dude chicago is not like texas or atl where they have good neighborhoods and bad neighborhoods. chicago is like new york or london. one street is bad, the next street mmight be good. so there is police presence everywhere. no such thing as a bad area in chicago unless you go farrrrr west or farrrrrrr south. everywhere else is a nice mixture of good and bad streets so this ya statement does not apply to someone living in chicago grin

Abi ooO!!! I have been to the very same Chicago so many times over. Lived in NY self and not a single situation like the ones he is listing here. Now I am wondering if he looks like a drug dealer self. ROFLMAO!!! @Buzugee, I am sorry but your story does not compute. Do you live in the bad area in the south side or in the west? I have never gotten a ticket before, just warnings, and 100% of the time, I was at fault. Again, dude, maybe you need to ask God to cleanse you of all that bad luck there, cause it seem like you carry the thing for head dey waka is the main, ROFLMAO!!

From what you have just said, why would u have to park your car in a wrong place, it is called violating the law, so u dont blame the govt for that, but blame ya own judgement.
The economy has gone down everywhere in da world, so it is not not chicago, even USA as a nation is owing trillions, so nothing new.

its not registering with you bruh ? they are proactively searching for people to give tickets. if you park just an inch out of the no parking area, maybe its just the nose of ya car sticking out, 750 bucks gee. if you have a slight crack on ya windshield (they got me for that one. slight unoticeable crack and when i got downstairs ticket was sitting on the car telling me to go fix it and pay the city 25 bucks. lol dude u just don't know. this aint a case of bad luck. its everywhere. i even got off lightly. i know dudes who have coughed up close to 3gs this yr alone in tickets.
i know cab drivers who have driven round all day and made themselves 100 bucks only for one ticket to wipe out the sweat and blood of 12 hours of driving. hey economy aint good gee. some of us survive nicely under the depressed economy but alot don't. it is what it is.
me i cannot survive under such pressure cooker environment. which is why i am taking my black ass home grin grin grin make i go eat suya everyday inside paid for house no property tax, dey do my jollof dey go grin

Fine, then, learn how to park well, and make sure the nose of ur ride is turked well.
make sure u fix all cracks on the windshield.
make sure u dont waste money anyhow bro, it is abt the law, if u dont know the law, get the constitution that surronds vehicle and drivers in chicago and read well, and you follow it, and you will be fine

ROFLMAO!!! First off. Why park where you know you are not supposed to? You can park in so many car parks out there or metered areas all over the town. What is this? SCARE TACTICS?  What World do you live in?

Why PARK YOUR CAR in the wrong places? Do you know that it is people like me you inconvenience when you do that? See me see wahala… so you park your car in the wrong place and expect not to be hassled? Na only me dey see this?? Why BREAK THE LAW and EXPECT TO GET AWAY WITH IT?


people dey ride train and bus everyday for a reason. Do you think those people are stupid? If you don't know how to obey parking rules, may I suggest you leave your car at home, take public transport like the rest of us do. You can find good parking at the train station.

OOOHH!!! Now that I have provided evidence to show that you may be making most all this up in your head, it is now time to attack me by claiming I like to argue? I hate to disappoint you dude, but you seem the cause of your situation. I have NEVER seen Police JAIL and I have never been pulled over by the COPS and harrassed like you claim the police in Chicago do. So, it is clear that this is not really about the Chicago police but about your case, maybe being one of the few out there but you somehow push it as the GENERAL case, which it is NOT.

And like I mentioned earlier, you may need to go get your head washed in the river or something. Police always on your neck, is, according to tradition signs of some bad vibes on your person.

my guy, they knew pple like u will break the law and that was why they attach some money to the crime u have commited, without the fine, how would they pay the popo tagging ur cars.
secondly, if what you have gone for is interview, sorry, next time, take a cab, if u get tagged, cos u vehicle wont move, go to court and fight the ticket, but still, u yet to show me that u get some tix due to the fault of others, but i still blv it has all been a fault of urs.

YOU no even serious. I am here. I dey take train to even go exercise in the park, You dey here complaining? Are you and that car of yours inseparable?  See me see wahala. You live in a city with great public transit system, you dey complain about how you have to park your PRECIOUS car illegally to go to pick something from the store. Dude, I deal with the same but I drive around to find good parking spot still. Geez, we had to drive around GAY central for over an hour to find place to park last weekend as well. It is what happens when you live in a city with so many cars. You still have to obey the law.


Infact, tell me your car license number. I go call popo, tell them say you be illegal parker so make them they check your car every 30 minutes. Free money for the city right there. LMAO!!

Dude, here is the equation.

1) Gas is over $4 a gallon
2) Parking in the city is about $25 a day
3) Even at that price it is scarce
4) Driving in traffic takes about an hour and a half if you are not careful


When you put two and two together, you realize that when living in a city like Chicago that has great public transport system, taking the train is not a bad idea. I not only save money but save myself the headache of looking for parking space every day. I drive my car around on the weekends when I have to. Take the train one day and see the caliber of people who ride the train, and you may understand why trying to put people who choose to ride the train down is not really a good idea. All that ego crap we dey carry as naija no apply here.


Parking your car at the train station is only $30 bucks a month.
