TLDR; taxes are good, actually, and the price you pay to live in society. when people bitch about property taxes, it seems that they're actually bitching about paying to educate children.

5) I need to use the CTA even more to maximize the amount i'm paying in this RPM TIF, lol!

4) the amount paid to the city is also not that much in the grand scheme of things. why do people act like it is?

3) the amount of money that goes to the schools is WILD. i need to start caring about the fate of CPS because...with that high of a percentage of the tax bill, why are (yes, i know, not all) the schools struggling?! invest in our neighborhood schools, dammit!

1) people complain about high cook county taxes and, compared to the bill overall, the amount that goes to the county is a blip.

2) my ROI on the amount that goes to the library is wild. for the cost of one hardcover book, i've probably read like...20 books and also have attended free events!
