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.
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!❤

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.)
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 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.
@@wulver810 They're very different, but both are beautiful in different ways. If you visit Atlanta, you MUST rent a car, though everyone should ride MARTA in from the airport at least once. Chicago is a lot more walkable, and most of the things you'll want to see are close together downtown, while others are a short bus or train ride away. Get a 3 day or 5 day Ventra pass when you're at the airport. And stay off Lower Wacker Drive, please.

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.
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.
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.
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 🇺🇸
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 firmly believe that there is no other country like America which takes care of each and every citizen. I also have a strong desire to live in America with my family for the last time of my life but we have no budget and no one to call us there but one faith. That we will go to America and live there in a great democratic country which has really proved....Again I am very excited to come to America with my whole family. I love America...really ❤❤❤❤❤❤
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
@@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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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👇 ruclips.net/channel/UCrGK2m-XVHfEiYTlAEyMC7A
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.
One of the most underrated cities in the world to visit. World class museums. Incredible food scene at a much more reasonable price to other large cities. Magnificent lakeshore and riverwalk for walking, jogging or cycling. Stunning architecture with some of the tallest buildings in the US. Great sports town (though we are in a slump). And best of all, the people are nice and authentic. Come visit!
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.
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.
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.
These videos give me context to why the US continues to be the world leader since the last 60-70 years or more. China has got beautiful infrastructure too, but people are not nearly as wealthy and the oppression and lack of freedom there is not worth living there. Continue to shine on, you don't need to be made great again, you're already wonderful..
I have lived in Chicago for 45 years. I was born in Poland. In 1977 the communists expelled me from Poland and I settled in Windy City. Why here? - Chicago is the second largest "Polish" city (after Warsaw). In the so-called Greater Chicago is home to nearly one and a half million people of Polish descent. Because my profession is a professional sailor, I also sailed here on Lake Michigan, from here I set off on my sailing yacht to Poland in 1991 (after the fall of communism) to Poland. From Chicago, I also started my sailing journeys throughout the Chicago River, Illinois and Mississippi Rivers to Caribbean. From Chicago I sailed the Great Lakes, the Erie Canal, and the Hudson River to New York and further in the world. To this day, I live in Chicago - it's my base. But from here they fly to my yacht mooring somewhere in the Atlantic, I sail somewhere and... back to Chicago.
Wow, that is impressive! You sound like you have a fascinating life. I'm genuinely impressed by people who can truly sail and wish I'd learned to do that when I was younger.
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 💪🏻🇮🇹
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.
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.
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.
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.
@@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
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
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
PSA to unaware American viewers: When he says 0 degree weather average, he means Celsius! At first I was confused when he said that during the video cause our daily average temps during January are around 27-34F, which would be right around 0C, give it take a few degrees. So yes, 0C / 32F average temps in the dead of winter is correct. Probably not cold at all for our fellow Russians! But I must say, here in the US, you can go way colder or way warmer! Minnesota, North Dakota, and Alaska are multiple orders of magnitude colder and Florida, Texas, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii among others are multiple orders of magnitude warmer. I like to call Chicago the "goldilocks porridge" of weather in the US. Ya get a little bit of everything, but nothing too extreme, except for the summer thunderstorms.
Lol, "nothing too extreme"?? Are you kidding? Chicago temps was a minus 45 degrees F. below zero during the polar vortex for a week a few years ago and you can always count on some extreme cold temps in the dead of winter. Like minus 10 degrees F. to 10 degrees for weeks and that doesn't even take into account how cold it feels like (i.e., wind chill factor).
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!
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🇲🇽
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.
@@realcoolvision Definitely appreciate what you did here in Chicago! You and your crew are right up there with Rick Steves. I love and live in Chicago and we do sightseeing every chance we get. Chicago gets a bad rap for crime lately but I'm sure the crime is only temporary. Once were post-pandemic normal again the criminal's won't be getting away with it anymore.
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

