The city of Chicago is pricey when it comes to housing, check with the mayor's office or with HUD Housing and urban developement office, and also check with real estate agents aside from selling homes some rent apartments. Good Luck.

The indigenous Potawatomi tribe called the marshes on which Chicago was later built "Checagou," which translates to "wild onion" or "garlic" (also referred to as "skunk cabbage"). [1] This name was transferred by European explorers to the Chicago River, and then by settlers to the name of the city. Before Chicago's founding, the name of the river was spelled several ways, such as "Chetagu" or "Shikago".[citation needed]\n\nThe origin of Chicago's nickname as "The Windy City" is debated and has many possible politically-motivated origins (see List of nicknames for Chicago). The most common explanation is that the phrase was created by New York newspapers in the 1880s, during a national debate over which city would host the 1893 World's Fair. However, the Chicago citizenry turned the intended slur into a compliment of the city's new life and vitality following a quick recovery from the previous decade's Great Chicago Fire. Hence the name remains in common usage. However, there has been evidence that the term Windy City had been in use prior to this common explanation. See Windy City, Origin of Name (Chicago) for a more thorough discussion.

The scholars who have been cited for the origin of the name Chicago are not linguists.  They are Chicago boosters.  The truth, sad to say for Chicagoans, is that the word is quite clearly the Illinois word for "skunk", shikakw.  It is cognate to the word in an Eastern Algonquian language, shkankw, from which the very word "skunk" was borrowed.  Sorry, Chicagoans, your city name means "skunk".
