Well, everyone is entitled to their opinion, but its not all in the eye of the beholder.
There nothing wrong with rating cities, schools, employees, employers, countries, medical clinics, highways, pension plans, car insurance, or dog vaccinations.
Consumer Reports certainly fills a function -- or is everything subjective.
Its pretty obvious to me that urban Chicago is one of this country's best urban villages.
The rating that matters is that people are moving there. Doesn't mean its perfect, perfect for you, or perfect for everyone.
