Illinois and Chicago are screwd!

The census results are so inaccurate it is ridiculous. There was such an emphasis to count any person they could in Cook County in the 2020 census that comparison to 2010 is meaningless. JB gamed the system, just like he did when he ripped out his toilets to evade real estate taxes. The whole thing is a joke.

The strong parts of the state are growing. Rockford, Aurora, Springfield and Peoria all declining. All of these places are more affordable than Chicago, yet they declined while Chicago increased. Apparently the economic center of the state is doing just fine and it’s the hillbilly areas that need to address their population loss.
