There is a lot of frustration over the blanket example they used for Chicago. Is Chicago cheaper than NYC/SFO? Yes.. does that mean it's affordable for the area? No. We have encountered quite a lot of inflation in the housing market due to people from the HLOCs moving in. It's screwing us over pretty badly. The prices are like that due to the labor market and that we've been a blue collar city for the longest time.
