Chicago is extremely underrated. LA doesn't even have a basic transit system, you have to drive everywhere. New York is super dirty and jam packed. Chicago is the best of both worlds.
Been there a few times. I would agree. Ny is dirty, crowded to... Chicago is very underrated. I think also the people are generally friendlier, plus you've got beaches and parks. There's definitely a lot to see and do.
I am from Sweden and I was there last year as part of a 2,5 month trip around the country! The last 10 days of my trip I visited the windy city Chicago! I swear this was the best trip I´ve ever made and quite honestly I am getting a bit emotional when I am writing this! Love Chicago and I love USA! The day when I left however was a sad day and I hope I can make it back there within a year or so!❤
@@kimjongun9555 I was in Miami, then Philadelphia, New York, Cincinnati, Nashville, Memphis, New Orleans and finally Chicago! Took the trains and occasionally bus between the cities to see as much as possible of the country!

Chicago is the best to me, from world-class museums and award-winning food and drink to a thriving live music scene, soaring architecture, and miles of waterways and green space, Chicago is a veritable playground to the culturalist. With so much to see and do, planning an itinerary can overwhelm tourists and longtime residents alike
However, one major problem that has a clear solution, in my opinion, is the US tax code. Please note that this is not a general complaint against US taxes, on the contrary, I personally believe that as a US citizen, we get a lot of benefits from the taxes we pay and that the IRS does a pretty good job of keeping everything in order, but it's a rail against overly complex, convoluted, and insanely inconsistent laws regarding how taxes are calculated that are so riddled with loopholes and free passes that they've become a pervasive injustice to ordinary Americans.
The solution: throw out the tax code and restart with a much more simplified (but not necessarily different) tax system, mainly by eliminating most of the exemptions and exceptions that benefit very, very few. (In fact, while I'm no expert, I would estimate that 99% of the existing tax code does not benefit the 95% of taxpaying US citizens.)
Nothing compares to Chicago. Even the winters can be looked as an adventure. Food, people, culture and so much more are hard to beat. This is the greatest City.
Chicago is the best looking city in the 🇺🇸. I visited there for the first time last year. I was shocked how clean it was. The architect of the building is unmatched. I felt right at home.
Crime and cold winters aside, Chicago, pound for pound is one of the greatest cities to live in America. The positives are many, and its setting is hard to beat. I lived there for thirty years and treasure mostly great memories of this beautiful but enormously underrated metropolis.
I lived there too but times change. What people are seeing now has been brewing for a very long time. The spike in crime is the DARK SIDE of Capitalism that NOBODY wants to talk about.
I just came back from Chicago. This was my first time visiting. It is truly impressive how clean and walkable the city is. There are a lot of green spaces, parks, and people walking in groups. Cleaner than Atlanta, GA, for sure. The traffic is rough on the highways, and you have to he watchful of pedestrians walking. Lastly, there is a lot of good food to go around.
I'm glad to hear that, because I'm a Chicagoan who was impressed with the appearance of Atlanta when I was there a decade ago. I found Atlanta beautiful and interesting and want to get back there to visit friends there soon.
As a Chicago born woman who now resides in the Deep South, I really miss Summertime Chicago. I was home last year visiting my family and drove the Dan Ryan just to see the city rise up like a 3D picture. It’s so beautiful and nothing like it anywhere. Winter I never have to step foot in the city but I love Chicago
I am pretty sure the dude that replied to you named Internal Happiness may have some racism issues, he also puts shame to that flag in his pfp. But yeah I would imagine Chicago would have much nicer summers than the South.
Just got back from Chicago. We stayed at Blackstone Hotel. Did not see one bit of garbage on the streets. The park was beautiful and relaxing. We enjoyed our short stay.
I was born and raised in Chicago (not far from the Sox stadium and Solider Field). I now have lived in NYC for over 17 years. After watching this video you’ve made me want to move back home! Great job.
