[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Streeterville...?

I'm sorry. I can't get over this. I haven't lived in Chicago in 10 years, but the below link was my building, on the Mag Mile basically, on LSD barely north of Streeterville. It's practically the same extremely upscale, safe neighborhood with amenities and everything right at your doorstep... High rise, doorman 24/7, etc...

And a 2BR of almost the same size is less than half the price.

Maybe you're just extremely fearful of Chicago that you'd... well, apparently prefer to live in the "safety" of a commercial district or something-- or you think sheer expenditure of cash = safety.

I'm sure your building has a couple more amenities, but...

By my quick search, you must live in one of the literally 2-3 most expensive buildings in Streeterville itself. There's no way you're truly buying significantly better amenities and especially not more safety for the extra $1500-2000+ you're paying over most of the luxury buildings in *Streeterville*.

Your DH is being passive-aggressive, but there does come a time when the sheer amount of money being flushed down the toilet on rent is too mind-boggling to stand. Regardless of your income.

You're saying "Well, the rent is the same as we'd be paying for a mortgage" but you're missing the point that it doesn't HAVE TO. Your case here is poor.

It's like saying, "Well, we eat out every night and it costs us $200, but eating at home also costs us $200, so what's the difference?" Neglecting to mention that your grocery shopping consists of shipping overpriced mid-quality steaks from France to your home because "I trust The French Department of Agriculture more than the USDA." Or something.

I’m from Chicago. I looked up the amenities and area with prices. I think it’s probably this building or a similar one.

If it is, that’s way better than the one PP lived in. [/quote]
