Which city is better to live in, New York or Chicago? |
Travel Info in terms of; Pollution Traffic Ease of getting around night life crime poverty Cost of living Beauty shopping economy Travel Tips Here's how it breaks down as far as which city is better: Pollution - Both of them are about the same. Traffic - NYC is better. A larger percentage of people take the subways everywhere here. You'll rarely have to deal with rush hour since you'll be underground during your entire commute. Ease of getting around - NYC. Again, you can take the subway anywhere you want. Chicago has the el trains, but they're not as extensive as NYC. night life - Both cities have great nightlife, but again, NYC wins in this category. It has some of the best nightlife in the world. crime - NYC is the safest city in America. In the 1990s it really cleaned up its act and is relatively safe now. poverty - You'll deal with this in any city you'll live in. Cost of living - Chicago. NYC is expensive! Chicago is much cheaper as far as housing goes. Beauty - Both cities are beutiful, but NYC has more parkspace per capita than any other city. shopping - Both are great cities for shopping. Chicago has Michigan Ave and NYC has 5th Ave... although there are many other areas of the cities that are less touristy. economy - Both are doing quite well. I would go with NYC in this category because it is the financial capitol of America (and possibly the world). Overall, based on your categories, I'd say NYC is better. I have lived in both cities and prefer Chicago over NYC (probably because Chicago is where I grew up and it will always be home to me). Source(s): I grew up in suburban Chicago and have lived in NYC for the past 3 years. Other Travel Tips Neither..... You should consider Boulder/Denver/Colorado Springs... Out of all those definitely New York, there's plenty of shopping and beauty because it's a stylish city and the crime is a lot lower than Chicago. And no better place for nightlife than N.Y.! People don't say I love N.Y. for nothing! |
