I was born in Chicago.

I had a beautiful condo downtown off Rush street, that I owned with my brother. I begged him to sell it with me, but he said no, and bought my half.

the annual fees and taxes run around $40K per year. It’s prime real estate.

These bozos will raise the taxes another 10% per year, probably more.

He’ll get his money out of it and then some, that’s not the problem...

Chicago is a toilet. You’re safe in the daylight, and in most places downtown, but that’s it. A beautiful view means nothing to me anymore.

I have no desire to return there for any reason.

I suppose your brother is not a fan of the new SALT rules.

The left has essentially destroyed every major American city.

“He’ll get his money out of it and then some,”

Don’t be so sure of that. Housing prices are getting a serious whacking because of all those taxes. Crains has done some articles on it recently.
