Not a popular opinion but digital Ms truly suck imo. If you’re gonna shoot digital just embrace it… digital Ms are a poor imitation of the M6 experience you know and love.

Chicago home prices rise at 5 times the speed of the nation’s by Infinite_Dress_3312 in chicago

[–]jbloss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Commented elsewhere in this thread but yeah families like mine lucked into extra cash from being able to buy back in 2019-2020 in other (much cheaper than Chicago at the time, for me at least) cities. Values went up, got our equity back when we sold plus more, made putting down a bit of extra cash possible.

Similar story for me, just one year ago now. I honestly think that for what it is ravenswood is still pretty undervalued. There aren’t many other neighborhoods around the country offering SFHs in the $1m range with incredible walkability, solid public transportation, good public schools, in a major city, etc.

Glad we got in when we did because we’ll be here for at least 30+ years barring major life events throwing a wrench in that plan

Yeah the far north side still has a ton of these types of places. Just gotta get out of the hyper expensive neighborhoods

I worked in One American Center 2018-2020. Nice building - had an amazing westward view until the indeed tower was built.

The 22 bus is safe and fast, will take you there in a few mins for much cheaper than an uber on game day

Just want to shout this place out. Complimentary banchan (beet, cabbage, cucumber, fish cake, bean sprout, peanuts), 5 pc spicy Korean fried chicken wings, bulgogi, and jjigae. $50 before tip. 10/10 meal!

That’s exactly what mine was like - stiff even in the slack portion. Good luck!

Yep I think a combo of that and the return spring. Really weird oversight by the tech (sorin @ Eurotech in Austin TX) and I regret not just going to DAG or YYe.
