I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago and now live in the city but very close to the burbs. It is more dangerous here than it used to be, in the loop and in regular neighborhoods. There are carjackings daily in the suburbs even. That being said, it is probably still relatively safe in the better neighborhoods. But the no cash bail has predictably been a disaster for Illinois.
