Oh wow, that's about 42 sq mi. Just a bit smaller than San Francisco, but identical population sizes.

Yep - and there's an area on the north/northwest side counting downtown that's nearly identical in area to SF as well with 200K+ more population. Possibly even more distance now....

It's good to see the south lakefront get denser.

Crazy to think that now the borough of Brooklyn is the same size of Chicago...lol...I Miss the days Chicago was 3 million...Feel like this city is built for more people... I always wonder if the government never enforced the limits of immigration between 1930 and 1940 how many more people would of been added to the city ...Chicago was growing like crazy during that time and easily would of surpassed 4 million people. One could only wonder..


Brooklyn- 2.736
Chicago- 2.746
