And the cars are far more enjoyable and engaging.

I just read a "10 most..." click-bait-y article on which states people are moving out of in the highest numbers. Illinois is at the top of the list, unfortunately for you. Both my GF's sons live in Chicago and the prices of housing seem reasonable for a city so large, but I have no idea what the trend has been. The city of Chicago and the State are a perpetual economic cluster-fuck, I know that much. I'm going to resist climbing on my soapbox about what party has run both since forever.
