property taxes are already very high. they are going to get much higher because there is a massive pension shortfall and some of that money is due in 2020. after November 2018 the dems now have a supermajority in the statehouse and every executive office in the state, including a governor who is going to raise taxes even more. every last dollar in new taxes will go almost exclusively to pension funds for state employees and teachers. 100,000 state employees earn $100,000 or more in salary or pension (some far more).

state income taxes are also going to be raised from a flat 5% to a progressive income tax. during the recent governors race the winner, a fat tax-dodging billionaire*, refused to say what the tax brackets would be, but rest assured that they will begin at 5% and top out at who knows where.

the fact that there is actually a lot of money in chicago, but that its all earmarked for ridiculous pensions, all weigh on whether to purchase.

*Governor JB Pritzker's wife and their employee was found by the county's tax office to have engaged in a "scheme to defraud" the tax office by making one of their several homes 'uninhabitable' at the time it was assessed. they did this by removing all the toilets in the house. after they got a low assessment, they put the toilets back in. all of this was revealed during the election. none of it mattered.

Living standards peaking in classical Greece in 4th century BC plus what you just mentioned seems to suggest proximity to the ocean increases economic growth because you lower transactions costs since shipping by boat is cheap.

Ocean water also acts as a climate moderator: the center of Australia is much hotter than 10 miles inland. This used to be important for agriculture but now it's just a QOL thing.
