New Trier High School made national headlines nine years ago as a “canary in a coal mine” for political indoctrination in public schools. The canaries lived.

Hmmm rezone from office to residential? Doesn’t that drop the real estate tax rate? Office space is taxed at a higher rate than residential. So either the residents continue to pay commercial rates or the tax base shrinks. Good news for you existing property owners. There is a 150% chance that your taxes will rise preciptously.

I believe the rule is if one has more than a set number of units, 30% have to be reserved for Section Eight or face stiff penalties on a monthly basis from the Federal government.
