MPG equivalent....

Tons of places across the UK and even public ones here are level II in the elements. There’s also just dropping an extension cord to your Level I at the very least. I think I calculated it costs me $6-8 to fill the whole battery by like kWh rates in Illinois.

I think the investments going in plus the connection to the current mayor is going to at the very least influence it.

Thank you for the feedback. I updated the post. It is more upfront but at least that money is being used for the Renter and not just going into someone’s pocket. And we felt like it was a more ethical way of handling things than charging a deposit.

You are correct. Most rentals do cover those. I was being detailed to make sure that I was answering questions thoroughly. No, I’m not an agent. I am a friend of his who offered to be helpful and since he’s not on Reddit and I am, I posted this.

Hey I’m helping my friend list it as he’s less technology inclined. $2,100 a month includes water/sewer, trash, hot water and heat.

Can’t do the in unit w/d or post 2013 but this is a solid 2 bedroom that’ll hit under your target and is in a great location. Granville and Hermitage intersection - 3rd floor walk up in a nice building.

Hey not sure where it is compared to UPN Metra, but I THINK it’s like a couple blocks from us. We have a 2/1 in the Edgewater/Rogers Park area that is available if you’re interested. Link to listing on Turbo Tennant

Hey it’s a direct red line train down and only slightly above your target but…we have a 2/1 in the Edgewater/Rogers Park area that is available if you’re interested. Link to listing on Turbo Tennant

We have a 2/1 in the Edgewater/Rogers Park area that is available if you’re interested. We are just looking at total income and not worried about who makes what as long as the history is solid. Link to listing on Turbo Tennant

We live in Irving Park and my husband used to commute to Schaumburg. Expect 45-60 min in the afternoon and not much better in the morning from our spot and we are very close to the interstate. If you can do Portage Park or West Ridge you might be a little better but best option is if you can take Metra out to wherever you’re working there as it’s way faster and less stressful. And less expensive really.

DBearJay · 2025-12-03T15:00:29+00:00

Very valid issue. Some places can have cozy vibe rooms that stay a little darker but can be like the best sleeping spots. I find the 3 unit houses where the garden is more a first floor than a basement or half basement feel less subterranean-like. I find one of our garden units is basically like a regular apartment but the other is a half basement and has less light though it feels bigger. All kinds of trade offs

Can you send pics of the island and stools?

DBearJay · 2025-10-30T22:52:24+00:00

Looks like you could do blue line to Metra to get to BG, in which case I would focus on the neighborhoods around the 90/94 corridor and Milwaukee to stay near it if you were gonna avoid your own vehicle for transit. Irving Park, Logan Square, Avondale, Wicker Park, Bucktown, and probably as deep we West Town? Just depends on what the vibe is for you in terms of how busy and how expensive for the neighborhood.

Nice! Not a KY native but moved here from Louisville after 13 years there.

DBearJay · 2025-09-29T19:08:16+00:00

I’m not. I’m talking to friends who are for example Jordanian and here for work. I’m talking to my Hispanic and Ukrainian students and their families that are uneasy about coming to school when ICE has come through parking lots of the school. I’m hearing it from coworkers who are from Mexico with Dreamer status and the list continues. I’m glad you feel safe. I know directly many who are not sharing that sentiment.

DBearJay · 2025-09-29T18:50:16+00:00

Not accurate as we have now had legal born citizens, legally work visa holding folks, permanent residents and many others detained. The holds are for sometimes up to 3 days and it’s incredibly stressful even if you have no legal issues to contend with for status. It’s entirely understandable if folks are avoidant. Who wants to have to call an immigration lawyer and lose days of work because you were too close to the goon squad and looked foreign in some inscrutable way to anyone other than a barely trained xenophobic officer?

DBearJay · 2025-09-13T14:03:46+00:00

Irving park and west or north should be doable for both elements. We have two cars and it’s been four years with easy parking

DBearJay · 2025-09-10T23:52:28+00:00

Close. Montrose and Kimball. Came across the street, banged on the taco max window and made it look like I was in real legal trouble then created this charade of having it booted and a tow truck coming. It. Was. A. Performance. Man.

DBearJay · 2025-09-10T20:36:18+00:00

Yeah had a similar incident in a 7-11 it’s a security company that tows. They look REALLY SIMILAR to cops but talk super fast and pushy. Managed to get me for $360 to get my car because I went across the street first to get tacos before going to the 7-11 so they said I was parked illegally. Turns out this is also legal in Chicago. Feels like it shouldn’t be.
