coming from norfolk, VA, i think your biggest concern about moving to chicago should probably be winter. chicago winters are no joke, and many people simply can't hack 'em (hence why every other person you meet in phoenix is "from chicago").
more than violent crime in ghettos that you will never visit, or the specter of future property tax increases, our long cold winters will almost certainly have a bigger impact on your day to day life if you do indeed end up moving here.

Good advice everyone lol
Yeah, no kidding its taken almost 10 years to convince the gf that she can survive the winters. Don't laugh at this, but we had like a solid 5 days of temps around 8 here with windchills way below that a few years ago. We both found that if we *dressed accordingly* we could survive. I worry about winters for her more than me.
But yes, I am scared lol but I am tired of the summers here, in Arkansas, and in Texas. So we'll see.
