Ok full disclosure. I am no longer from Chicago. I live in Indiana.

Leaving Illinois 9 years ago was the best choice I made.

Every day during the pandemic I woke up and thanked god that I didn’t live in Illinois!

Arkansas is pretty awesome if you just want government out of your life and like nature! Been there several times and may buy a weekend getaway some day .

Texas is the best state in the union just sold my Dallas house, been down there periodically for 17 years, Am planning to go back at least in the winters more regularly.
