East coast migrants are betting that they can live well by buying cheap homes in the san fernando valley and inland empire - until they face the 2+ hour commute.

Probably the same ones available to them in NYC? I adore Chicago's architecture, but I would feel claustrophobic not living on a coast. I'd rather be homeless in San Diego or destitute in NYC/Jersey (current situation). Plus they have lame pizza.

Chicago sucks. Not sure why anyone would want to live there.

Nice weather but you'd be giving up so much to live there. Having lived in both LA and NYC, it's obvious which one is better.

Most of the same things you find here, just maybe in smaller supply.

Nah. Chicago is one of the last places I'd want to be. It doesn't offer what NYC does, not even close. I even prefer LA over it.
