Thank you
I’ve lived there once before. My property taxes in CO for the same size house I have here will be half what I pay now.
I’m IL born and raised and it’s a damn shame what’s happened here. I mean, we all know Chi-town has been a cesspool of corruption forever, but I am so sick of my vote counting for jack squat every election. Look at a map of IL in every recent election and the whole state is red save Chicago and E.St Louis yet it will remain this way into the foreseeable future.
Business is fleeing, taxes being raised which we all know will do nothing. I want to live somewhere my children will have better opportunities.
We are fortunate that the opportunity presented itself before it’s near impossible to get out of here. Once this state goes bankrupt, and it will, just try finding a job or selling house.
My advice...get out sooner rather than later.
I’ve lived here’s since I was twelve, almost 40 years. It’s a real damned shame what’s been done to Illinois. Geographically speaking well over 80% of this it is very conservative.
Parts of it are stunningly beautiful, too. But decades of rampant corruption from both parties have brought Illinois to the brink of destruction. I doubt we will be able to get out before the crash comes. So we are preparing for it as best we can.
