It's much worse in all respects. Once great taverns, eats are leaving or have left. Talk to musicians who enjoy the late night entertaining but now worry leaving or have had vans and equipment stolen... often... or worse, some beat to schit! Gold Coast crime is normal. Michigan Ave. robberies, too many bothersome scam pandhandlers and freaks. BTW: The cost of everything is triple from just ten years ago. Then you have the routine gang and dissorders on the beautiful lakefront. Cops shutting down beaches on the hottest days, etc. I've seen some nice baseball bat beatings between gangs during a beautiful Sunday while families are picnicking. A few peaceful surfers get arrested for surfing on a closed beach... I mean c'mon now!
Make it what you want but do be more cautious and don't look flashy. There's still some awesome museums, architecture and places of entertainment worth visiting but as mentioned above, not worth staying.
