If you even think of moving to gold coast (which by the way forbes listed as more expensive then beverly hills in 2006) or a couple other downtown areas near the magnificant mile your looking at an easy 7 figures.....

The suburbs are cheap compared to chicago. The realestate rule for the burbs is " for half as much you get twice as much" I live here and I dont know what your talking about but chicago is just stupid expensive!!!! how bout 900/month rent on a 450sq ft studio apaartment that is 30 minutes OUTSIDE of downtown. Also our public transportation and parking costs in some areas surpassed NY as of budget changes in 2007. Chicago sucks for taxes cook county has taxes on everything, including a new 10cent tax on EVERY water bottle you purchase!!!

Jenkem, Toad smoking, etc. And on top of that, there are even SUICIDE WEBSITES that specifically give you instructions on HOW TO kill yourself and the success rate.

Seriously, if it were me, and I was the president I would COMPLETELY take the internet down (except for important **** like banking, and companies that are already registered, etc etc) and COMPLETELY restructure the internet with EXTREMELY high security regulations.

If you want to go to WebMD and search about an illness, fine. If you want to go to **** sites and search ****, fine. But if you want to specifically search Anarchies Cookbook or info about an SKS Semi-Automatic gun you should be required to identify WHO you are and at that point your information is then processed and you are either (A) granted access or (B) NOT.

Absolutely, but that should be figured by a per capita basis that use those public services. It's already done, that's would a census is for... if you live in a certain area that has a VERY high population and requires a much higher amount of public service employees then thats fine... pay 1 tax and then that's it.
