Have to agree. Chicago is ideal as a downtown and metropolis. I’m not from there, but visit a few times a year. Never disappointed.

And they were crafty enough to put the worst parts just over the line in Indiana so they aren't tainted by the blight.

NYC also played this hand well with Connecticut and New Jersey.

Nah no need to cross the state line. Just go 3-4 miles (literal 10 minute drives) west or south of the areas in this video if you want to see some truly sad blight and decay

Yeah. It's heartbreaking as a resident to see there are significant portions of the city that are neglected. Luckily they are getting better
