Chicago or Boston?

[tullamore]

And marathon Monday is a fantastic day.

@Tron if looking at NH. Look at MA. MA used to have a law and may still have one that government pension were not taxable. Not sure if this was just MA government pensions or all government pensions

@Cougar Bait I grew up in NJ/NYC. Just a big Boston sports fan.

That said, I spent a summer in Derry, NH as a kid and loved it. New Hampshire I was considering moving to.

Boston is a great city. Shitty to drive in.

I spent that two months in Worster with that whole dentist and snowed in story. That wasn’t fun.

Chicago I’ve never been to but I hate their mayors and I hate deep dish pizza.

Chicago area?

nothing redeemable about it. except maybe proximity to West Michigan Beach towns

Shhhhhh

The two cities are very similar outside of the crime. I would think Boston would be much more expensive, not that Chicago is cheap.

Chicago is tier 1. Boston is tier 2. That said you've been loving Nashville which is a (growing) tier 3.

I'll be in Bean Town over MLK weekend. No more Tampa for me for a while. My partner set up shop in Lexington so they won't winter in Tampa anymore.

Anyone who talks about Chicago homicides as an issue for you has obviously never been there and doesn't know how to analyze statistics.

 

[Cougar Bait]

Yeah, I've never been to Chicago. What a fucking dummy. I'm in Chicago 30 times a year. By the way, during "pride" in Wrigleyville last year while I was there it looked like a slum. Block after block of retards just doing whatever they wanted. Jumping on cars, pissing in the street, cops did zero. They were doing burnouts on street corner intersections. Cops were told to stand down (which is common here). The mayor is a moron. And it doesn't matter who the mayor is, they always elect a moron. Definitely don't move here if you run a business Blitty. Chicago doesn't give a shit about small businesses.

 

[Blitty]

Still gonna be a tough decision.

I prefer the Blackhawks unis over the B’s ones.

 

[Matty]

Good point. And you could witness Connor Bedard's explosion from up close.

Totally a valid thing to consider.

 

[Cougar Bait]

It is humorous that all the people who have lived here or do live here are telling you don't move to Chicago, and most everyone else says move here lol.

 

[Cougar Bait]

Also, Casper, deep dish is for tourists. People who live here eat that once a year maybe once every 2 years. Chicago style thin crust or tavern style, this is what people order on the regular.

Or like me, you can't find very good pizza in the suburbs (Rockford has better pizza) and so you find a great New York Style pizza.

 

[Boner_18]

I looked at the stats. Confirmed that Chicago homicides don't matter for you @Blitty. The Twitter crowd here will twist and distort but trust me, it's a non issue. Some folks just don't know maths so good.

Sinaloa cartel HQ is in Chicago

It is pretty shocking that Cougar Bait despises a big major city like Chicago.

I’m sure he loves New York City and Los Angeles.

 

[Cougar Bait]

Blitty, remember the people who LIVE or HAVE LIVED in and near Chicago have no idea what they are talking about. Archie, Fair Warning and myself. Those living in other states nowhere near here know a lot more. Because Internet and stats ROFL.

This is like me saying I know more about New York or Florida than those that live there. OBVIOUSLY I don't. This isn't complicated.

Never been there, so don't claim to know.

 

[Blitty]

Can someone say something good about Columbus??

There’s a semi-decent chance I end up there.


Is it an up and coming future city or something?

 

[Cougar Bait]

I've never been there but let me tell you why I know all about Columbus.

 

[Tron]

Blitty, are you excited

they historically have winning MLS seasons so that’s a hugh bonus right out of the gate for you

The ones with 2nd homes across the lake rave about the city so they can find someone to buy their place in Ukrainian Village.
