Illinois loses 1 person every 4 minutes

[@karlkeortge7370]

Down with Pritzker! Southern Illinois for itself!

[@nuancedliars112]

Moved from shitcago to Indianapolis. No regrets.

[@moonlightreveries1459]

Really? I’m happy for you. I’m looking into Florida, Michigan seems cool I’m just so tired of the cold…. Indianapolis seems cool but the state as a whole, is entirely too strict on cannabis. Don’t want to live somewhere like that. I have a medical cannabis card, don’t want to lose it. Anyway good luck!

[@nuancedliars112]

@@moonlightreveries1459 Michigan would suck. Pretty sad to see marijuana smoked so often by the black community. Keeping people lazy at home without jobs. At the very least not as productive as they would be otherwise. Using the excuse of being creative. Using the excuse of the only way to ease the mind. Yet in reality it is just another setback for them. High usage

[@kiprana6565]

I was going to move to Indy but I decided I would move to Milwaukee instead lol.

[@nuancedliars112]

@@kiprana6565 one is colder in attitude as well haha. Good luck though!

[@kcmap22]

Mexico here.. 🙂

[@jasonbuchanan5064]

Illinois needs to file BK to reset the corruption along with Term Limits for all of its career politicians.

[@lukesmith3283]

Leftist politics, laws, taxes and agendas would be my guess.

[@waitingforrealitytosetin4807]

Taxes, overpromised pensions and Democrats, who would have known? How long until Illinois private sector taxpayers vote for change? Amazing voter stupidity.

[@ttarantulas4u258]

They cheat on every level. Gave out visa cards to disabled to vote blue. It's vast and long standing corruption.

[@squirreljester2]

Actually Illinois voted republican for decades before it shifted to Democratic, but even after that shift, nothing changed in government decisions when it came to pensions, the budget, and out of control spending.

[@matthewm9261]

Jim Edgar screwed illinois

[@squirreljester2]

@@matthewm9261 There's been a long line of people in power that have screwed Illinois.

[@doylecook973]

​@@matthewm9261Jim Edger had a budget surplus when he left office. The democrats has ruined Illinois along with cheating in elections. And as far as pentions the democrats stole the money that funded the pentions and spent it by putting that money into the general fund.

[@machine1600]

Get rid of the drugs , gangs, and crooked politicians who really want chicago destruction..

[@jurgo_01]

Are they deliberately driving people out?

[@TammyVance50]

❤

[@jmsdeco]

get rid of public unions, mail in voting ,government pensions, democrats, IL public education, insane taxes. Everyone I know is leaving IL. I'll be leaving soon as well.

[@francpez7564]

Get rid of unions, really? I bet I make more than you.

[@1FastKawboy]

If it was not for family, I would be gone! But at what point will that not even keep me here?.....

[@Fucknuts4u]

Family and friends kept me there and then one day, I decided they could come visit me when I move somewhere else and I moved to AZ. It's been 15 years, I made new friends where I am now, and I've set the tone for other family members to move here. How anybody can survive in Illinois is beyond me.

[@Literallyarealhuman]

No more for me. My family can follow me if they have the good sense.

[@michaelpiwcewicz1412]

IL SH7T HOLE

[@markmarkofkane8167]

Because: High taxes Infringements on freedom. Restrictions Woke policies. Feel free to add your own reasons.

[@kylebrynelsen9123]

Corruption and bad schools as well

[@outlawblack123]

Cook County is still growing, the rural state is shrinking and city of Chicago was effected by pandemic and work from home.

[@kcmap22]

I HATE it here, moving to Mexico in 4 years... Remote work, cheap everything and food without poison in it. Shit, I should start a gofund me account.. 😅🤣

[@brendacather5648]

I am moving out asap. This state is awful! You cannot survive here and the new laws are awful!! I work full time decent job I have raised a family here it was very hard but when I move they will probably follow. They all work full time too. We pay high taxes!! We will take ourselves else where and work. Chicago and the Illinois government can kiss my!!! If they divided the south from the north I would stay but that won’t happen. Bye bye

[@ghost307]

My property tax bill where I moved to is about the same as it was in Illinois. However, in Illinois I had a 40-foot-wide lot on a busy street, whereas now I have 2 acres on a lake.

[@preapple]

Everyone should be leaving IL, NY and CA and move to TX, FL, TN, GA and the Carolinas.

[@chosen3258]

What about roaches

[@caymuscairns6845]

GDP per capita: Illinois is 12th: $90,449, closest neighbor Iowa 24th: $79,631 Median household income: Illinois 16th: $87,820, closest neighbor Iowa 25th: $80,860. You're more likely to make over $10k more a year living in Illinois than: Michigan, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky. Illinois income tax, and sales taxes are comparable to other states. Illinois has the 8th cheapest water and 4th cheapest electric bills in the nation. It's mainly property taxes that need to be addressed. Solving the pension crisis, and lowering that burden would help Illinois out a lot. But many other metrics are very healthy in Illinois.

[@MrGruver1]

I’ve not heard it proposed at any time to make state pensions just like private sector pensions. State contributes a % while the employees are responsible for the majority. That can’t be retroactive of course but to start at the soonest opportunity would help a lot.

[@rayrubioshow]

We are on our to become the next Detroit.

[@Donald0828]

Same with NY

[@sammyspyridoulias9565]

Very curious why homes in Naperville sell very quickly if everyone is leaving IL?

[@crazyelf1]

It's a state wide average. So there are individual areas doing well, but the state as a whole is in decline because there are other areas doing even worse that are dragging down the average.

[@Him_Hefner]

I just sold my house in Naperville & moved to Frisco TX, trust me, it's a LOT of vacant homes in Naperville.

[@AngelaDear-yq9cw]

More Fair Politics. Transparancy, job Creation . Trust. Less indulgence on the fluff on conspiracy. the list is so wide. Ask Jane Bryne from her sofa she would tell you how to connect to people and get to the cruxt of things

[@musicsansnotes]

Government employees already make decent money. They don't need huge lending plans. Teachers need to get larger pensions.

[@dancarlton7973]

Unions and no right-to-work laws likely also.

[@DotheImpossible-n5t]

Its invasive, expensive, abusive, disrespectful, bureaucratic, and unsafe.

[@calmdown9105]

It is really though?
