Chicago voters view housing affordability as bigger issue than crime – Center Square

With the survey conducted just days after residents were hit with $34 million in new property tax increases, Illinois Realtors researchers found 41 percent of residents now point to housing affordability as the issue lawmakers need to be most concerned about, with 23 percent listing property taxes and 18 percent overall costs. Crime and gun violence were listed as the city’s second biggest issue at 23 percent.
