Agree that property taxes and zoning are drivers of the lower housing stock here. However, I have recently seen articles nearby that Illinois has 550,000 illegals here today. Returning them home would also seem to be a solution to this problem. Much better than putting a 4 unit place in a single family neighborhood, with all the likely problematic dynamics we read about every day.
