Looking at buying a place in motor row/McCormick square. The place is right off S. Michigan Ave. Is safety a concern for living in that area?

I lived very close to that area when I moved to Chicago in 2015, right off Cullerton & Wabash. There used to be a nightclub on Wabash between Cermak and Cullerton that had multiple shootings in the first 6 months I lived there until it got shut down. Then all the re-developments in that area started to happen. Just recently was back in the area visiting a friend and it’s changed dramatically. Will your place be on S Michigan & Cermak or further south?

Has anyone else gone back to relying more on public transportation with the surging Uber / Lyft prices. Trips to and from ohare are costing me about as much as the plane tickets themselves, and even simple things like meeting a friend for dinner in another neighborhood ends up costing around $80 in transportation costs. I haven’t taken buses and trains much since I’ve graduated but now it just feels like I’m throwing money out the window by not making the switch back.
