    Everybody hates Illinois. People who live there even hate it. I was born there and promptly left.

        Well obviously not everyone as I love it but im ok with you guys not wanting to be there. I have a feeling if you don’t like chicago you would not like toronto.

          Most likely not, I hated the years I spent in Chicago and am much happier now that it’s behind me. Food is incredibly good though so getting fat is so easy there. Chicago Pizza is without question the best on earth.

            Everyone has their preferences. I can’t imagine living someplace without a good metro system. Actually I have to add integrated to that as that is where chicagos shines. DC’s metro was a massive let down. I hate driving but love modern stuff so I need to live somewhere I can get to all sorts of things by foot, bike, or transit (superconvenietly. Im complaining after 10 minutes of waiting for something). Oh and I hate smartphones and even being a passenger in a car so uber does not open up places for me.

              I would say Chicago is bad at that too lol, Asia and Europe are where the game for that is strong. SF and Seattle are making big progress but NYC still the leader.

                You sound like someone not from chicago. We have a grid system and transfers between bus and train are free. In addition a fare is currently at most two dollars fifty cents and a day pass good for all trains and busses for 24hours is five bucks. Sure there might be all sorts of better aspects to transit at many places but for getting from A to B affordably chicago can’t be beat.
