I spent a week in Chicago last month and I loved it. I felt completely safe the entire time.

just got back from spending few days there yesterday. Chicago is a great city and was beautiful. Don't have a single bad thing to say. Also felt completely safe the whole time.

Did you catch a game at Comiskey or venture into the south side at all?

Also, as of 2014, New Orleans had a roughly 80% higher murder rate and a higher crime index than Chicago. Baton Rouge also had a higher murder rate and crime index score.
Those are measure according to population and typically should be viewed by cities of similar size. The reason is smaller cities can easily have lower crime yet a much higher rate of crime. An example would be walker Louisiana. 6000 people and a few years back they had a murder. If measured by the same standard walker would have had a murder rate that year of roughly 17. Compare that to a town who every year has 10 murders with population of 100,000. Which one is actually safer, the one town that had one murder in years of the one that has 10 every year?

Of course not. Why would I?

That's like going to Baghdad, hanging out in the Green Zone, then saying "I don't know what the media is talking about, Iraq is a pretty safe place. Never felt scared."

Most people don't go far from the magnificent mile or wrigley.

The area all the way from downtown to US Cellular is fine. You actually have to go much further south in the city to get to the really rough areas.

The guy said it was the "shittiest city in the nation". That's not true. It just has a bad area. It's a great city. That's like saying the US is shitty because it has bad cities or states. That doesn't make it a shitty country.

New Orleans, Chicago, and America are all awesome. Buncha haters.

lol at Chicago
for decades they hid their crime numbers, and didnt report them to fbi for federal cash, but the state is so broke, they need every cent they can get and the truth about their city continue to get exposed.
they, while not giving their numbers always pointed at st.louis, newark, new orleans, etc as dangerous cities, claiming Chicago was nothing like that. truth is, Chicago is worse than those 3 cities plus more, combined.
Chicago having to give their numbers is pure karma, for always blaming others as crime ridden.

That is why you don't look at snapshots of crime rate.
No one cares about Walker anyway

Link?
Not refuting but I'd like a link so I'm not accused of inaccuracy when I use this.
