Nah.
The job opportunities for people newly graduating are piss poor in Chicago compared to elsewhere. A lot of old opinions on work prevail, compared to new flexibility in working that we're seeing.
Also, having lived in the suburbs for a while, I was shocked how much casual racism is present there.
Chicago is in many ways trapped in the past. It's corrupt and dirty. When I see billboards for strip clubs above sprawling concrete freeways, I know I'm in Chicago.
- core-questions 8y ago> I was shocked how much casual racism is present there. Why does this shock you in a city with such a ridiculously high crime rate for specific demographics? People are making conclusions - some of them less than ideal - based on observation. The only way that's going to stop is if the murder rate stops being similar to a sub-saharan african country.
- spamizbad 8y agoI think you're conflating the Chicago suburbs with the city of Chicago, because nothing you're saying is true. The city isn't exactly a strip bar destination due to laws that forbid serving alcohol at establishments that permit nudity. The suburbs around it are different story. It's quite well planned having burned down earlier. And generally imports recent college grads.
