It's actually insane. There are groups on Facebook that will have comments like "I moved away from Chicago in 1965 and haven't been back sense. OMG it's such a bad city now."


The Loop part is funny. There's definitely way more people downtown working now and at least during those hours at least it doesn't feel any more dangerous than say 2015. Back in November, December, etc it didn't feel like that either but way less people than now. I think people confused their feelings of safety sometimes with less people on the streets. I do think it's vital for these areas to be active again. Kind of a hard balance between knowing that a lot of people don't have to work in the office all the time to get work done vs. knowing that these areas need to stay vital still (and residential conversions may take awhile so...).
