I didn't mean Chicago was a midsize city. Although honestly each neighborhood feels so different. Lakeview feels like a different city compared to Wicker Park

It's probably the only affordable city in America with real public transit.
I can imagine a billionaire techie creating a planned city with public transit, but it doesn't sound like a good place to live. It would be super expensive, and miss the character that real cities have
- giantg2 5y agoPretty much every large city is expensive, unless in a bad neighborhood. I would think that there would be plenty of tax money to fund it based on the type of people to go there, and the fact that land would be cheap in the beginning would make it attractive to build and hopefully attract somewhat offset the construction cost (vs pricing in existing large cities). " but it doesn't sound like a good place to live." I don't mean they would be some ultimate ruler. You would need others to go too. But you need someone with a big name for people to believe in it. That said, I don't think current cities are good places to live, but that's just me. I would imagine a new city would be able to beat the metrics that many are measured by (affordability, crime, schools, etc).
