5 Things I will NEVER do in Chicago! 

Why would you leave California for Chicago? I'm curious. I'm born and raised in Chicago, living here again, but spent decades in California and only left when things got too expensive and the homeless situation got so bad. Within 7 years of being here, it's just as bad in Chicago now. Super frustrating. Beautiful city, but not safe. And man, I miss the Socal weather and beaches.

I’m heading to Chicago from SD as well!

@@Silvertonguetony brace yourself. The crime and expense here is worse than Socal.

Buy a box fan , keep it on all night. It will drown out the excess noise

Ok metra is definitely not as bad a driving!

Very wise. I grew up taking trains alone as a child and today, I won't take them at all. Too much violent crime, 24/7.

It's your funeral. 😂

Thank you!!

1.7M people use the CTA daily--2.5 violent crimes per 1 million riders on CTA. It's perfectly fine--millions use it.

@@Chicago_Jayhawk sure, sweetie, keep telling yourself that. Plenty of violent crime isn't reported, believe it or not. And I've been here most of my life. I used to take the train alone all over as a kid. I wouldn't take it now without an armed bodyguard, and if you do, you're not too bright. It also sounds like you've never been the victim of violent crime. I have. Multiple times, in this crap hole city. Come back here when it's you or a loved one making up the stats, reported or not. That is, if you care about anyone. And stop living in a delusional bubble.

@@Chicago_Jayhawk and just in case the link I sent is removed by yoo toob "A man was seriously wounded after being stabbed and robbed on the Belmont Red Line station Thursday night. He's one of about 500 victims on the Chicago Transit Authority's trains and stations this year, which is on pace to be the most violent in two decades, according to an analysis of Chicago Police Department data. While the Chicago Police Department boosted its presence at stations this summer, an analysis of the department's dispatch data shows that hasn't made a dent in violent incidents. Violent crime such as robberies, aggravated assaults, batteries, sexual assaults, and homicides trended up since 2016, after years of declines. There were less than half as many violent crimes in 2015 as there are now. While many compare life in terms of before and "after" the pandemic, crime on CTA trains was already high before Covid, with 593 violent incidents reported in 2019, the most in any year in two decades. By then, the city had endured months of bad headlines. A CTA train operator was pushed onto tracks at the Granville Red Line stop in April. The following week, three people were robbed at gunpoint, minutes apart, on the Pink Line. The attacks picked up pace on just about every line. Knife attacks increased on Orange and Green lines, and repeated attacks occurred in the Loop and South Loop stations. Four people were injured during a robbery in Lincoln Park at the North/Clybourn station Red Line station in July." I could go on here, but... Also consider that when the DNC was in town, the Gold Coast was heavier with cops and barravadrs than I've ever seen in my life. Why? To protect the VIPs from the increasing and predictable violent crime here. End of.

@@Chicago_Jayhawk I've posted two replies with links and even copied and pasted articles citing increasing violent crime on the trains here. Both were deleted. Interesting. Suffice it to say, you're wrong, sweetheart. It's very dangerous on the trains now at all hours. There's a reason it has been a focal point for the governor for years. Because they haven't made a dent in the rising crime there. They never will without a cop in every car and that isn't happening. I've been the victim of violent crime more than once in this crap hole town. Have you? Didn't think so. Must be nice in your little bubble of ignorance. Come back when that pops.

I thought when you said no one cares what you put on a dog you meant like sweaters on pets and I couldn’t figure out how this related to this video 😂😂

Super dangerous check it out.
