Whether right or wrong about sending the national guard into Chicago - Pritzker and other Chicago leaders are wrong saying the city is fine. All they need to do is take one blue line or one red line train to realize that

Whether Pritzker's comments about the current state of crime in Chicago is right or wrong, he's 100% right about his comments on sending the national guard into Chicago (said as somebody who rarely agrees with him on anything of substance).

Separately, I ride the blue line several times a month and it seems like it always has during my 18 years in Chicago but I get that CTA crimes are on the rise so maybe I've just been lucky.

The city is fine. The statistics posted by Chicago PD show that crime is down 19% year-over-year (including murder being down 32%). Sorry you get scared every time you need to board the L with someone who doesn't match the demographics of your class at New Trier.

You notice all of those who say the city is safe/ok/fine all have private security and don’t take the CTA

Take the CTA, bike, busses, and live in an "unsafe" area.

But hey, I lived in major cities around the world so y'all are just pansies from the suburbs

I got a decent deal on a small 1 bed in a luxury building (hell’s kitc). Should I do a 12 month lease or 24m?

Got the rent negotiated to under 3k + free amenities for a year (gym, pool, etc.). I’m afraid rent will atleast go back to the original price (+5%) and then some. The building has some sort of rent control but that’s predicted to go away in less than 1 year as per the lease. The legal rent limit is way higher.

Would love some perspective on renewal experience after 1 year. TIA.