I live in NYC but was pleasantly surprised when I visited Chicago for the first time in 2021. It’s definitely cleaner than NY and I felt completely safe and comfortable in the downtown area compared to other cities in the US I’ve visited. The architecture is beautiful and It’s definitely the closest city in appearance to NYC you would find in America 🇺🇸
What impresses me about Chicago is how clean it is for such a large city. It’s actively kept clean and seems relatively safe as long as you aren’t in south side which is pretty much what all Chicagoans said
@@lamar3697 You are so right! These people dont realize just how big and diverse the South Side is. Some south Side neighborhoods are dangerous and others are perfectly safe. Englewood is not the same as Hyde Park, which is not the same as China Town, which is not the same as Beverly, which is not the same as South Shore, which is not the same as Hegewisch. Englewood is notorious for violent crime and I used to go there all the time for work. I would walk from the train through the neighborhood to attend meeting at various public schools in Englewood. I never had any problems because I wasn't involved in gangs, drugs or organized crime.
I passed through Chicago once and didn't get to see much of it. The day was windy and gloomy. It was a bit cold even for late summer/early fall. I'm from South Texas and prefer the warmer weather. But this video gave me a good look at the city. I was surprised. I didn't realize how beautiful the place is, with great architecture and lots of things to do and see. It does look cleaner, safer and more manageable than New York. Chicago is still too big, too crowded and too cold for my taste, but I think it is underrated. All the movies seem to take place either in New York or LA. Yet, here is a city that offers the best of both cities.
NYC is actually quite a bit safer, but Chicago is very safe in all the neighborhoods you'd want to visit, which are the north, northwest, downtown, and south loop neighborhoods. I have lived in Chicago for 37 years, take transit and walk when and where I please, and have never had a problem. Normal vigilance such as a prudent person should exercise anywhere will keep you safe here.
@@james8156If you lowered taxes things would get worse, higher taxes on higher incomes means less income inequality, more funding for education, transportation, and growth, and it means a more worker owned city because the rich would be pushed out so that workers could boom once again.
I've lived here my entire life and you made one of the BEST and most COMPLETE videos of Chicago I've ever seen. You managed to nail being both brief and detailed all in one. WONDERFUL JOB.
That was such a great overview! Really, really informative. And I also liked that it was very balanced, and you didn't just sell it, focusing only on the positives. Was definitely worth watching the whole 28 min. Great job.
Buying a stock is easy, but buying the right stock without a time-tested strategy is incredibly hard. hence I will suggest you get yourself a financial- advisor that can provide you with entry and exit points on best stocks to buy now or put on a watchlist
You are right! I diversified my 450K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above 1.3m in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds.
Love this city! It is a cleaner, nicer, cheaper and friendlier version of New York. Where else can you leave your office and be at the beach in ten minutes? Winters can be tough, but summers here are awesome! Beautiful parks are available in every neighborhood. The taxes are high, but housing is cheaper than other large cities. The crime is primarily in a few specific neighborhoods, and I always feel safe in mine. Great place to live.
@@skywalker6648 NY doesn't rain like that unless it's the Summer depending on how humid it is even this april it didn't rain but it is cold out here. So u still can see the attractions even if it rains we have alot of indoor activities
My kind of town. I had the good fortune living in a 34th floor lakefront condo overlooking the lake and downtown for a few years. I was able to watch them put lights in Wrigley Field from the dining room. Just being home was an exciting daily show.
Me too and I grew in a neighborhood near Roseland. Would have been cool if he could have ventured into more Southside neighborhoods other than Hyde Park…lots of history and cool things to see there. But he would have needed a different guide to navigate it safely, so I understand why he didn’t capture more of the area.
Great video! As a lifelong Chicagoan, it makes me proud of my city. I’m so happy I was able to share some of your Chicago experience while you were here.
The government are really working hard but covid-19 stress. I was tested positive I lost hope and I wept all day. With Dr on youtube I got cured off(hiv) permanent👇 ru-vid.com/show-UCrGK2m-XVHfEiYTlAEyMC7A
Love Chicago! Summers are great! Winters are cold but a white Christmas is classic! Food and service! Foged Aboud it! Culture and diverse neighborhoods also Amazing! Salute’ from a proud Chicagoan-Italian 💪🏻🇮🇹
Chicago is my city, I lived here for 25 years.Chicago is famous mainly for its modern architecture and urban layout. The center of Chicago is called the Loop because the CTA railway line runs around it. The most famous is the world's talles skyscraper, the Sears Tower, with 110 floors and a height of 443m. Thank youn for the beautiful video and virtual tour from Chicago, Illinois.
