Back in Chicago

I just came back from San Francisco and I liked it! The weather was great, the walks around it streets were spectacular, the homeless have become more creative, the ocean was overwhelming, and the food was good. Despite all that, I do not think that I can live there. I felt that it is not a city to settle in but a city to pass through. It can be a chapter, not a finale. The reason why I have to come to this resolution is that I am contemplating a move to the west and I have to figure if this new migration is good. So, let me compare Chicago with San Fran.
  • Size: Chicago Bigger than San Fran.
  • Architecture: Chicago is more famous than San Fran.
  • Restaurants: Chicago has more diversity and more quantity than San Fran.
  • Topography: None in Chicago many in San Fran.
  • Immigrant Communities: Larger and more diverse in Chicago.
  • Weather: San Fran better than Chicago hand down.
  • Spirits: Chicago does not have Napa or Sonoma.
  • Housing: Much more expensive in San Fran.
  • Cost of Living: More in San Fran.
  • Travel to The middle East: longer from San Fran.
  • Homeless: More than San Fran.
  • Streets: Cleaner in Chicago.
  • Style: San Fran people are more hip.
  • Traffic: More in Chicago.
  • Higher education: San Fran much better.

To sum it up, Chicago has more soul, Chicago has got the blues! But still love San Fran, maybe for a past or maybe for a future, but not now.
