Since the 2008 economic meltdown, property values dropped throughout the country.

It is unfortunately a buyers market for a certain group of people. The landlords who do not mind renting to drug dealers or people who destruct their property. The landlords whom collect from the State of IL (taxpayer money) the rent money. The landlords eventually walk away from the property when it is in shambles and beyond resale value. The city is stuck with tearing it down or it sits empty. This ruins neighborhoods and the property value. I drove around town the other evening. I was so saddened to see the number of homes boarded up and empty. I also saw many homes with rent signs. Who in their right mind would want to relocate a family to Streator? In ten years where will it be? The State of IL is so in debt to the pension obligation. I cannot continue to have my real estate taxes raised with little benefits. I have many friends in Streator but question as retirement approaches the ability to stay in Illinois financially.

Greek, you dammed well know who I am and where I work.
Stop by for a free cup of coffee and we can discuss this issue in great detail. Heck, I will even lay the numbers on you since you are such a good and wise businessman.
If you ain't got enough stones to do that, then you can't prove you have skin in the game.

Why would a business not want to stay or locate in Illinois? We have the second largest unemployment rate to choose a worker from. They may not be able to drive without a cell phone or hands free device stuck in their ear, but what the Hades. The schools must teach manual dexterity, as these youngsters, sure can text. Give these educators another raise, for an accomplishment, so worthy.

Every time you post up, you show yourself to be a bigger and bigger fraud. Either stop by for a cup of Joe, or quit trying to puff your chest out, you ain't got enough a$$ to carry it off.

Sniper, No, I don't have to meet your criteria or prove anything to you. Come on Sniper, if you want to "Out Me" put some skin in the game. You're the "hot shot" with the "stones" right? Put on the "skates" Sniper. It pains me though to watch you fail. g

All mouth, no a$$.
And NO, I am not going to post a $ 250,000 dollar wager at your Lawyers office, nor do I really give a rip who you are.
I do extend the simple cup of coffee and engaging verbal sparring as 2 fellow human beings though.
