The quieter the neighborhood, the less likely it is you&#x27;ll ever interact with a police officer.<p>If you&#x27;re in your mid-20s, the typical places to end up would be Uky Village, Logan Square, Roscoe Village, Lincoln Square, and Uptown.<p>You wouldn&#x27;t want to live in Streeterville or Edgewater for reasons beyond the number of police there. If you&#x27;re seeing lots of police in Wrigleyville, it&#x27;s because the neighborhood is overrun with drunk overgrown fraternity members. If you actually live in Wrigleyville, there&#x27;s a good chance you <i>like</i> the police, because Wrigleyville drunks are pretty fucking annoying.<p>The kinds of police interactions characterized by things like the Laquan McDonald shooting are more or less confined to the south and west sides of the city, where you&#x27;re not going to move anyways, because nobody is moving there.<p>There aren&#x27;t neighborhoods in Chicago that are low-crime and high-police-violence.<p>I agree with the other commenter on this thread who points out that Chicago is just like every other big city. One of the things that makes Chicago distinctive is (unfortunately) the legacy of segregation and redlining from the 60s and 70s, which gutted whole large areas of the city. There aren&#x27;t large sections of Manhattan or Brooklyn with virtually no white residents (at least, no area as large as the Austin&#x2F;Lawndale neighborhoods). It&#x27;s an extremely unfortunate situation for people that don&#x27;t have the means to get out of those neighborhoods, and at the same time pretty much entirely shields white people from problems with CPD.
