Not a meme or anything, so I'm not quite sure where else to post this. It's been floating around since early this year, and I thought it was interesting to see and speculate about why certain states are so high/low right now.
If I could find the source of the data, I would've posted it to /c/dataisbeautiful, but without it I'd rather share it somewhere more casual.
Illinois: what you don't pay for in house, you will pay for in property taxes (avg. $5K/yr), got stupid people ((Prickster)) putting unnecessary firearms restrictions into law, all kinds of other bullshit taxes & fees, and you will generally pay in suffering for living in IL in general. There are cooler & cheaper places to live, and the numbers bear it out. Ten years in a row of population decline, and we fucking deserve it. We lost "only" 32.8K residents last year. Do not recommend.
Haha, just saw "The Lincoln Poll....found 51% of Illinois residents would leave the state if given the opportunity." ๐๐๐ Man, so sad & also so, so true.
Edit: found Chicago resident(s).