Visited an old friend of mine in Chicago last year and I must say it is a beautiful city! I'm from San Francisco so I can relate to the parking, traffic, car jackings etc. but Chicago really seems like one of the metro cities where you can get more bang for your buck. Not to mention the people are friendly too. I would defiantly visit again... but probably in the spring or summer lol
I envy you. I adore my Chicago but have always been attracted to San Francisco as well. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the country, and one of the most exotic, with a fascinating history. How well do I remember the Haight-Ashbury days. I was very saddened to hear that City Lights bookstore closed.
Haight and Ashbury is one of my favorite places in SF, I worked at a skate shop there for a year and it was amazing, it's also one of the few neighborhoods that hasn't lost attractiveness due to the city's current state. @@chicagonorthcoast
@@johnstudd4245 That is great 👍 if you have been studying and learning about my country. I cannot discuss a lot about Mozambique, specially by social networks. I am in the southern region of the country. Why the question?
Because of the wind, which can make the place really cold in the winter, Chicago has very good air quality. As far as crime, there are some parts of the city you just want to stay out of. It also has many fantastic restaurants, and many great music clubs.
Thanks for your video. Last year when i was about to visit Chicago then i saw your video to decide which places i should visit. Your video helped me narrow down few places to visit in a single day.
Chicago has it all, and housing 1/3 the price as the other two world class city's in the US. If I were young again looking to start my young career, seeking a real city lifestyle, or were an artist. Chicago at the top of that list. One of the very best city's in North America.
I'm originally from New York visited in 1995 and it was 😍at first site, how can I not! just as stated in many comments, similar to New York but way much cleaner. This is the only reason why I sacrifice throughout Winter 🥶🤷. Summer's in Chicago are far beyond amazing, truly fun City.
I’m not from Chicago, but traveled there a lot for work. Chicago plus it’s suburbs is a cool region minus some south side, south suburbs, and west side neighborhoods and toll roads. You get tolled to death traveling through suburban Chicago. Every person I know that’s not from Chicago considered relocating to Chicago after one visit.
@@dennis771 I’m from The East Bay brotha right next to Oakland. I don’t f*ck with LA lol. But all my boys in the military I met from Chicago told me don’t ever go there mind you they were all from the hood. Like I said the downtown looks really solid though
@@doragary3717 No specific one really, because there are lots of investment plans and strategies littered all over the internet today, for instance, investments like real estates,gold, drop shipping crypto currency and lots more
@@brightlight7217 it’s sub consciously them trying to one up each other or show that they know weird things. I think it’s because they are all raised to be super competitive.
I'm from Chicago. Love Chicago! I feel like I've traveled the world without leaving the city. I love our ethnic enclaves. Much better than melting pots. We have those too but not as many as the ethnic enclaves that i love!
It's the same thing I thought when I saw the video, you feel like you're traveling and seeing the world in the same city you live in 🤗 so amazing....I hope to visit Chicago soon 😍
I would like to know you better my dear we can be friends if you can lean send me your address of your hangout WhatsApp I will really love to be your friend my dear.
Seriously enjoyed this video, fond memories of beautiful Chicago. Lived n studied close to Lake Michigan. So much to do in the weekend. Lived near the Science n Industry museum.
I visited Chicago in 1991, and have always wanted to get back there. I loved it then. Such a beautiful and interesting city. I started in New York and worked my way west. The difference between the two was stark, maybe even more so back then; it was before Giuliani was mayor of New York and while I really loved it there too, it was not safe and the people whilst not rude, did not go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The people in Chicago though, were warm and friendly and even when I walked into a couple of bad neighbourhoods, I didn't feel like I was in danger or that I needed to get the hell out of there, like I did in New York's Harlem and Spanish Harlem. Am hoping to take my partner to Chicago next year as she has never been. I will definitely this video to get some tips on where to take her!
