Prices around the state are still up from last year. In Joliet, a 1-bedroom apartment is going for about $1,000, up 13% from last year. In Schaumburg, the price is around $1,500, up 14%, and in St. Charles, a 1-bedroom apartment averages around $1,900, a 13% increase over last year.
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.
