[quote=Anonymous][quote=donewithchicago][quote=Anonymous]I would love to live there now and would move back in a heartbeat if my husband could get a job there.[/quote]

How long has it been since you lived here? My property taxes just went up by $200 and I have nothing to show for it -- no improvements in neighborhood schools, roads, parks, etc -- because that money is going to plug the city's never-ending budget deficit. The city and state's debt are at junk status and we can't borrow our way out of the budget crisis.

I am not anti-Chicago. It's a beautiful city with good people and a great culture and I hate to leave it. But I'm not willing to ignore the mounting issues. Some people choose to. I don't. [/quote]

A $200 increase is really not that bad. I haven't lived there in a decade but my immediate family is all still there and we go back regularly. I keep up with the local issues and I understand what you're saying. I'm not questioning your decision to leave there; I'm not clear what it is about DC that made you choose DC over Chicago.[/quote]
