Chicago literally means "I do defecate" in spanish

Big American cities are generic. The exception is NYC. Charlotte, Denver, etc. might as well be the same fucking place. Only NYC has real, distinct culture.
Chicago may have a bit of that, but not to the same degree NYC does. It's just NYC-lite, like every other big American city.

out of control crime, probably

People are afraid of getting shot.

No. It's an Indian word that means Stinky Onion.

Something to do with tax breaks I'm sure
Noah Howard
He's right, white boi

Didn't prevent 70s NY or 80s LA from getting a lot of movies shot there
Jose Wilson

Anything Chicago can do, NYC can do better.

Chicago stopped being interesting after Prohibition ended. Go watch some Al Capone Docus if you have such a hard-on for such a boring city
Michael Howard
No, Boston is. Your image proves it.
Mason Perez
That would be "Si cago"

prolly cause the cast and crew don't want to be raped, murdered or mugged by people of color

The whole city government is crooked and corrupt. Companies can't make any money trying to do business there.

Chicago has been in alot of movies in recent memory dude. In the past it was under utilized because liberal fucks wanted giant taxes.

taxes and shitty local industry. A lot of the time they'll fly in the crew from LA and just shoot a few locations/landmarks in the city, then shoot the rest elsewhere. They do a good job of making Empire look like NY though. Easy on Netflix is probably the most "Chicago" production in recent years, but it's an irritatingly mediocre show, which befits the setting, I guess.
I think the city is vaguely trying to incentivize more productions but they're losing out hard to Atlanta.
all the violence is segregated to the south, everything north of 35th street is gentrified as fuck. and even then the south side isn't that bad if you're not a pussy soyboy who's afraid of "muh brown people"
essentially it's just a boring city for arts and culture

It's fucking cold as shit and windy which doesn't make for great shooting conditions. LA is great because you can shoot practically anytime and make it look like anywhere. "on location" is overrated nonsense
