both cities, and looked at realestate in both cities.

This "tag team" of Chicago haters is starting to sound like a couple of third graders on the playground. " My dad is way smarter than your dad, and my house costs way more money than yours, and I'm way smarter than you are."

When you talk to people making pompous claims that could not be supported by any evidence the discussion resolves to this. Why do you call people critical of Chicago haters? Chicago seems to have a strong persecution syndrom: all critique of Chicago is anti-Chicago hate, media is biased in New York and against us.

By the way. Credit to downtown1 for playing fair.

I believe I said "SOUTHBOUND on 55". What do illegal immigrants have to do with it NOT being a cookie cutter land? And the temp? Again, what are you even talking about?

The international airports, Philly, Newark, DC, Baltimore, Boston. They have a highspeed train that travel 150 miles per hr to all those locations by the way.

I don't hate Chicago. But I'm not going to say stuff that ain't true about it just cause I like it.

Actually pittsteelerfan is much different as myself as he LOVES Chicago.

In Chicago however any critique is branded as hate or bias. Is there some kind of cult going on in Chicago?
