I grew up in Chicago and I hate the cold so I always dreamed about living in LA or Miami. As of now, I have lived in LA for 6 years, Miami for 3 years and New York for 2 years. After living for years in all four Chi, LA, NYC, and MIA, I have to honestly say Chicago is by far the cleanest, best organized, and best overall city in all of America. I never knew how lucky I was to grow up there. Miami always felt like a tiny resort town to me and I hated the unbearably humid summers and yearly hurricanes. Summer is my favorite season and it sucked in Miami. LA is more of a giant suburb than it is a city and the perfect weather actually gets boring and the lack of rain makes everything feel and look stale and dusty. When there were fires it would rain down ash from the orange skies and it seemed apocalyptic to me. Thank god I have a car cause I can't imagine living in LA without one as the public transport here is a joke. New York and Chicago are the only real cities in America as the late Anthony Bourdain said. New York was like Chicago on steroids in an annoying way to me. Way too much hype for what it is and it's filthy and way too crowded compared to Chicago. Who wants to wait in a 1 hour line for a bagel? The beaches in NYC can't compare to the crystal clear Lake beaches in Chicago in summer. Chicago is the most fun and active city in the summer in all of America with the best summer time beaches and the lake shore urban beaches and parks beat Central Park. I would put it this way, New York is the most overrated city in America, while Chicago is the most underrated.
Wow, what an incredible journey you've had, living in some of America's most iconic cities! Your perspective is especially valuable given your experiences in Chicago, LA, Miami, and New York. It's fascinating to hear how, after all these years and experiences, Chicago stands out to you for its cleanliness, organization, and overall quality of life. Your observations about each city really highlight the diverse characteristics that make them unique. I completely agree that Chicago's summer vibes are unmatched, and it's great to hear you appreciate the city's lakefront and urban parks. Thank you for sharing such a well-rounded and insightful comparison. It's comments like yours that truly shed light on what makes Chicago a special, albeit underrated, city. Your perspective is a testament to the city's appeal!
New York City so nice they named it twice ❤ there is nothing like it 🙌🏼
Absolutely, New York City has a unique magic and energy that's hard to match! ❤ It's a place like no other, for sure. 🙌🏼 Both NYC and Chicago have their own unique attractions and vibes, making them incredible cities in their own rights. If you ever get curious about what Chicago offers, our video has some insights that might surprise you! Thanks for sharing your love for NYC with us.
I know many people who have moved from NYC to Chicago and almost all of them prefer Chicago.They consistently say it has everything and it is so much easier to live in Chicago. I like them both, but NYC is unbelievably expensive and much more congested and dirty.
I've never been to New York, let alone resided there. I can't imagine living in New York and wouldn't want to live in any of Chicagoland's more crime-infested areas, but in my humble opinion, Chicago is "my kinda town."
Thanks for your comment! We're glad to hear that you love Chicago and would choose to live here over New York City. While it's important to be aware of crime in the city, Chicago has a lot to offer and there are plenty of safe areas to live in. We hope you take some time to explore all that the city has to offer!
I had a friend, born in Florida. She moved to California. Left California for NYC, left NYC for Minnesota. She left Minnesota and moved to Chicago.
She was into theatre, acting as well as going to see live theatre.
She said she loved Chicago way more than NYC. She said, it just felt better, just offered more. She said she was there to stay.
Unfortunately she did end up leaving. She left to care for her father back in Florida.
@@calme-dx2dp Very interesting! I am very familiar with Chicago, warts and all. I grew up there and also lived there a couple of years about a decade ago. I am still part Chicagoan deep inside. It never leaves you. I love the best it has to offer and hate the worst it has to offer. Surprisingly, though, I really do believe that the greatest city on the continent isn't in the US but, rather, Canada. I was blown away by Montreal when I was there decades ago... and TH-cam videos show it has only gotten better. To see what I mean, check out a video called "The Montreal Metro is a Masterpiece" and some of the other touristy videos.
Sigh. But there is more to life than beatiful, sophisticated, crime-free locations. Home is where loved ones and memories are.
