You are all for it? but in a chicago suburb a 3000 sqft home (I know bigger that my empty nester needs) on .8 acres, with well water(I pump it) , septic sewage(I pump it), and no sidewalks. While schools are pretty good scholastically, they're still a liberal pit.

Current value $600K, and that's cheap for chicago suburbs.

My property tax bill in Lake County is $14,000 / year. Nearly $1200 per month just to live in "my" house.

That's along with income tax at 7% and state and local sales taxes that exceeds 10%.

I understand we need to fund public services but this is ridiculous, especially now that I'm retired. I will be forced to move away from my grandchildren to afford their Christmas presents.
