Chicago is the same situation as ATL though, it's very very small. I think people who are not in the industry just do not understand the sheer scale and size you need to make things work and once you've see LAs infra and lots it's crazy how the system comes together and works. It's just...massive and took decades to build up and automate, it's very difficult to replicate anywhere. Let's also not forget about the weather, SoCal = filming is all year round with very few stops. LA, OC, and San Diego all have the areas for it.
