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.

One of the things to keep in mind about this area is that you do not, under any circumstances, want to live west of Western. A lot of apartment lessors have fabulous deals in "West Wicker Park" or "West Bucktown" or whatever. There is a reason those nice big apartments are so cheap. Across Western is Humbolt Square, which is not terrible, but not very good, either. There is a lot more gang activity over there, although, like most gang activity, they mostly concern themselves with other gangs. That's not a guarantee, though, so if a leasing agent or someone tries to rent you an apartment, even a block or two over, keep in mind that in this city, a block or two counts for everything.
