I’ve been to Chicago once (visiting a family member), it’s absolutely crazy. I could never even imagine living like that. Never before in my life have I been genuinely scared that if I left the house at night, I wouldn’t come back alive.
I’ve also been to Chicago once (going to an Anime con up there; was a meet up for AMV creators worldwide, and while I wasn’t one my brother was), but it was a chill and nice experience for me. The last time I heard gunshots was actually this past new years, when my neighbor fired off like 12-15 shots during fireworks (GA, not in Atlanta but not too far either).
It’s pretty normal during the day, but at night, once you hear gunshots a few blocks away, I would really avoid going out. I’ve never seen something like this before.
Statistically no, it’s not very dangerous as far as big cities go. Its homicide rate is ranked 30-something in the USA. Pretty much every city has “bad areas”, though.
