I guess I'm fortunate to live in such a sleepy neighborhood. A canvas of the last month of NextDoor posts reveals: - A dozen 'Lost pet / found pet' posts. - A half-dozen 'Can anyone recommend a carpenter / cleaner / FixIt man' posts. - One 'Did y'all hear those gunshots, where were they?' post. - One 'I almost hit a guy and his dog while driving, can anyone ID them so I can apologize?' post. I guess that's the trade-off for living in the rear end-end of the state. :P edit: Going back another month, this is the only passive-aggressive post I could find:

Mine was super boring apart from a two month old post about some nearby vacant apartments with some dumbass dog-whistling racist reasons they shouldn't be used for low-income housing. Wish I would have seen it at the time.

They seem much more culturally and economically aligned with Chicago than with the, uh, Illinois heartland

As long as they're wasting energy on something that can never happen instead of any other dumb right wing project that actively harms people I think it's fine if these stories come out a few times a year.

Alternatively, just cut out literally only Chicago instead of all of Cook county and it would probably work out. Only about half the county actually lives in Chicago proper. Plus, the downstate morons are probably clueless enough that they'd go along with it! Also: a downstate moron posted:“What I see happening is a state that will enact more business-friendly policy and it will attract business and attract citizenry instead of repelling them,” Williams said. “The out-migration will hopefully stop and we will regain some of what we lost. I also look forward to downstate values and rural values being better represented.” I'm genuinely curious if these idiots have drunk enough koolaid that they actually believe this is what would happen.

Living in Effingham county makes me want to bash my head in most days. Teaching government and sociology in a high school makes it even worse. These motherfuckers would just start bitching about Champaign, the Quad Cities, Bloomington, Peoria or Carbondale I love how the Effingham ballot resolution specifically excludes Cook county from the discussions as if they do not have a say in this. Honestly, what worries me more is that Cook and the collar counties decide that they do not need to deal with this poo poo.

Now that political gerrymandering is officially legal and required, it would probably be possible to eliminate two or three of Illinois' (R) Congress districts, if the state Democrats had a spine

I loving hate gerrymandering and I generally oppose states using it but sometimes I want to say “gently caress it” and just let Illinois go all out. If one side can do everything out of spite, why the gently caress shouldn’t the other side. Kill Shimkus’ congressional district and kill a couple more state districts in this area. gently caress it.

I live in Effingham and was born in Jasper. I am guessing that the 2 interstates running through it is what keeps it in black. The only thing I can assume about Jasper county is the power plant. Everything else is not surprising.

Literally the ONLY downside of splitting Illinois into two states is donating more GOP senators for downstate. Over-represented rural districts already have an outsize impact on our government. Every other outcome would 100% be in favor of Cook County/Chicago proper. Oh, cool, we have pension debts, but we don't have to subsidize downstate anymore? Sweet. Let's pay that poo poo off in like three years and then throw a loving rager to celebrate. Big Black Dick fucked around with this message at 02:45 on Feb 3, 2020 |

Comedy option: do a dry run for a couple years where taxes collected in a county can only be spent in that county. When when people are forced to flee due to their infrastructure completely disintegrating the problem resolves itself.

Well, you're also condemning all the minorities living downstate to a state government that now hates them and wants them to die. But sure, other than that, no downsides!

Yeah, wherever the money was going downstate, it probably wasn't that important anyway. Hold on, I'm hearing reports about widespread starvation and infrastructure collapse Let's try not to use the secession stuff as pretext to fantasize about stopping "subsidizing" towns that don't vote the right way. It's basically welfare queen logic

The X-man cometh posted:This map also shows that wealthy people who from St Louis, Davenport, and Dubuque would rather live in Illinois than Missouri or Iowa. I was doing some looking yesterday and I can't loving believe that Missouri has a population of just over 6 million when their two biggest cities: Kansas City and St. Louis have just less than 500,000 people and just over 300,000 people respectively. In fact their top 10 cities have less than 1.5 million people combined. That is a fuckload of people living way out in the middle of nowhere. I mean I guess living near Chicago just has me not remember exactly how small actual cities are because Aurora only has like 120,000 people in it. Or I guess I should really look more at combined statistical areas since the St. Louis CSA has almost 3 million people.

Yeah I think St Louis on the MO side is a tiny central city but there are like a million little suburb towns right next to it because white flight people don’t want to share a government or something.

There's around 1 million people in St. Louis County alone. KC actually has a smaller metro area than St. Louis does. Roughly half of the MO population lives in either the STL or KC metro area. Meanwhile, the Chicago metro area is closer to 2/3 of the total IL population.
