Chicago
"Big city life - lots of people"
There are always a lot of people walking down the streets but I don't think it'd be the best place to raise children and such as there are often hobos going around and asking for money. They follow you and keep on asking for money and I don't think that would be the best for a child to encounter.

"Not the best place to raise a family"
I personally don't think this place would be all that great for people who are thinking about raising a family there. It wouldn't be TOO bad of an idea if you had no other choice but it could be much better is what I'm trying to say

Chicago has some truly amazing and charming neighborhoods and a great deal of experience to offer kids who grow up in the city. My suggestion to any and all people planning a move to Chicago (or any major city for that matter) is to do your research and do it thoroughly.
Check out different areas at different times of the day to see what is going on. Read public forums, get to know some people from the area who are willing to give an honest opinion about it. Above all else accept the good with the bad and work to combat as much of the bad as possible.
No one place is the ideal for every single family. Tons of families do well making their lives in Chicago. Other families are better off in the suburbs or in more rural settings. To each their own.
