What is it like in Chicago? It’s really THAT bad?
(I’m an European)
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.
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.
