Yes I’ve said it. Chicago sucks….. Why do you ask? well it’s quite simple SLUMLORDS Chicago is plague by what we call a slumlord. If you move in any where in Chicago you will encounter this jackass of human scum. They act nice and kiss your ass until you move in then your screwed. Remember how your landlord said “I’ll paint the walls before you move in” and you move and and the old paint is still there? yep thats your first sign that you have a slumlord. Or heres another one you find out that your gas bill can power a marine barracks yet you have a one bedroom apartment and wonder what’s up and your landlord says it’s normal in Chicago…. Well your paying for the whole building and your landlord is probably taking in cash from the other tenants in the building and saying he is paying for their gas while your stuck with the bill.The problem isn’t real the low life scum that does it and has been doing this to their tenants it’s because the city of Chicago will not enforce any of it’s laws as long as the alderman is receiving money from your landlord nothing will be done about it. It’s a catch fuck you system in Chicago and I’m very sick of it. I swear it’s like having a Republican conservative politician who takes all your money but under no circumstances does he take responsibility for any of his evil actions. I’m sick of this Bullshit city not getting it’s act together. I’ve called the city hotline and nothing happens they just blow you off. I’ve tried in the past to use the Bar Association to find a lawyer and it’s like the biggest bullshit front association. They don’t care and will not care about your situation (Unless there lot’s of cash involved). It’s very disappointing when you meet a slumlord you don’t know it until the shit hits the fan and your shit out of luck here in Chicago. It’s like a big shit fest run by political bullshit. Take for instance Mayor Daley…. he has not contributed anything to Chicago yet he wins every election at this point it’s got to be rigged. Not only that but he talks as if he knows something yet is no smarter than a cat. I bet he can’t spell that word if asked on the spot. I mean Chicago has too much bullshit with these Slumlords you can’t get help in this city if your having problems just for your information when you have a problem it will not get solved because this city doesn’t enforce anything they talk about.

As a cab driver in the city, my car breaks down from time to time. It’s part of driving 12 hours a day, plus I drive at least 250 miles per day. So when things in the car break, I have to find a fast, reliable, and not very expensive mechanic.
My personal car’s transmission was making a noise and I was referred to a shop called Transmissions 4 less. The guy there told me he is the best in all Chicagoland. So when I took my car there he tried to diagnose it by driving it real hard on his driveway at the shop. He completely broke my transmission instead, right there in front of us. He offered to fix it very cheap so I said ok. He took the car for about a month no update or anything about what is going on. The only update was when I called to check if it was ready. He kept promising me in a “few days” every time I called. Finally I called his shop again on the 30th plus days and talked to his secretary about the issue. She told me he was busy. So I asked if he could drop the price a little more? because I had to rent a car once and a while to get around the city because he was the one who broke my transmission. She told me to ask him myself. So when I showed up this busy mechanic was playing solitaire. The conversation went like this….

Me: Salim so why is the car taking so long to fix

Mechanic/Owner: I’m not fixing your car take it and get the fuck out of here

Me: What!? why!? whats going on!? you said it would be done two and a half weeks ago.

Mechanic/Owner: I’m doing you a favor by giving you a good price and you want to drop the price on me?NOO!!!! I’m not fixing your car leave my shop.

Me: So your not going to fix my car?

Mechanic/Owner: No!!!

Me: are you sure about this?

Mechanic/Owner: Yes I’m sure get the fuck out!

Me: Ok there will be legal consequences.

Mechanic/Owner: Get the fuck out of my shop now before I through your ass out.

At this point he was looking for my key to my car. He told his mechanics that were working to take the key and throw it out into the streets. The secretary found my key and gave it to me outside instead.

So Now I have to find a real mechanic to fix my car and sue for damages caused by this mechanic.

So please do yourself a favor and avoid this shop at all cost……
