I lived in the heart of Chicago for 25 years. born & raised there. my brother is a high member of the teamsters. in union towns you have to make great money just to afford the basics. I have done better moving south & started a 9 to 5 at just above min wage at the time, than trying to keep up with the beaurocracy in Chicago. some folks there actually brag about how much taxe's & other fee's they pay. weird.
