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.
As I said in an earlier comment, you’d have to buy a house in the Chicago area for $0 to avoid the purchase being a very negative financial investment over time. Even then, eventually it would be a negative investment, but at least the $0 purchase buys you some years of financial well being. Of course, the problem is that houses aren’t selling for $0 (yet).
Things are affordable for a reason, I’m sure you are all smart enough to figure out why.
