I do that often enough. Roads are the same everywhere on average. There are massive pot holes on my street right now in Lincoln Square. Every CPS school is funded on the same formula, some extremely poor schools actually got reprieve during Rahm's time from the per pupil funding formula. I haven't noticed sidewalks being different. I have noticed more trash lying around in some areas but I'm not sure that has anything to do with garbage collection.
