General Discussion

People love to complain about Illinois, at least, conservatives like to whine about the taxes, gas prices in Chicagoland, property tax. But I wonder if they whine when they get on the L and get across Chicago in 20 minutes, instead of fighting hour long traffic, or the quality of education, including community colleges that are dirt cheap everywhere, or the quality and availability of medical care, or the fact that property values are going up and the housing market is pretty brisk right now. I've seen that supposedly the population is declining, but that's mostly in the red counties and places where Republicans are in charge. Illinois is booming, thanks to Governor Pritzker.
