Comment: yes, Illinois home prices are up nicely. But the Tribune should have included a comparison to national prices, which is also provided by Zillow, the source they used. Illinois has done well, comparatively, over the last couple years, but hardly enough to make up for dismal performance overall. See that comparison here.
The Tribune, being like a Pravda for the extreme Leftist Democrats like Pritzker, cherry picks data to spin a narrative. When you look at the whole state of IL, it’s not good as WP shows. Of course for the Tribune, anything south of I80 is a ‘no mans land’ to be mostly just mined for taxes to help prop up the failure Chicago.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
