Now with any big city, you are going to have issues. Big city, big population, big problems...This list does make a lot of sense, it might be a "reach" on some of these items though, but this is fun though.

So before we get to this video presentation let's talk about these ten reasons and see what you think. Here are: 10 'Well no Duh' Reasons to Never Ever Move to Chicago

 

  • Winter - Yes, Mother Nature can really hammer Chicago, below zero temps and wind chills and the snow...that Chicago snow. 
  • Nature - This is listed as "no easy access to nature." Of course there's no city access, but there are some really nice parks
  • Sports - "There's always next year." As a Chicago sports fan, this pain is real...But hey, look at what the Chicago Bears are doing now!
  • Political Corruption - This one, legit.
  • Taxes - Big city, big taxes? Chicago has the second highest property taxes in the nation.
  • Bad Schools - This one I question, because I don't think you can lump "all" Chicago schools. But the video does lay this one out nicely.
  • Traffic - Yes, yes, and yes. I've been out on the west coast, I driven on the 405 and that is pretty terrifying. But in and out of Chicago is a panic attack in waiting.
  • Parking - For $60-$100 you can park anywhere. C'mon!
  • Crime - Again, city size...This is a given.
  • Limited Jobs - Lots of jobs, but WAY MORE qualified people than jobs.
