So for me (and maybe Wilson) moving to Chicago is looking more and more like reality. So now I was wondering if the chicago crew would be willing to help me out with places to live.

Like, where do you all live (I don't need street address, just approximations), what is the general rent in your area, how safe are the streets, etc.


And if anyone would be willing to consider roommates, or know someone looking for roommates, I'd be willing to definitely consider it. I'm pretty clean, not noisy, and will probably be in school/at work for a lot of the time, so you'll probably have the place to yourself for most hours. Also, I don't steal food, and am really fucking chill about just about everytrhing. Seriously, I really don't care.

'Burbs representing! I live in Cicero, which, while technically a suburb, is merely an extension of South Lawndale.

There's a lot of bungalows around here, and most apartments are those three bedroom kind (judging by the architecture of the majority of the buildings), and it's easily to find a 3bdrm apt for around $800. The streets are pretty safe, or at least I've found them to be. I've lived here for 12 years and I've wandered all over town shit-faced at 3 in the morning, and I hardly ever saw anyone even out. There's a lot of cops out looking for ~*gang activity*~, though.

It's mostly hispanic, so if you like tacos Cicero is your town! Also, it's 15 mins from dwntwn via car, 30 via EL. ALSO! NO BUMS! Dominick has them secretly killed like Giuliani. Or dropped off in Oak Park, same diff...

So that's on the southside? I think wilson's aunt and uncle live out by there, so that's a plus.

Hmmmm, the rent thing means that one bedrooms are pretty cheap, but not super common then? Cause it'll probably be just us.

I'm sure you could find them, but yes, one bedrooms just aren't very common around here.

I was looking into apartments in Bridgeport (think the Wriglyville of the Southside) and you can get a totally sweet two bdrm for around ~$700 easily.
