Between rising gas prices and the push for greener living , there couldn’t be a better time to live in the city. My $75 monthly Chicago Transit pass allows me to travel the city as much as I want, and I can walk to the grocery store, restaurants, beach and plenty of other places in the city for free. Your pain at the pump is my ignorant bliss.

And is there any wonder why urban living is kinder on the planet ?
