Reply to comment by MajesticBread9147 in What is the best close-ish city to visit for the first time? by MajesticBread9147

Chicago was called the Windy City because of the politicians but the actual wind there is no joke, especially in the winter.

Seconding one of the other comments though, Chicago isn't actually a cheap city, unless you're comparing it to SF.

It's cheap compared to the other 5 big, dense, American cities - LA, SF, DC, NYC, Boston.

A 2b/2b, say looking over the lake in Chicago on a high floor, is typically going to be a lot cheaper than one on the water in Seattle, or right in downtown Portland or Austin, or downtown Denver or Miami.
