It’s crazy how alive and vibrant Chicago is compared to SF

Both are doomer red meat and Chicago def has way more violent crime, but the city is actually alive and this crime isn’t palpable in good areas 

Whereas SF is literally just a shithole with zombies everywhere. “It’s just the tendy” is cope

does Chicago have any industry creating new jobs?

There’s lots of options trading firms.

Chicago has a vibrant tech scene but nothing like the coasts.

I grew up there

Working on building zkTLS infra/products. A ruthless empiricist and meme connoisseur.

City is bankrupt, high crime and Citadel left?

The highways are setup to keep the bad parts away from the good. 

But yeah I spent part of my childhood in affordable housing there and it wasn’t a good time.

The city of Chicago is terribly governed, but atleast there’s not homeless people shutting on the streets

The government of SF is much worse, but the tech scene saves it.

They’ll spend billions of dollars to fight homelessness but won’t let people build more housing.

The American dream is alive and well 🫡
