“I was paying $6,000 in property taxes on this house I bought for $52,500. Now it’s $6,000 on a hole in the ground.

”I have friends having kids and I always ask ‘How can you afford it?’ I can barely afford a dog and myself. I have friends in Michigan who are managers at Applebee’s, have three kids, a decent-size home, live comfortably and have comparable schools if not better.

“Illinois just sticks it to you every which possible way and then some. How am I supposed to afford to live here?”
