Top 10 Reasons NOT to Move to Chicago, Illinois

The Top 10 reasons You Should NOT move to Chicago, Illinois and the worst things you NEED to know before moving to the Windy City!

What's it like living in Chicago? Well, for starters, it's cold and windy as it sits right on Lake Michigan. It's also, behind only New York and Los Angeles, the 3rd largest city in America, but despite this is still one of the most underrated cities to move to in the United States. But Illinois is also one of the most corrupt states to live in, and crime is a big issue. If this is the biggest city in the Midwest, with so many amenities and things to do, then why shouldn't you live in Chicago, Illinois?

1, 000 LIKES for Detroit? Despite it's flaws, Chicago is still probably my favorite big city in the country and a place everyone NEEDS to visit at some point in their lives.
*Which City do YOU want me to cover NEXT?!* (And I'm finalizing the Top 10 Best Small Cities list too, so that should be out SOON!)

I live in Chicago and “The cold never bothers me any way”

[amyfrankel]

I’ve lived in Chicago my entire life, and the lack of nature is the one reason why I want to move somewhere else :/ but ugh nowhere compares to the city of Chicago!

Can’t deny Chicago has some of the best food in the US, if not the best.

[arevireba]

“It’s not easy to live here if you don’t like sports.”
That’s a reason not to move to a city?

I am Brazilian, and I have always liked Chicago, it is a very beautiful and very well built city and for me it is one of the best and most amazing cities in the United States.

I’m from Chicago and I can confirm the whole thing about hella violence is overblown. Half the neighborhoods on the south side are actually decent

[ryankirk]

If you want to live in Chicago and are worried about the lack of nature don't worry the Indiana dunes are 30 min away

"The taxes are high"
*Laughs in German*

You're wrong about the nature park, because there's Lincoln Park, beachfront forests, and the Skokie Lagoons are 20-25 minutes from downtown.

I love Chicago. Despite it’s struggles and winter weather, it’s one place I’d actually love to live. There’s so much to see and do

[aaronojeda]

I went to Chicago back in 2014, I had a wonderful time. I will never forget that trip.

Not having any kids or a car (in Chicago) go a LONG way trust me...

[-.TS.-]

Lived in Chicago (city and suburbs) my whole life. Love the city and has its charm. Got out and it was the best decision I’ve ever made.

[megwebber]

Loved this video! I have always wanted to move to Chicago and while watching this I said to myself "I can live with that". Yay! Thanks for confirming my love for this city!

[adamjenniges]

Chicago, Chicago, that's my hometown

[darienford]

You don't need 10 reasons. There's only one taxes are high AF here. Try paying for parking in Downtown

[DoggoStudio]

I’m rolling my eyes. Don’t trust an anti-Chicago video from a guy who can’t even pronounce the name. This video is such a touristy perspective of Chicago. Obviously it’s cold. Obviously we love sports, but you don’t NEED to be into sports to have fun. Taxes are on par with other states. Have you seen Californian property taxes? Bad schools? Sure some bad apples here and there but our charter school’s that anyone can attend have the highest college acceptance rates. Traffic sucks, but that’s why we have the L and CTA! Best in the nation next to NYC. Parking sucks, but that’s every big city! Crime is so overblown and it’s only concentrated in places viewers would never even be in, and limited to members in GANGS.

Don't forget Chicago Summers can get very humid especially the suburbs. Very muggy 😝
