You sound as if you are describing Plainfield, not Chicago.

I don't know anyone who lives in the city. Anyone with a family lives in the burbs off the train line, with house and rent prices increasing geometrically as you approach distance to the train stops.

Most of the people who work for us in Chicago live in the city. I live in Oak Park, 5 minutes walk from the Green Line, in a house that costs 1/10th as much as the same house in MTV.
