My parents believe that Chicago is basically Cadia when the planet broke based on their descriptions.

Yeah mine act like I get shot every time I walk out my front door
It’s how my wife’s Grandmother though if SF. Finally just told her we get killed multiple times a day and not sure how to handle it
Chicago was the 20th most violent city in the US in 2018. It's not even the most violent in Illinois.

We loved visiting Chicago! Had a wonderful time!
Also Portland but the werewolf is homeless
2022 Chicago population 2.6 million, homicides 630. Compared to my city, population 1.6 million, homicides 26. Yeah Chicago sounds awesome
Yeah, i bet you don't have guns though. I'll take my guns over my safety any day!
Only people who buy this have never been to Chicago. I have, and it's more of the monster than the dog for sure. I'd prefer to never go back.
I live in Chicago lmao. I take the red line regularly. I go allllllllllllllll around the city and have never once had a problem here. The only reason why you hear about crime or shootings as much as you do in the news is 1) because it's already been sensationalized, and that sets the pattern, and 2) the entire Chicagoland area (including the suburbs, which get news stories blown up too) has a population of about 11.5 million people. Statistically for even a murder rate as low as Chicago's is (and it's not even in the top 20 most violent cities in the country), shit's just going to happen.
Visited this summer and had a wonderful time. The city is awesome in the summer and people are very friendly.
Wario hates Chicago more than Indianapolis
Went there once and it's just like a better New York from my pov, but granted I was only there for a few days
