Is it that bad in Hobart? Looks like the voting map is half blue half pinkish-red.
Ugh.
We're looking at a couple properties in Hobart. 5-8 acres surrounded by woods. Seems pretty cool, but there are a large number of subdivisions in the area, I'm curious how crowded it'll be in ten years...
Thanks for the info! That's pretty wild, your commute is long but if you get back by 3pm (?) that's pretty good.
How is that train service? Is that the Metra South Shore?
I currently work in the south suburbs and half the job is work-from-home. I am willing to drive ~1 hour. I am looking for...
Definitely conservative. From the south side of Chicago, which is/was pretty blue collar. Lots of Trump voters and trade union guys and big families here, but everyone historically voted Democrat all their lives and now we're all paying for it.
It's unfortunate. If you live in a good, decent...
"We have a saying here at camp: The hardest thing to do is get your wife to come to Sun Aura. The second hardest is to get her to leave! I’m not a nudist, but I am in the lifestyle. Is Sun Aura a good fit for me? We welcome lifestyle visitors! While we are not a lifestyle club many of our...
That's wild. But now that you mention it we passed on a property in Cedar Lake months ago because they were bulldozing for a gigantic subdivision right behind it. It was the "Hanover House" hotel, actually. It was within our price range and we were almost crazy enough to consider it.
No...
These little meddling safety/CYA laws in rural areas are blowing me away.
I looked at one distant property which was subject to very specific pool fencing laws. If a toddler could even traverse all that land and cross the trucking roads alone in the sun and get to my pool.... that's a...
Portage code enforcement office definitely says it's within city limits.
If I get more curious I may call Porter County and see if they agree, lol.
Wait, Hobart? Or Portage? I would have guessed Hobart was more rural and sane. That's unfortunate if Hobart is what you mean.
Democrats. I can't...
Hey guys. I had a quick question for Indiana / Porter County folk and thought this might be a decent place to ask. We're looking to move out of Illinois (already posted my intro post, thanks for the great suggestions in that one!)
How do you guys like Portage?
Portage kinda looks like it...
Current Chicago resident, but in process of selling. We fled during the peaceful protests. Police openly informed the public that they couldn't respond to 911. They were setting up police barricades on major roads here. I debated trying to work with neighbors to block our roads and hang out with...
I'm new to guns, so take my input with a grain of salt - my 10.5" has a Romeo 5 but I just have trouble working with it. I have bad eyes and a slight astigmatism though. And the gun has a military style front sight post. I find that myself and other shooters instinctively attempt to line up the...
They usually get routed to facilities and their healthcare needs are met. I've worked with border area doctors who talk about women in labor getting caught by CBP on purpose so they can give birth at an American hospital (which confers birthright citizenship for the child and grants the family...
So we're almost one month out from Biden announcing a vaccine mandate on the entire nation...so uh, what's the status?
OSHA hasn't actually issued the rule.
When they issue it, it will have a start date before it goes in effect.
Then it has to survive legal challenges from multiple states...
I've noticed this too. The media isn't directing the viewer's anger at Trump anymore, they're directing it at his 'voters'... which is all of you, whether you voted for him or not.
Let's say you got the vaccine yourself but you're on the fence about a mandate on other people ... to the media...
