Folks who moved to Chicago for retirement?

I moved out years ago for work but want to move back in for potential semi-retirement and eventual retirement. I am a single guy, no family, no debt. Middle aged and around one million net worth. I work in Software development and I have applied for jobs in Chicago but so far no luck. I miss the city, the and hustle and bustle and eager to move back after being away for years. Wondering if someone made the same decision and would like to chime in. Thanks
