It has been quite a while but that's good to hear, that was worrying back a few years for the state!
But that's also interesting to note that city of Chicago is quite cheap then unincorporated? suburban cook county, the thing of course is all the historical reasons why city of Chicago is empty, though as of late, Bronzeville and more south has not been so bad.
So many beautiful houses there that were/are still quite cheap, relatively and good property.
- Kon-Peki 5y agoI'm not sure there is such a thing as unincorporated territory in Cook County. But consider that each skyscraper downtown is paying millions of dollars a year in taxes. There are a lot of large industrial sites in the city - for example, the factory that makes the Ford Explorer and the supplier park surrounding it - is inside the city of Chicago. It's a huge tax base; not to say that the city is better run than the suburbs or anything. Consider also that there is only 1 fire chief (and his salary and pension) for 2.7 million people, etc. The suburbs aren't sharing their administration staff with other suburbs ;)
