It’s ok. Housing is actually going to get real affordable in Illinois in the coming years.

I’ll never understand why progressives seek to emulate the disastrous housing regulations of San Francisco and New York, but regardless their onerous requirements will just make it so landlords have to raise their rents and security deposits to cover the cost of business.
