Chicago vs DC?

For context I’m 26M, married, no kids. I’m originally from the DMV area, but have been living in Chicago for the last 2 and a half years. I’ve been thinking about moving back to DC mainly because of family and friends. Also the slightly milder weather.

I really do love Chicago. It has my favorite downtown in America. The people here are fantastic. There are tons of things to do. I love the lake and outdoor activities. There are things here that I would miss if I move.

Would love to hear your guys thoughts on which city you prefer.
