Don't know. Chicago is an amazing fun city to live in. Far better than DFW area with nothing but endless chain restaurants, strip malls, and cookie cutter suburbia neighborhoods. IMO. Yeah it gets cold in ORD, but so does Dallas with their miserable ice storms, it just not cold nearly as long. ORD is more expensive in general but its a better city in just about every aspect other than cheaper housing. DFW has historically been very senior compared to ORD as well, except for lately the 175 is thrown that off. For the other fleets DFW is still way more senior.
DFW area maybe better if you have a family full of kids and a tight budget, but for a single person, ORD easily wins.
