Is Chicago, Illinois Cheap or Expensive? Here’s the Answer.

If you’re mulling over a move to this bustling metropolis and scanning the “real estate for sale in Chicago, Illinois”, you’re likely curious: Is Chicago cheap or expensive?

Housing Costs in Chicago

When it comes to the housing market, the prices are as diverse as the city itself. A general consensus shows moderate costs compared to coastal cities.

Chicago’s Real Estate Market

From luxury condos downtown to single-family houses in the suburbs, Chicago has a range of accommodation styles. Naturally, the cost varies depending on the type and location.

Luxury Living in Chicago

If you opt for the high-end spectrum of “new properties for sale in the Chicagoland area and surrounding suburbs,” prices can reach into the millions.

Middle-of-the-pack Living

For more modest budgets, homes outside the hub can be attractively priced, providing excellent value in terms of space and amenities.

Cost of Living Index

Considering other living costs, Chicago’s index stands at 106.9, slightly above the U.S. average of 100. While some areas could be expensive, others are surprisingly affordable.

Food and Leisure Prices

Dining out in Chicago can be both a bargain and a splurge. Street food is wallet-friendly, whereas fine dining experiences can be quite steep.

Transportation Costs in Chicago

Getting around Chicago with public transit systems is reasonable. Meanwhile, parking and gas prices can significantly increase the commuting costs for car owners.

Verdict: Cheap or Expensive?

As seen, it completely depends on your lifestyle and where you choose to live and dine. By researching and budgeting, it’s possible to find cost-effective solutions.

Find Your Preferred Lifestyle

The housing options align with a wide range of budgets, whether you’re browsing budget-friendly homes or looking for extravagant properties for sale in the Chicagoland area and surrounding suburbs.

Can't believe they named the character with the most daddy issues Issac, like the boy who just wanted to be helpful and was let down or abandoned by literally everyone down to his disappearance from the show being left alone in France with nothing paralelled with the biblical story of an obedient son being brought up to the mountains to be slaughtered amongst the rest of the sheep without a second thought from his father

with yet another astonishingly good episode, overtake! slides into first and takes my anime of the season vote from frieren

it is just that good

ep9 spoilers under the cut

we finally get kouya's full backstory with this episode, and i gotta say i absolutely loved it. i'm glad they didn't pull their punches and push the publication of that photograph off on someone else

it would've been easy to say in the aftermath of the tragedy, kouya was a wreck and someone else got their hands on his data and published the photo without his consent. while that would have washed kouya's hands of the decision, it would have diminished the power of his story so much imo

he's the one who chose to publish it, and he's clear on his reasons. that makes it all so much more impactful to me (might write about this more later when i have a more stable internet connection)

the short of it is i'm blown away by how they handled his backstory, not at all disappointed

absolutely loved haruka in this episode too, he may only be a child and has some childish/overly simplistic ways of thinking, but when he realizes that he shows the drive (no pun intended) to really learn and grow

when he realizes he doesn't understand kouya as much as he thought or as much as he would like, he doesn't just despair and angst about that. he straightforwardly makes it clear that he wants to know more

and that development is the most beautifully composed thing to me in this episode

while kouya is talking about his past, we get these shots

even as he starts to share, there's this literal physical distance between him and haruka. it was especially crushing in that first screenshot where haruka reaches out to him and doesn't reach him

then, finally, we get this once haruka knows everything and understands

connected :')

i have SO much more i could say about this episode tbh, but will wait until i can type at a laptop again. overtake! again makes me feel like i want to start actually thinking about media again, not just mindlessly consuming lol

honestly just tl;dr gorgeous episode gorgeous story new anime of the season

Murad Rashid would make Robert watch Cricket for six hours though, if Tahir ever committed of the mortifying ordeal of bringing his partner home. And Murad is actually the cheery one of the two parents (Tahir is so much like his mother Nur) that it would actually be a great bonding experience. Also means that Tahir has now been afflicted with the curse of MORE sport in his life.

when trying to motivate your contrarian bastard of a brain to do something that’s theoretically easy but you know you’re going to struggle with putting in the effort, i cannot recommend strongly enough finding a thoroughly average 12- or 13-year-old who managed to do it. and then just. not letting them beat you.

You could get boneless, skinless chick breasts (don’t judge me) for $1.99 per pound until like…2021. Now it’s a good deal at $5.00 a pound or less.

A box of cereal is over $7????

I go to the grocery store and buy 3 bags of groceries with like 80% of the stuff half off on buy-one-get-one and it’s still over $70.

I have a very good salary (per tumblr standards), and that’s still almost half my monthly grocery budget…

It is ridiculous how much grocery prices have increased
