I've never used those in my life. I haven't rode a bike since 2004 and might never ride one ever again.
I should've been on one on the day I got jump by some four corner hustlers
I asked this earlier. I'm moving g to Chicago for a job in like 2 weeks from Florida. What are OK areas that I could spend less than a stack a month in rent. IDC about normal street crime shyt, just don't wanna move into a war zone.

I have my own bike, so I don't use divy. but I haven't rode my bike on the south side in a few years now.

rent in chicago is skyrocketing. and you can blame all the new yuppies for this that are all moving close to downtown. Here's an article that talks about it:

The north side in general isn't bad. U get to be around all those bars/clubs with those "I wanna party" ass white girl in the areas east of Cicero. The western part of the Northside is pretty boring. Very family oriented but I'm sure u gotta car. U might be near John Wayne Gacy old house location too if u decided to move there

If he has a car, I wouldn't wanna be up north. there's no parking. I'd rather live in bronzeville/grand boulevard, oakland, or kenwood. parking is much more abundant, and you're equally close to downtown as being up north with public transportation access as well.
hyde park is cool, but you're gonna run into issue with no parking or lack of parking most likely.
I'm not moving with a car, and that vibe doesn't mesh well with me. And I've read that shyts horrendous during Cubs season. I'd like to live near a park also. If I have close access to the blue line would I be able to get around the city easily?
And I would have the chills if I had to pass that mans house. I live near Danny Rollings house now, gives me the creeps.
Are Humboldt and Garfield park hood?

Garfield is ghetto but u just gotta use common sense. The buses stop running at midnight so I wouldn't make a habit of walking home from the Green line or blue line if the walk to your spot is beyond a mile past midnight.
Humboldt got rough and nice parts.

garfield park is on the west side, just west of the united center. still kinda hood. it won't cost a lot to live there. You wouldn't be near the blue line, but likely closer to the green line. I wouldn't really recommend that for u.
why do you need to be near the blue line? any train line will get you around the city fast if you are close to one. and if you work downtown, the green line takes you downtown just as well as the blue.
humboldt park is predominantly ricans. It's kinda hood, or kinda going thru regentrification depending on which part you live since it borders wicker park to the east, which is a very
hipster type area.humboldt park won't put you near the blue line at all tho, but you can easily get around that area cuz there are buses everywhere

a cheaper alternative, if you wanna live near downtown is pilsen. that area is predominantly mexican, but it's regentrifying as well. you would be by the pink line, which also takes you downtown. from what I have seen of the housing cost, I assume rentals in that area would be more reasonable.

another alternative would be to live in Oak Park. that is the first suburb to the west of chicago. it has blue and green line access, but you will be safe walking at night for the most part, and will only be 15-20 min from downtown via train.
I don't need to be near it just by looking at CTA maps it looked like the easiest route to get to where I'll wanna go. That's the only reason I brought that up.
I'm moved back to Florida from north Philly not trying to live in that kinda hood again. As long as its just trickin, dope, and random property shyt IDC tbh. Kinda unavoidable in a big city with my budget.
I want to live in the city instead of the burbs. I like living in urban environments more. I just wanted to lease a place get to know the city then actually choose where I'll like.
I'll look into Pilsen, see what the rents are.
to you guys for taking the time to talk to a Chicago newbie.
