So, according to this thing, Chicago is the 10th most miserable city in the US to live in. The only reasons they cite though, are long commute times and high sales tax, pretty minor complaints when contrasted against places like Flint, Michigan where the city is buying up homes just to raze them in an attempt to make the city more sustainable, or No. 1 Cleveland, where the river catches on fire more frequently than one would expect a river to.
I don't mind at all living here. My commute is about 35 minutes whether I ride or take the train, and the sales tax isn't really a big deal when you consider that tax on groceries is only 2.25%, and most other stuff we just get on the internet anyway. The only complaint I have is the weather, really. And it was like, 40 degrees today! Amazing! The Comfort Index actually jumped into the "Moderate" range for a few hours.
Life is good.
