Preferring a total wasteland like Gary because there's a 2 hour train commute to the Loop in a day is absurd. I mean go ahead and knock yourself out though.

It's only 40 minutes / 30 miles to the Loop by interstate, a little bit closer than I thought. You'd be living a totally car-oriented life in either city so having more things within driving distance would become the overriding factor. And some people just can't do small towns. Any shitty exurb wasteland > small town.