Every city has some level of crime in the USA, however; the crimes are mainly from the Millennial, Generation Z and Generation A. The crime is mainly gang related. Overall, Spike Lee started this BEEF with making the movie Chi-Raq. Like NYC, but the Quality, Cleanliness and BEAUTY OF CHICAGO ILLINOIS with its NATURAL BEACHES THROUGHOUT THE CITIES AND SHORELINE SUBURBS, "WIN."
@@rdsims8809 I agree about the overall quality and cleanliness of Chicago winning, but when it comes to the crime - particularly in certain Chicago neighborhoods, the crime is so bad that it blows Chicago's overall crime statistics out of the water and into the stratosphere. It is more than just a matter of opinion or perspective, it's a fact (unfortunately) that stains the reputation of Chicago as a whole. And even though you talk about certain generations' involvement, it might be more appropriate to identify the sub-demographic groups of that generation. I know it might be painful to do, but in order to fix the problem, Chicago has to target where it originates (and identify why). It ain't the Libertyville Gen-Zers jumping up and down on cars in the Loop, after all.
I am from Chicagoland (and I still miss the pizza and hot dogs) but have lived most of my life in Phoenix, the fifth largest city in the country, which has its own problems with crime. For what it is worth from a guy with no dog (or hot dog) in the fight, I think Chicago is far superior to Phoenix in almost every way. At least your beaches have water.
Chicago definitely isn't slow paced, just not as fast paced as NYC maybe, but right on par or a faster pace than most cities in the U.S.
You're absolutely right! Chicago has a unique pace that's a bit more relaxed compared to NYC, but it's by no means a slow-paced city. It offers a vibrant and dynamic lifestyle with a bustling business scene, diverse culture, and plenty of activities to keep up with. Both cities have their own charm, and it ultimately comes down to personal preferences. Thanks for sharing your insights! 😊🌆🏙️
I’ve lived in NY State (let alone the City) all my life but I’d love to try Chicago one day!
That's fantastic to hear! Chicago has so much to offer, from its iconic architecture and vibrant cultural scene to its world-class dining and beautiful lakefront. I'm sure you'll find the city has its own unique charm that makes it a great place to live or visit. If you decide to give Chicago a try, feel free to reach out for tips or recommendations. We'd love to make your potential transition or visit as exciting as possible. Who knows? You might just fall in love with the Windy City as much as we have!
In my opinion, Chicago streets are much cleaner and nicer looking than of NYC. The only downside is the public transportation. It's outdated, old and dirty.
Thanks for sharing your opinion! It's great to hear different perspectives on these cities. I agree that Chicago does have cleaner streets and a more visually appealing cityscape in some areas. However, I think NYC has a unique charm and energy that can't be matched. As for public transportation, both cities definitely have their challenges. But NYC's subway system, while old, is actually one of the largest and most extensive in the world, and many New Yorkers rely on it every day. Thanks again for your comment
Chicago is just as nice. Just watch out for yourself… like every other place. I’m buying in Oak Park or Evanston. Any thoughts on new construction or newer homes and condos? Also, the more liberal and educated parts of town would be nice. Thanks!
Thanks for your comment! You're absolutely right - Chicago is a great city, and it's important to be aware of your surroundings like any other place. When it comes to buying a home in the city, it all depends on your wants, needs, and budget. New construction and newer homes and condos can be found in Oak Park and Evanston, as well as in other parts of the city. If you're interested in learning more about your options, feel free to reach out to us directly. We would love to discuss your goals and help you find the perfect home!
6:51 Chicago is a large and diverse city. It’s nothing slow paced here.
Absolutely agree, and thanks for pointing that out! 🌃 Chicago is indeed vibrant and diverse with its own dynamic pace. My intention was to compare it to the often intense hustle of NYC, not to imply Chicago is slow-paced. Appreciate your input, and it's great to have such engaged viewers who love our city as much as we do!
Yes it is compared to New York
@@dubreil07 Whatever. New York is not all that.
No need to fight over New york city or Chicago. They both are Amarican cities 😂. I love new york city. I really like Brooklyn and Manhattan is just beautiful! Chicago in on my list to visit.
