Bucktown is a wonderful neighborhood full of great local restaurants and businesses. It's easy to feel a sense of community and access to the 606 makes a big difference in being able to stay active in the city. The safety of Bucktown has drastically declined over the last few years, but I see this as a side effect of general systemic and social instability post-pandemic.

I really like living here, but I do think it has felt a little less safe recently.
