Kendall County, roughly 40 miles southwest of Chicago, recorded the nation's third-fastest percentage gain from 2004 to 2005, growing an estimated 9.4 percent, or by about 6,800 people.

Ugh. Yes a place where all the houses look the same, every place is dominated by Applebees/BedBathBeyond/WalMart, and the kids will grow up in boredom.

There are much better places to live in the Chicagoland area. Even if you don't want to live in the city, Naperville, St. Charles, Highland Park, Winnetka, etc. are better places to raise a family than the HELL that is Kendall County.

Unfortunately most young couples do not have six figure
incomes to support those suburban area lifestyles. I hear alot of 20 to 30 yr olds going for Indiana.

The Taxes are very high. The public schools in Chicago and some cook county districts are filled with gangs.
I would like to see a voucher system. But the socialist state
won't do it.

If I was going to move to Chicago, I'd be moving either to southern Wisconsin (Kenosha, Lake Geneva, Walworth) or to northwestern Indiana (Portage, Michigan City, Indiana Dunes). Why live in a Democratic machine controlled hell-hole like Illinois?