Absolutely! There's no need to fight when both New York City and Chicago offer unique experiences and have their own charm. It's wonderful that you love New York City, especially Brooklyn and Manhattan. Chicago has its own incredible attractions, and I'm sure you'll enjoy exploring it when you visit. Each city has its own distinct personality, and experiencing both can be a fantastic adventure! 😊🏙️🗽
Ech city has advantages and disadvantages. My take: Food-NYC better, beauty-Chicago better, cost of living-Chicago and much more affordable for decent housing, transportation-public is better in NYC but chicago travel times are much less, culture-both are good but NYC is better, crime-it appears NYC is better but chicago seems to get worse publicity than it deserves. vibrancy NYC is much more active but that can be a disadvantage. Over all ease of living or more livable- Chicago without a doubt. I would say overall I would choose chicago. its much easier to live there and has enough of all the amenities that big city lovers require.
Thanks for sharing your comprehensive take on both cities! It's great to see such a thoughtful comparison of New York and Chicago. As a realtor in the Chicagoland area, I'm naturally inclined towards Chicago and glad to hear your overall preference leans this way too. You've highlighted some key aspects where Chicago really shines - affordability, ease of living, and its own unique blend of culture and beauty. While NYC certainly has its charms, Chicago offers a great balance for those who love big city life but also appreciate a more manageable living environment. Thanks again for your insightful comment - it's always interesting to see how people weigh these two great cities against each other!
Nyc no doubt
Thanks for your comment! While NYC definitely has a lot to offer, there are many things that make Chicago unique and special. What do you think makes NYC stand out for you?
@@ralphieandryan nyc is so energetic and so fast pace the hustle and bustle is unmatched nyc is my second home been 3 times
I have lived 25 years in NYC ,and 25 years in Chitown. Good analagy and neutrality on this Video! Its just a matter of choice , ya godda spend time in Both cities to see what the host is talkin bout. Do you like apples ? Do you like oranges?
Thank you for sharing your perspective! It's wonderful that you've had the opportunity to experience both New York and Chicago extensively. You're absolutely right; choosing between cities often comes down to personal preferences and what aligns with your lifestyle and interests. I'm glad you found the video's analogy and neutrality helpful. If you have any more insights or stories about your experiences in these two fantastic cities, feel free to share. It's always valuable to hear from those who have lived in both places!
I love Chicago but I am not sure if I will feel safe enough as a young woman going there instead of NY. I don’t think that I would ever recover if I ended up being a victim of robber with sexual assault
Hey thanks for sharing your concerns with Chicago, I totally get your worry about safety, especially as a young woman. Don't let that overshadow the amazing experiences both New York and Chicago have to offer! It's important to be cautious and aware of your surroundings wherever you go. Do your research, talk to locals, and trust your gut. 😀
Larger Companies have moved out of both Chicago and New York City
Chicago is the better city I disagree on what you are saying but Chicago and new York but Chicago is better in more ways than one.
Thank you for sharing your opinion! It's always interesting to hear different perspectives on the comparison between New York and Chicago. Both cities have their unique qualities and attractions that appeal to different people.
While our video may have presented certain points about the cities, it's important to remember that everyone's preferences and experiences can vary. It's perfectly valid to have a strong preference for Chicago and believe it's better in multiple aspects.
If you'd like to share specific reasons why you think Chicago is better or if there are certain aspects of the city you'd like to highlight, feel free to share them. It's through open discussions and respectful exchanges of opinions that we can gain a better understanding of different viewpoints.
Ultimately, both New York and Chicago have their own distinct identities and offer a wide range of opportunities and experiences. It's up to individuals to decide which city aligns best with their personal preferences and lifestyle. Thank you for your comment, and I appreciate your contribution to the conversation!
Both cities are greats, but IMO Chicago is too dangerous.
Thank you for sharing your perspective! It's important to acknowledge that safety concerns can influence one's perception of a city. While every city has its own unique challenges, it's worth noting that both New York and Chicago are vibrant and diverse cities with their own distinct characteristics.
Regarding safety, it's essential to consider that crime rates can vary across different neighborhoods within a city. In the case of Chicago, certain areas may have higher crime rates, but there are also many safe and thriving neighborhoods throughout the city. It's always advisable to research specific neighborhoods, consult local resources, and consider factors like crime statistics, community initiatives, and safety measures when making comparisons.
