People are leaving for a reason... - 1/24/2021
There are several reasons why Illinois is the only state in the Midwest to lose residents in 2019. The population has been in decline for the last 6 years. I was raised in Tinley Park. Moved here from Alsip in 1993. While Tinley itself is a pretty nice place, it is being crushed by policies enacted by the state.
Taxes: Illinois is near the top in almost every category of tax that exists. Granted, we may not be the TOP in any category, but do not let that fool you. While the property values seem reasonable, it fails to show all of the money you pay to the government on the back-end. Money that would otherwise go into your home equity elsewhere. You will end up paying more every month for a $250,000 home than a $350,000 home in many other states. You will pay roughly $7,500 a year in property tax for a home costing $250,000.

Sick of Chicago - 3/23/2010
I have lived in the chicagoland area and suburbs all my life. Chicago has a lot of culture and things to do, but it also has a lot of cold, inpredictable, and GLOOMY days. What has me fed up now is that my 250,000 home budget does not go very far in the chicagoland area and suburbs, it is EXPENSIVE to live here. Summer here is wonderful, but it is the only thing to look forward to as far as weather is concerned. You will be happy with the weather 3 months a year if you are lucky. If you are prone to seasonal depression, the Chicago area is probably not for you. There is usually construction on the expressways and generally speaking there is a lot of traffic. Even my suburb of Tinley Park has a fair amount of congestion on the roads.
