Living In Chicago Ain’t Worth A Buck
Not to throw some partisan cold water on a lifestyle piece, but I wonder if Obama and the national attention now given to all things political and Chicago (not to mention kids getting clubbed to death in the street) has taken the luster off The Windy City?
The housing market is so bad you can’t even give away homes these days.
Officials in suburban Barrington put three homes up for a sale at just a dollar a piece — a dollar! — and didn’t get a single bidder.
A dollar!
That’s sad.

Barrington was the town next door to where I lived in Illinois. I couldn’t afford to live there then, but it looks like I can now. Except there’s no way I’m ever doing winter again.

Haven’t the regressives learned anything from their inflated real estate market. Will the government continue to subsidize houses costing $200 thousand plus, while allowing homeless people to occasionally visit a “shelter”? I guess some people will continue to hope for change. They will have a long wait as the government continues to extract more wealth from our society and further reduces disposable income.
Remember, if you are ever disposable, then you are always disposable, and soon, you will be superfluous. I think the people of faith and without, better do a reality check and soon. If the redistribution progresses as planned, then many people will be shocked by what remains. There are billions of people in this world that are needier than the so-called oppressed and disadvantaged in this country.
