Sent my kids out of state for college - told them to pick a part of the country they'd like to live in and go to school there as you typically find a job out of college near where you went to school.
Wife an I finally sold our house (Lake County - 60047) August 2019 - we bought in 2007 - we took a huge loss - Illinois will never see those 2007 values again. Zillow shows the value to be estimated at $100,000 less than we sold it - 1 year ago. $100K DROP IN ONE YEAR.
So glad to be out. No more $18K property tax, Illinois & Lake County crazy taxes.
Oh the property taxes in Illinois especially, Lake & McHenry county are among the highest in the nation. Our state ranks #50 in the nation for fiscal responsibility. But a lot of us, especially small business owners, are entrenched here and it would be hard to pull up stakes.
Fellow Lake County IL Pede -
GTHO of that hell hole.
