Some amazing pics of Chicago. This is what REAL luxury condos and quality urban planning looks like. Contrast this to the ugly brown buildings of NYC, and there is no doubt that Chicago is superior.

ouch, I always thought Chicago sucked somewhat, but I didn't realize it was THAT bad... in a decade where every other city was getting better.

Then again, if Chicago has to send its citizens to boards on other cities to promote itself, you KNOW it has to be bad....

I also didn't realize Chicago was in such dire straits.

Man, is crime going to go through the roof! They are already almost 3 times the national average. Chicago is going to be a war zone in no time with all of their job losses.

Perhaps they could offer the homeless, unemployed and criminals money to kill the giant cat-sized rats that are roaming the streets in Streeterville, Gold Coast, Lincoln Park and the other neighborhoods that used to be nice?

it'll be fine in chicago. mayor daley and the democratic political machine they have there will just raise sales taxes to 20% and use proceeds to build more and more projects to live on his father's legacy!

Move to London .... we are going through the same shit but at least you can have a pint and watch game of cricket and have a jolly good chill out. :)

alanhart that was hysterical :) Really sad

NY has many problems and no New Yorker would deny that. But Rufus we're known for being at our best in emergencies. We prove that to the world seven years ago and that is defense enough for our love of our city
