Wow, I'd never live anywhere else. Chicago is a world class city. Work has offered to promote me sooner if I leave, but I can't do it. Love it here too much!

I could live there as long as it is in the burbs. I wouldn't want to live in the city at all.

I could live there for a year or two. My answer might change after living through a real winter, though.

I'm the other way, unless I also worked in the suburbs.... granted, at least with a long train ride, you could catch up on news or whatever, that's still probably 2 hours each day. If I could afford to live downtown, I'd live there.

I lived there for 10 years, in the parts they don't talk about in the tourism brochures. Chicago sucks. Living in the suburbs is infinitely better.

Just got back from there. Really the only issue I have with the place is traffic - made worse this week by Paramount Studios, who's filming Transformers 3 at the moment.

I'd love to be able to afford to live in Chicago. I suppose I could live there now, but I don't have a family and am unafraid to live in "seedy" neighborhoods.

I've enjoyed living Chicago. It is ridiculously pricey at times but it seems like a pretty sweet place to be in your 20's. (And the Wisconsin winters prepared me for the Lake Michigan cold)

I don't care much for any city with a hand gun ban.