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
I live in Chicago on the far northwest side. Growing up here I went on many school field trips to world class museums and took it for granted until I was an adult. Good video about my home town ❤
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.
Thank you for giving Chicago more love and attention like it deserves. Pretty sure I agree with everything you said in the video. And Chicago is my life. For giving a overlooked city more love, you earned a subscriber. This video needs more views Edit: DO NOT COMMENT IF YOU DISLIKE CHICAGO!
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
Chicago has been home for me for the last 31 years and yes other than the high tax and crime, I will not exchange it for any other city in the US. I happen to live in Hyde Park about a mile from from the Obama house and I have to say you captured the neighborhood well. The world class Museum of Science and Industry is in Hyde Park which I think you didn't mention. Chicago is known as the City of Neighborhoods. Even the high crime neighborhoods have so much fascinating history. Thank you for highlighting and presenting a balanced view of Chicago!
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.
The Great Chicago Fire is probably the best thing that ever happened to the city. It allowed urban planners to basically build an entirely new city from the ground up. It's not too dense or congested like NYC, nor is there the obnoxious urban sprawl of LA. Everything is accessible, it's hard to get lost, and public transportation is pretty decent by American standards.
I was born in Chicago Illinois. Now I live in Everett Washington. Thanks for making such an informative report on the windy city of Chicago. We'll done and you gave a lot of information on sightseeing.
❤❤What a beautiful city...Chicago is!❤❤And here in India we have wondering Stray Cows and Dumps of Garbage in every street...and every nook and corner of every Indian city ❤❤❤
Chicago is like my 2nd hometown. I lived in Chicago suburb for 22 years and moved to Colorado. I miss many things in Chicago but not cold and windy winter and hot and muggy summer. Still, Chicago is such a wonderful architectural city that is worth visiting many times.
@@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 love Chicago and will never leave it, but I love NYC as well and I'm envious of NYC's relatively low violent crime rates. NYC homicide and violent crime rates per 100,000 population are very low compared to all the other large cities. Only San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and Minneapolis can compare.
@@Bob-te3le It's infinitely more affordable than NYC. A condo in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or even Queens that compares with my place in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood would cost 4X as much. I'd have to go clear to Staten Island and who would want that?
Thank you! This might sound silly but I never knew that L stood for elevated. I've never lived in an area with public transportation. I've only heard it mentioned in songs. Love the video and learned so much about Chicago. All your videos are great.
I put Chicago on my go to list. The hot dog, deep dish pizza and the Italian beef sandwich, I would have to try when I visit there. Yum! 🍕🌭🥪 The gentleman Chicagoan did a great job showcasing Chicago too. Love your videos. Wish you posted more often. 😊👍🏽😊👍🏽😊👍🏽
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.
Winter as an adventure… that was true when we had big storms. I was a kid in 1967 and the snow was taller than me.
then comes London, UK and SURPRISE
nothing beats London
Winter in Chicago is the best. The city feels so fresh and blue in winter + clouds of course.

The United States has many problems, but most of them lack clear solutions, so they remain unresolved problems.
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.

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.
Its better than LA
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.
@@dennis771 LA is evil
@abbkk Whatever LA has to offer, its not worthy to live like a peasant
People say Chicago is so bad but it’s really only the south side
I firmly believe that there is no other country like America which takes care of each and every citizen. I also have a strong desire to live in America with my family for the last time of my life but we have no budget and no one to call us there but one faith. That we will go to America and live there in a great democratic country which has really proved....Again I am very excited to come to America with my whole family.
I love America...really ❤❤❤❤❤❤
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.
It's alot different I agree with ny being more expensive though we have more attractions to visit though in NY in the tourist section
@@Guerrillachop Though Chicago doesn't get all that rain and flooding that NYC gets. So that you can see all the "more" attractions, lol.
@@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
We Chicagoans are lucky to have access to such a great city-- problems aside, it truly is an awesome town in which to work, live and play.
Vote out all those corrupt politicians and lower the taxes and things could get better.
We just have dog shit people that live in it
Corruption is also there???
Hello
@@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.
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.
You’re right
He mentioned the Sears (Willis) Tower.
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 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.
Hello
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.

@@pietrojenkins6901 Shut Up
@@pietrojenkins6901 Yes even with that
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.
Come during the summer! Summer time Chi is one of the best in the country! And we’ve had movies like transformers and The Dark Knight be filmed here!!
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.
I really appreciate how you took the time to get as much actual historic and well known places and what it has to offer
I lived in Chicago for 27 years it’s beautiful and it has its ups and downs but I gotta say it is more affordable than l.a. that’s for sure
I love Chicago! The way I describe it is that if looks and feels like a Northeastern city but still has Midwestern friendliness/hospitality!
Proud to be a Chicagoan. Love Chicago and its diverse neighborhoods.
Me too ❤
I'm so happy Chicago picked me 3 years ago. I love the city, energy, diversity, welcoming people and overall it is a beautiful place.
Chicago always surprises visitors ... american greatest city
One of the most underrated cities in the world to visit. World class museums. Incredible food scene at a much more reasonable price to other large cities. Magnificent lakeshore and riverwalk for walking, jogging or cycling. Stunning architecture with some of the tallest buildings in the US. Great sports town (though we are in a slump). And best of all, the people are nice and authentic. Come visit!
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.
Move back home. Chicago is better than New York City. I'm sure in your heart you know I'm right.
Wow
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 lived in Englewood before I moved from Chicago and found it surprising to hear how dangerous it was supposed to be.
@@jamesbarakaat233 I live in St louis. Chicago feels a lot safer.
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.

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.

