^^ jtown, kenmore is our resident forum malcontent. just ignore him, everyone else does.
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.
