I'm from Chicago and I love my home city. Great food, music, culture and (mostly) people. However, the taxes are skyrocketing, the poor are being maligned and gangs are being ignored. Cops are either too afraid of entering the violent neighborhoods or flat out don't care and on the other side of that, Cops are out of control, shooting teenagers, addicts and the homeless.

I love my home city, but I left. I couldn't take it anymore.

Madison is super cool, though.

Not only what you said, but rent is skyrocketing in most desirable parts of the city as well. Love Chicago, but there was no reason besides friends for me to stay.