Hello sweet friend joshua
Hello dear
Hello
I have lived in Chicago for 45 years. I was born in Poland. In 1977 the communists expelled me from Poland and I settled in Windy City. Why here? - Chicago is the second largest "Polish" city (after Warsaw). In the so-called Greater Chicago is home to nearly one and a half million people of Polish descent. Because my profession is a professional sailor, I also sailed here on Lake Michigan, from here I set off on my sailing yacht to Poland in 1991 (after the fall of communism) to Poland. From Chicago, I also started my sailing journeys throughout the Chicago River, Illinois and Mississippi Rivers to Caribbean. From Chicago I sailed the Great Lakes, the Erie Canal, and the Hudson River to New York and further in the world. To this day, I live in Chicago - it's my base. But from here they fly to my yacht mooring somewhere in the Atlantic, I sail somewhere and... back to Chicago.
Wow, that is impressive! You sound like you have a fascinating life. I'm genuinely impressed by people who can truly sail and wish I'd learned to do that when I was younger.
During the summer, Chicago is arguably the best city in the USA. Too many reasons to mention.
Summers are brutal. winters are nice though
@@PRHILL9696 all four seasons are wonderful

Hello how are you doing
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.
Thanks for pointing out the diverse economy of Chicago. That is one of the reasons I decided to move here.
How's it going so far?

I lived in Milwaukee and used to go to Chicago all the time and loved it!!!!!
Chicago is awesome. It has its fair share of normal urban problems yes, but it also has a very extensive list of very good things.
🎯🎯 Well said.
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.
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.
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.
Every family have that one person whom will break their financial burden, hope you are the person. Spend less, invest more💰💰
Noted! And what are the actions needed to be successful?
@@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

@David Lopez Thanks so much for the recommendation, I will look into it.
Silently been observing this conversation for a while now,I think i'mma have to give it a try,I mean why not?
As someone from the west coast who is young, you really opened up my eyes on Chicago. It definitely gets a bad wrap but the downtown looks amazing
I'd say you guys on the west coast have a worse mainstream image rep... but then again you've definitely earned it!
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.
Chicago is better than LA
@@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

Thank you:)
I recently just took a Amtrak train from saint Paul Minnesota to Chicago, and I'm staying in the loop area, and I'm in the wit hotel/Hilton hotel
PSA to unaware American viewers: When he says 0 degree weather average, he means Celsius! At first I was confused when he said that during the video cause our daily average temps during January are around 27-34F, which would be right around 0C, give it take a few degrees. So yes, 0C / 32F average temps in the dead of winter is correct. Probably not cold at all for our fellow Russians! But I must say, here in the US, you can go way colder or way warmer! Minnesota, North Dakota, and Alaska are multiple orders of magnitude colder and Florida, Texas, Puerto Rico, and Hawaii among others are multiple orders of magnitude warmer. I like to call Chicago the "goldilocks porridge" of weather in the US. Ya get a little bit of everything, but nothing too extreme, except for the summer thunderstorms.
Still, that is kinda chilly.
PSA to sane people: this guy is lying. It's a shithole. Don't go.
Lol, "nothing too extreme"?? Are you kidding? Chicago temps was a minus 45 degrees F. below zero during the polar vortex for a week a few years ago and you can always count on some extreme cold temps in the dead of winter. Like minus 10 degrees F. to 10 degrees for weeks and that doesn't even take into account how cold it feels like (i.e., wind chill factor).
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!

Hello ✋
Hi Natalya sniff ... I just read your wonderful comment,you sound great
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.
Thank you Rex
While it can be windy, it's not the reason why it was named the windy city.
@@NoBody-tk3yd Correct. It was nicknamed the Windy City because of its politics.
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

Chicago has been home for me for the last 31 years and yes other than the high tax and crime, I will not exchange it for any other city in the US. I happen to live in Hyde Park about a mile from from the Obama house and I have to say you captured the neighborhood well. The world class Museum of Science and Industry is in Hyde Park which I think you didn't mention. Chicago is known as the City of Neighborhoods. Even the high crime neighborhoods have so much fascinating history. Thank you for highlighting and presenting a balanced view of Chicago!
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.
I just visited and absolutely loved it! I'll def be going back in the summer. luckily I'm from Philly so it's only 1.5 hour flight!
My hometown! And you included the University of Chicago too, where I went to college.
The Great Chicago Fire is probably the best thing that ever happened to the city. It allowed urban planners to basically build an entirely new city from the ground up. It's not too dense or congested like NYC, nor is there the obnoxious urban sprawl of LA. Everything is accessible, it's hard to get lost, and public transportation is pretty decent by American standards.
I ❤ Chicago. Thanks Slava, another great video 🙂.

Chicago is better than New York City. I've been to both and Chicago is just better.
I love Chicago and will never leave it, but I love NYC as well and I'm envious of NYC's relatively low violent crime rates. NYC homicide and violent crime rates per 100,000 population are very low compared to all the other large cities. Only San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, and Minneapolis can compare.
@@Bob-te3le It's infinitely more affordable than NYC. A condo in Manhattan, Brooklyn, or even Queens that compares with my place in Chicago's West Ridge neighborhood would cost 4X as much. I'd have to go clear to Staten Island and who would want that?
