Boosted Chicago's Financial Strength? Lots of Laughing...
Property taxes in Chicago are outrageous, Government Pensions are unfunded and every year Chicago has to raise taxes for their budget shortfalls.
My property taxes for a $400,000 home in Chicago was over $8,000 a year. Let's not even get into the State Income tax and all of the other taxes that go along with living in Chicagoland.

Unless of course you want to pay the big taxes that come along with it.
