No matter what city you plug in to this sentence it comes down to a skills issue. Chicago is amazing. NYC is awesome too. Being miserable in any of the 25 largest cities in America is about you not the city.

Hi, I’m a NYer who lived in Chicago for 2 yrs. It has its charms but I found it mostly miserable: the winters, the measurably worse violent crime, the exceptional scale of segregation, the vast transit gaps, the monotonous suburban sprawl into farmland. It’s cheaper for a reason.

@liamigtbh I think that’s right. I also think Chicago isn’t a “global city” in the same way nyc is because it’s much more America focused in its industry than nyc & because America really only has one global city which is nyc.
