According to Realtor.com, Illinois currently has just 41 percent of the active housing listings it had before the pandemic. The national average sits at 88 percent – more than twice Illinois’ rate. Illinois is recovering far more slowly than most other states when it comes to getting homes back on the market.
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.
