I was last in Chicago back in 2013, so my experience may be a bit stale.
I was walking all over the Loop at 2AM and felt completely safe. It was refreshing. I'd never feel safe doing that in my home city (Richmond, VA).
Granted, the Loop is the CBD, so it's probably inherently safer than other parts of Chicagoland, but it's still rather amazing to me to feel so comfortable in the country's third largest city.
- AlbertCory 3y agoHow visitors "feel" when walking around has about zero correlation with how safe they actually are. I would bet we could find visitors to Richmond, VA who "felt safe" walking around areas you wouldn't be caught dead in after dark.
- HDThoreaun 3y agoMost people care far more about feeling safe than being safe.
