Census population estimates 2011-2019

Technology will mitigate this but 2020 may be the last census in which the sun belt gains significantly from the north due to climate change and natural disasters.

This might be the dumbest thing i've read all year.

Time to institute my plan in Illinois.

Pritzker is intituting the legal marijuana but I doubt he will institute my other plan.

Abolish all property taxes in the state of Illinois and all sales taxes in opportunity zones in Cook County and parts of downstate.

Edit: Also  I would nuke all public sector unions.

That should solve most of the mess in the state is causing people to leave.

The IL sales taxes are pretty much only assessed on purchases of physical items that disproportionately affect lower income groups. The state could earn 2 G$ or more by including services that are primarily used by upper income groups.

We should get together and make a budget plan for Illinois that is fair!

You can't have high taxes and bad weather and keep people around in 21st century America.

On the other hand you can argue that Chicago has picture perfect from May - October. The reverse of Phoenix essentially.  Also there are no natural disasters that could destroy Chicago unlike many of these sun belt cities.

But the extremely harsh winters is literally the reason I never made the jump to move to Chicago.

IL, NY, it is sad.

Illinois won't be trending Republican because a lot of Republican voters are moving to AZ, FL, NC, NM.

Somewhat mitigated by a loss of black population but overall the state is shrinking and becoming more Democratic at the same time.