Ultimately, personal experiences and perspectives can differ, so it's crucial for individuals to gather information from various sources and assess their own comfort level when considering a city to live in or visit. Both New York and Chicago offer unique cultural experiences, attractions, and opportunities that attract people from around the world.
If you have any specific questions or concerns about safety or any other aspects of New York or Chicago, feel free to ask, and I'll do my best to provide you with relevant information.
Only in some areas, the north side of chicago is one of the safest in the country
I don't think you've been to Chicago. It's only certain areas. The whole city isn't dangerous. I lived in NYC total 6 years and in originally from Chicago (not suburbs) The city is clean and beautiful! We get plenty of tourist from World wide everyday! People are still moving to Chicago and young people are coming for College as well. There's way more to do in Chicago than NYC and you can afford it. Stay away from certain areas that's it!
@@shalontehernandez6752thanks baby! I could not agree more. People hate on Chicago, because they don’t wanna give our city props. It’s better than NYC and LA.
Chicago wins
I'm glad to hear you're Team Chicago. It's a fantastic city with so much to offer! 🌆👍
This honestly isn't a real competition Chicago wins this.
it's great to hear you're Team Chicago. It's a fantastic city with so much to offer! 🌆👍
I can tell this person never lived in NYC he didn't even mention the floods
Thanks for pointing that out! You're right, I didn't cover the aspect of floods in NYC, which is an important consideration for residents. There are so many factors to consider when comparing these great cities, and it's challenging to cover everything in one video. I appreciate your insight and will keep it in mind for future discussions. If you have more insights or experiences from living in NYC that you think are important to share, I'd love to hear them. Your feedback helps make our content more comprehensive and informative. Thanks again for your comment!
1:00 Living expenses are 85% higher in NYC than Chicago. That’s just absolutely asinine to me. New York is not a better city than Chicago. To be that expensive for what? What’s so great about it? What does it have that Chicago doesn’t? If half the population of New York move to Chicago, they would see they could live much better here. And we have way better suburbs. You east coast people hype NYC up too much 🤦🏾♂️.
Thanks for your passionate input! 🌆 As Chicagoans ourselves, we definitely appreciate the value and lifestyle our city offers, especially considering the cost of living compared to NYC. It's true that every city has its unique charm and challenges, and affordability is a big factor for many. We love Chicago's blend of urban appeal and accessible suburbs. It's always interesting to hear different viewpoints on these great cities!
For safety and more job opportunities
Why do they always have to compare Chicago with New York, you can compare Chicago with any other state like LA, Miami, Texas ,etc why always with New York, I hate when they compare Chicago with New York especially when they talk about the crime in Chicago, saying that it has the worst crime than in any other state, I think L.A. and New York have bad crimes too with alot of gangstersters in those cities, theres crime everywhere in the world not just Chicago, okay stop putting Chicago as a bad city 😠😭
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I completely understand your perspective. Comparing cities like Chicago and New York is often due to their prominence and unique characteristics. I want to clarify that I don't aim to portray Chicago negatively. Every city faces its challenges, and it's important to present accurate information.
As a realtor, my priority is to provide honest insights, both positive and negative, about Chicago. I'm committed to showcasing the city's strengths while addressing areas that need improvement. I do intend to explore other states as well, and I started with New York due to its high demand.
Your feedback is valuable, and my goal is to offer valuable information to my audience. Thank you and I hope you understand my approach!
For some reason, Americans are fascinated with comparing their own large cities, stirring up drama and creating needless tribalism. Both Chicago and NYC are great cities with different vibes and culture. One is not better than the other. They're just different and people move to different cities for different reasons.
Imo, chicago compares best to Philadelphia as both are really close in affordability and how they operate.
That's an interesting perspective! Comparing Chicago to Philadelphia in terms of affordability and operation makes sense. Both cities have their unique charm and characteristics. If you have any more insights or questions about these cities or any other topic, feel free to share. It's always great to hear different viewpoints!@@aimxdy8680
Chicago doesn't even make the Top 5 or 10 on the FBI page. The crime is in certain areas. I'm originally from Chicago and have lived in NYC there is no comparison at all and I don't see how anyone thinks the two have any similarities?? It's a huge reach! It's like beating a dead horse with the Chicago vs NYC. Compare other cities please and stop following the news what they only want to show!
"Slow paced life" lol
It is!
