Chicago is a wonderful city, imo. If it was up to me, I'd probably be living there now, but there sre factors that dictate otherwise, so I'm here in the suburbs, benefiting from the impact of Chicago's blueness on statewide elections.
What's really ironic is that here in Illinois, we just lived through months of the (failed) RW candidate for governor calling Chicago a hellhole and running ads claiming that a new law to eliminate cash bail is somehow going to bring "Chicago's violence" to "your town"!!!!! 
Funny how some people see a hellhole where others see a great city.
