Yep. Typical post for you.
 
Trolling/baiting are we?
Nope. Honestly happy you don’t have to torture yourself with IL issues anymore, since you seemed to just hate it.

It’s gettting old having all these GOPer/downstate types whine about corruption, just to replace it with THEIR kind of corruption later.
 
As much as Illinois sucks. It has something most states don't have and that is the natural history museum, art institute, and many food options that are not mcdonalds or taco bell.

Last time wife and I visited IL in 2015, we saw HELP WANTED signs literally by the dozens.
You couldn't turn a corner without seeing a factory with HELP WANTED signs.
I call that a good thing.

This isn't well-known, but Chicago is a port city. And the surrounding counties within the state all use the port to export their goods throughout the world. IL has problems, but it still is thriving in its own way.

Times are changing. Corporations are pulling out of Illinois.

Boeing
Caterpillar
Citadel
Banana Republic just announced they're closing their Chicago store from the Magnificent Mile when their lease expires
Tyson Foods is closing their Chicago office

Yes, times are changing. IL is focusing on 'smart' manufacturing. Obviously, Tyson Foods has nothing to do with smart. Boeing was never fully invested in the state, so they will move to where the real money is for them. Caterpillar is a lost to IL for obvious reasons. Citadel? Not so much. Not too many people willingly live in Florida. It's a cesspool state.

Illinois is losing population, while Florida is gaining.

The remark that not too many people willingly live in Florida seems rather odd.

The elderly living in Florida because they can't stand cold weather and high taxes. Also, most working class people can't afford to live in Illinois-sad, i am being honest. IL needs to become much more affordable. But, like I said, look at demographics. IL has younger people than Florida.

That seems an argument that some people are financially trapped in Illinois. I believe that has some truth to it, and it likely applies to some Florida residents as well.

But it doesn't mean the majority of people living in Florida aren't living there willingly.

I am trapped in Illinois, a lot of people I know are trapped here. But again, our jobs wouldn't pay as much as in Florida or Iowa. As much as people in Iowa talk down to Illinois, they still come here for most of their vacation breaks. But each their own.

Seems when you claimed very few live willingly in Florida, you may have been projecting a tad.
 
One would hope so. For 395k I could get 8 acres and a 2000sq foot home in Florida! Can't be possible anywhere in IL.

Check one of the real estate compilation sites. You may be surprised.
