You can do much, much better than this in Chicago by choosing a location anywhere outside the mag mile. The overwhelmingly superior quality of rental housing in Chicago is one many reasons this is a great place to start a company (unless you're hoping to raise VC money).
Also: give up. You're obviously moving back here. You bring Chicago up more than I do! One- of- us. One- of- us.

I would've posted an area a bit younger/more residential, but I didn't know what the article meant by "city center" for SF. Moving back is on the radar: we'd like to buy a place at some point and we can't really conscience the housing prices in DC or NYC, especially considering that in our field Chicago pays as much as anywhere else.
The decor is a little bit eclectic (though I love wall paper), and the lake view is indirect, but it's a quiet little corner just a few blocks from the magnificent mile: https://maps.google.com/maps?saddr=E+Chestnut+St+%26+N+Dewit.... Only $2,000 per month for a 2BR and 1,000 square feet.
