It really depends so much on the area I suppose. We bought our house in 2008 for $65,000. All of the houses around us are pretty much the same. Several house have been put on the market for $120,000+ but no one is buying them. One house has been on the market since 2019 and it started at $129,000 and we have watched the asking price just drop over and over again. It is now down to $79,000. Edit: Or my area sucks and no one wants to live in it with neighbors like my family.

Yeah, we are doing a heloc thing and our house appraised for 25% more than we paid 4 years ago. The portage park area has gone absolutely nutso. I'd love to sell this thing for 450k except for the fact there is no where to buy a house for that much near anywhere I can live since I will have to keep commuting. Oh and the thing has like a 3 year value estimator and it projected the house out to like 500+. That's frankly insane.

Well like all bubbles it's gonna pop and a lot of people are gonna go crazy so all that really matters is not being left holding the bag. I certainly wouldn't be planning anything three years out or buying at these prices, but if you're in a position to sell goddamn you could make bank. (translated: only the wealthy who could afford to hoard multiple properties are gonna see any benefit)

Tomorrow is the first day of the Illinois vaccination lotteries. I saw a post with the phone number that they would call with and the email they would send from. Then I saw this comment beneath. Honestly, it is the first time I have watched anyone complain about the lottery.

Now, he never got one because “reasons” but that means that he should win the lottery and if not, then he is being discriminated against. The people I do actually feel sorry for are those who, due to real medical conditions, are not able to get the vaccine. Sucks for them but, in the end, they will benefit from more people getting the vaccine.

I think the rule should be if you can draw on a map a straight line between buckingham fountain and main street of the town in question without touching a cornfield, it's a Chicago suburb. Or lacking an actual main street, the geographical centerpoint of the town.

The map is really simple: if you're outside of the Chicago suburbs and your area is poor, it's downstate. Rich? Upstate

Somewhere tiny near Peoria that has some caterpillar execs ?

Senior year at UIUC, so late enough in that most people knew not to say they were from Chicago if they were actually from a burb because like 90% of the students are from Chicagoland, I got in an argument with an idiot racist about whether African American English was “legitimate” English. Part of her defense was that she was from the south side, and my friend from the south side, hoping to diffuse the situation and find common ground, asked which part. Kankakee was the reply. The situation was not diffused.

Southern Illinois schools are taking the ISBE direction of local control depending on number of cases and vaccination rates as to mean the pandemic is over and who gives a poo poo about any precautions. Good times in this hillbilly hell.