Finally back to what you do best - showcasing a city with all its virtues and vices. Very informative and slick. Chicago lives up to its reputation of being the windy city with gusts which you can lean into if not get carried away. Outside of the cold months it's definitely a beautiful city with a lot of green spaces but also enough of concrete to give competition to the big Apple as far as construction goes. Thanks for a wonderful tour.
Except he should have kept obama out of it as we are ashamed of him. Glad he mentioned that being a democratic liberal city is why taxes and violence rule this city. And winters are easy, summers are brutal
Love ur videos, they are very informative with a touch of real people who live there. As a non american i love ur U.S state videos aswell as the U.S city videos! Keep em coming!! 👍☺️☺️
I love Chicago, no need for a car. As for the Winter it is my favourite season so no problem with that part of it. Thank you for the video brought back many memories. All the best.
Another great documentary video on Chicago, Slava. I enjoyed watching it and learning a bit more about Chicago. Hope to be able to visit the city one day.
OMG!!! I'm randomly watching this at 4:30am and realize that you came on my boat tour... LOL... I hope you enjoyed it. BTW, the Chicago Water Tower is 1869. Remember, don't just look forward, look up and appreciate the built up environment around you. We're 230 sq mi, so I'm glad you got out of downtown, but you have much more ground to cover. I look forward to future Chicago neighborhood vids.
hi thanks for the best food review for all of us and glad that you always bring something new and diffferent you are the motivation for new youtubers like me :)
Best city in the world! Fantastic review! Returned from Chi-Town a couple of weeks ago...man, what a city! Love Chicago! ❤️😁 (P.S. please resolve the crime issue, so we can all enjoy)
This is a great video sir. You did an awesome job! Chicago is one my favorite American cities to visit...besides DC. Chi-town has such a beautiful skyline and downtown! We loved it when we did the architecture tour. Just nice! If it were 5 hours more south, with better weather...I'd live there!
Thanks a lot for the beautiful video. I've been wanting to visit Chicago for so long, but could never do so. As soon as I saw the word Chicago, I had to watch it. THANK YOU 🙏
As someone who’s from and even currently lives in the south side, I honestly must say the south side is not that bad. Bronzeville is actually thEE 2nd most historic African American neighborhood in the country after Harlem in New York. Chicago has the best food, and some of the most gorgeous architectural homes in the city. Englewood actually was at one time the busiest place in Chicago outside of the loop. The SEARS corporation had its flagship store in englewood right on 63rd and Halsted (I believe it was halsted). People should honestly come to the south side, it’s not that bad as the media portrays. There are areas that aren’t the best but it’s not the most dangerous place in America, trust me. What can happen on the south side can happen anywhere in America and the world. Besides that, I think this guy did a great job showing the city, This is world class city, a welcoming city. Come visit and don’t be scared.
I've been saying that for years. The South Side is not as bad as some try to make it out to be. Yes, there are parts of the South Side that are bad, but the whole South Side is not bad. There are parts of the South Side that are indeed beautiful; Hyde Park, Kenwood, Beverly, Mount Greenwood, Pill Hill, west Morgan Park, and small sections like Jeffrey Manor and west Chatham. Not to mention the South Side is home to one of the top universities on the globe, the University of Chicago. That school gets ranked with the likes of Oxford, Yale, Princeton, and Harvard. The problem is when something bad happens on the South Side, the media simply says it happened on "the South Side". That means they're connecting the South Side with something negative and over time that gives people an inaccurate portrayal of the entire South Side.
@@GreenLine4444 it's just republicans and conservatives attacking chicago because its a liberal city in a blue state. they love to make up lies about chicago, la, and nyc.
You have one of the most comprehensive videos of a city. I definitely would recommend your channel they will visit New York, Taiwan, Chicago etc. So many helpful information. Bravo
I was born and raised in Chicago, and wow I didn’t realize how beautiful the city actually is lol. It’s weird seeing it from a tourist’s perspective as I’ve been to many of those places countless times and don’t really see it as anything special. Love from Pilsen🇲🇽
