Asheville NC is just about right.
Which city in America do you think should be the model city?
I say either San Fransisco or Los Angeles.

Are you being serious? Chicago most certainly has crooks and corruption both in the private companies and in their government. It's a cesspool for crime and corruption.Chicago is the greatest city in the US. Greatest most intelligent people, greatest businesses(compare actual valuable labour with wall street crooks), nicest city.
If our values included glorifying the Mafia and corruption then I guess we should be most proud of Chicago. My dad is from Chicago and I have family that live there, it's a hell hole off the coast of Lake Michigan.I would say every American should be most proud of Chicago to represent them in the world.
Neither over rated New York crooktown or scum attraction Los Angeles crime hole(because of worlds biggest income differences) can compete with that.

New York is over rated, but I would say it's less crooked than Chicago. Los Angeles is a crime hole like Chicago, but it's not much better. Chicago has it's history and "good" things, but overall it's a terrible city. I seriously wouldn't want the world to view Chicago as our model city.
In all seriousness, which parts of Chicago have you been to that are that bad? Seriously. Give me street names. I've lived here for my whole life and never encountered this mythical Chicago you are talking about.
BTW, you do know the mafia stuff is from the 30's right? Generally, the first sign that somebody doesn't really know **** about Chicago is that they mention the mob. Just sayin'.
Other: None.
Expansion: I don't like cities/towns, and wouldn't want to live in one, unless it was really small.
Perhaps max pop of 250-500?
Large cities, IMO, are something that needs to be done away with.
And, yes, I am at least partially serious.
Spread em' out somehow, I haven't thought it through.What would you do with all the people if you did away with large cities?
I'm kinda partial to Boystown. Especially down around Sheffield.
Hmm.As someone who lives in the Minneapolis area (worst sprawl in the country) I would vote for Portland, Oregon. Their policy of basically drawing a ring around the city and banning development outside it has led to a flourishing downtown area and a great light rail system. Boston would be a close second. We need cities that encourage building up rather than out.
Boulder, Colorado...what we COULD be with good zoning.
One of the funniest things about that area is that it's the one part of the city where the construction workers are getting whistled at. :lol:
I used to get a kick out of it, but half the guys I worked with would get all freaked out by it. :lol:
:dohIn my whole life, I have only seen maybe five hot construction workers. And one of those was on a stripper stage in Key West. I don't think he was really a construction worker now that I think about it.
If I had to pick a major metropolitan, I'd take Chicago.
