Being on the north side of Chicago, you're probably already in one of the "move-to" and not the "move-away" from areas. It's expensive, but let's be serious it

Being on the north side of Chicago, you're probably already in one of the "move-to" and not the "move-away" from areas.
It's expensive, but let's be serious it's nothing compared to the coast – with a good quality of life (as the reasons you stated).
- dsizzle 5y agoBy "move-to", not sure if you mean Chicago overall, or the north side in particular, but if the former Chicago is growing slower than the national average. 2% last decade (vs 8% nationally) https://chicago.suntimes.com/2021/8/12/22622062/chicago-census-2020-illinois-population-growth-decline-redistricting-racial-composition https://chicago.suntimes.com/2021/8/12/22622062/chicago-cens... I had the impression Chicago was actually losing people, but that info was old, from the previous decade where it lost 7%.
- kerbs 5y agoNorth Chicago, or really any of the nicer parts. Chicago is a weird place for various political and economic reasons (I’m from Minneapolis, so just a neighbor), and was not growing pre-pandemic. I wouldn’t be surprised to see that trend reverse given its relative LCOL - especially with the Denver/Austins of the world no longer being very affordable.
