re: #165 Hecuba’s daughter
In suburban Chicago, my tax rates are definitely higher than your sister’s! And we also have income tax + sales tax. So we’re paying substantially more taxes than our brother in Texas.
Deerfield, IL, below average home in an above average suburb (for the area, an old farmhouse, on a busy street, $650,000), $18,000 annually in property taxes.
Waukegan, IL, one of the lowest socioeconomic cities in northern Illinois, $185,000 house, $5,300 in taxes.
