I HAVE LIVED IN CHICAGO ALL MY LIFE AND I DO AGREE THAT IT HAS BECOME EXPENSIVE TO LIVE HERE. THESE POLITICIANS ARE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO NICKEL AND DIME YOU! IN 2014 WE HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT SPEED LIMIT AROUND SCHOOLS AND IF YOU DON'T GET FINED FOR THAT YOU WLL BE CAUGHT BY THE SPEED LIMIT CAMERAS TO WORRY ABOUT! THE BOTTLE WATER IS TAXED @ 5 CENTS PER BOTTLE AND THE STATE TAX @ 9.25% PLUS CITY TAX OF 2.25% IS ABSURD! IF YOU WANT TO PARK DOWNTOWN THE PARKING FEES ARE BETWEEN 3 - 10 MINS PER QUARTER DEPENDING THE LOCATION YOU ARE AT. THE CRIME IS OUT OF HAND AND IT DOES NOT MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE CRIME WILL COME TO YOU ON A BUS OR TRAIN!.. THE WEATHER THIS YEAR HAS BEEN TERRIBLE,AWFUL, AND PLAIN DISGUSTING, UNLESS YOU ACTUALLY LIKE BONE CHILLING COLD WEATHER THEN THINK TWICE ABOUT MOVING TO CHICAGO! AFTER LIVING HERE FOR 42 YEARS, I AM READY TO GET MY FAMILY AND I THE HELL OUT OF HERE. FINALLY, YES THERE IS THINGS TO DO HERE BUT WHEN YOU HAVE A MILLION PEOPLE TRYING TO PARK AND GO TO THE SAME EVENTS IT BECOMES VERY IRRITATING AND BELIEVE ME IT IS NOT CHEAP TO GO TO ANY EVENTS PARKING IS USUALLY 15-20 DOLLARS PER CAR PLUS THE TICKETS AND FOOD!!!
