Millennials leaving Chicago in droves

[BeeCityRoller]

Illinoisans will see state gas tax double starting July 1

They're raising the gas tax 18 cents a gallon and the annual vehicle registration $50; as if the tollroads weren't hurting people from the outer suburbs enough

Did they really tho? Could you really make such a claim, if your ancestors were brought over as an enslaved people to perform field work where the White man tells you what to do, how to do it, and when to do it?

Is it so, if the forced unskilled labour was utilized under a not-so fruitful economic system derived/established by non-Blacks and the country’s architects/movers & shakers are overwhelmingly WASP?

Don’t get me wrong, non-Whites such as Blacks, Chinese (railroads), Amerindians, etc., have contributed in various ways to the development of the USA. It’s just that it was brought about by White impetus and overseen by White supervision.

Non-White industriousness is also somewhat minuscule when compared to the production of European immigrants such as the Irish and the Germans.

Participated in the progression of America to an extent, yes, but “built this nation” is a stretch as a lot of the nation building took place while most African-Americans were confined to the economically dysfunctional South as cotton-pickers.

You sound dumb af. In fact, you are dumb af.

Has the rent gone up because of industry or because across the nation, the demand for city living has increased across the board, but because Atlanta proper is so small, that there are only so many available units?

Nashville isn’t a FIRE city but the growth in rent has outpaced every major city including San Fran because the demand to get into Nashville, which has become quite trendy, has outpaced what they have available. They have over 2 year waitlist. My siblings and I own property near Meharry and Fisk and it’s quite unbelievable how fast property values around the city have appreciated over the past 5 years.

You can say both.

Lots of corporations are spreading out to other locations such as Amazon opening up its second headquarters in Virginia. Virginia has already seen growth in cost.

Median home price in Arlington jumps more than $100K since Amazon HQ2 news: report

By 2050 it’s reported that 68% of people will be living in urban environments. This is not only true for America but also for most countries in the world including Africa.

Hell nah

It's already 97 and humid down in Texas...and the heat down there won't let up until September

I love DFW, but yeah once it gets hot...it stays hot. June and July are cool because of the broads in summer dresses/short skirts plus the chance to get some vitamin D from the sun. Early summer is hot but it's still EARLY.

August is straight boo-boo

September is

The cost of living gripes in the video though

shyts deceiving. Many of these kats just moving to the suburbs because the housing costs are so high.

It really balances out though. What you not paying in housing cost in the burbs, you’ll be making up in taxes. Chicago is high housing cost, low taxes. Suburbs could have more affordable options but higher taxes.

What corporations in Atlanta causing a significant movement in property values? Coca Cola? Besides Delta, Home Depot, and UPS everything else are noname companies most have not even heard of.

I can see if a major IB or Tech Company moves in infusing the area with a high tax base but that doesn’t seem to be the case. I could be wrong though.

I’ll be honest I never studied the corporations moving down there but I know it’s an emerging city so there has to be some improvement in sectors there.

They also have a lot of film roles for actors.

Looks like I’m going to have to take a trip to the Atlanta forum on city data

My mom's told me to vote J.B. Pritzker because he's Democrat. Not sure if this is on him, but I wouldn't be surprised if so.

These politicians need to be thrown out Fresh Prince, no, Spartan Kick style

 

[wastedmermaid]

Yup I've got family in Brooklyn no doubt.

I'm working Cybersecurity with the attention to switch over to DevOps and I've had recruiters contacting for roles that pay up to $150k/yr in NYC, and there are positions roles getting paid almost double that .

I figured for now I'll just wait it out here and keep filling my bag. Then see how I wanna move.

Damn 150k... how’d you get into that field?

 

[DropTopDoc]

shyt i came back in 14 after chiropractic school, in October of 17 I moved to Nola, best decision i made, cost of living cheaper, good food good women, it get hotter than a fat man in a phone booth. Everything just kept getting more expensive and unnecessary, parking, traffic cameras, taxes, colder weather, more violence, car registration, fukk all that, you nikkas can have that I’m so glad to be gone, and moms talking about moving to Florida too so I’m good

 

[Sinnerman]

Texas is cool, but I miss the Windy City

[#1 pick]

Job market.

Relocating to California, government employment.

I looked at Chicago as an option when I met my girlfriend aka current wife.

Not hardly any IT jobs.
Very whiteist hiring practices
Not welcoming to educated races of people non white
Stronger good ole boy system than any other big city I see
Felt like the sticks for Black folks. Just very depressing

I stayed in overpriced DC. I wanted to go back to Atlanta but Houston wanted a nikka
