Because, it was insecure, war prone, and many other problems in reality....He wanted peace and to lead a happy life....so it was a medium of escape for him
It can be both of things. It can be charlie's one more fantasy as he was trying to get into the third level so he was finding its possibilities in any thing, whether by himself or through his friend Sam. Or it can be that Sam too wanted to escape and he founded the third level enterance. Why Sam? because he too was a normal person first who was confined in his moribund city life and its tension. Huh!its confusing...
i thing the letter which charlie read is also a part of his fantasy.that letter was not more than charlie's imagination
You get kidnapped by your friends, then you escape on your first/second try, or you kidnap your friend and they escape on their second/third try.

A Ford Escape is not designed to have a third row seat
The third level does not exist as it is clearly mentioned that Grand Central Station consists of the two levels. The third level is the figment of Charley's imagination who wants to escape the harsh reality and enter a peaceful and tranquil world. Its a waking dream wish fulfilment.
In "The Third Level," Galesburg symbolizes a place of escape and refuge from the pressures and demands of modern life. It represents a sanctuary where the protagonist can find solace and a connection to the past, offering an alternative reality that is peaceful and simpler.
In Saints Row The Third you can escape the cops by going into a shop you own or a crib you own.
Charlie Chaplin
Charley, the main character of the story finds a portal which leads to 1894. He tries to go to his hometown, Galesburg. But, as because he didn't have any currency of 1894, he had to postpond his plans for the future. He exchanged his 3 hundred dollar bills for less than 2 hundred dollars of that of 1894's currency. However, he never finds the third level again. When he tells this to his wife and his psychiatrist friend about this, both think that alike philately, this is also another way to take refuge from the realities of the world. However, the proof of the third level's existence comes from the most unexpected source, his psychiatrist friend - Sam. Sam sends Charlie a letter telling him about the third level. When Sam heads over to 1894 through the third level, he sends a first day cover to his Grandfather's address. His Grandfather thinking that the first day cover was sent to him by himself, adds it to his collection of stamps and never opens it thinking that there is nothing in that envelope but blank paper. In the story, you will find a line '...he started my collection'. It means that Charlie's Grandfather had a collection of stamps along with first day covers which was passed over to Charlie. When Charlie was looking at his collection, he found the letter which Sam had written to him and that letter gave solid proof of the third level's existence. You might be confused by the last part of the story, but it's really simple you see... the concept is something like something you do in the past which has direct effect on the present. Charlie received the letter because Sam wrote it to him in 1894. Charlie didn't exist in 1894 because in 1894, he wasn't born. So, Sam had to think and write a letter to Charlie's Grandfather who's hobby was to collect stamps alike Charlie and Sam knew that if somehow he could make his Grandfather into adding the letter to his collection, then it would straightly go off to Charlie as Charlie's collection was started by Charlie's grandfather. So, I think it's clear that Charlie got that letter only when Sam sent it to him. He didn't receive it until Sam actually went to 1894 and wrote a letter to Charlie's grandfather. It's like this...something someone does in the past which has a direct ( in this case immediate) effect on the present you are living in.
