50,000 over the last decade??? Nothing to excited about.

Observing from 150 miles away, I could never understand why there were so many people there anyway.
Lousy weather
High taxes
Expensive cost of living
Huge underclass
Awful traffic
To: ChicagoConservative27
Nearly the entire downstate area has hemorrhaged residents (including us)due to a poor economy, high taxes to feed Chicago, and a worsening social climate.

I could never understand why there were so many people there anyway. Nice beaches for a short, short window of the year. And the sausage, pepperoni and onion pies. I'm Sirius.

200,000 left between 2020 and 2021.

Deep dish? A relative recently moved back to the Chicago area, and when my wife and I went to see their new place, they bought a thin crust from Lou Malanti’s. I guess they were gone long enough to forget that you get deep dish from there, not thin crust. Oh, well.

I meet a lot of Hispanics here in Florida who lived in Chicago. That seems to be a common pit stop before they fan out elsewhere in the country.

We are about 80 miles away. Daughter and her fiancé live and work there.
They are planning on buying a house in the suburbs eventually.

We went there this past winter. Their Calamari was the best I’ve had.

Anyone who has been Downtown in Pre-Covid years could see the 1000’s of new apartments/condo’s being built.
The old industrial area of the Chicago River is now brand new high rises apartment buildings. And the Condo’s are very expensive!

The wife and I left for TN 4 1/2 yrs ago to be close to our youngest son and his family. About halfway between Mt Vernon and Marion, on i-57, there was a state trooper in the middle watching southbound traffic. I think I read his mind as he watched me drive by in the rented 29’ uhaul: “well, there goes another one.”
