Key word "lived" - did you ever live in Chicago ?

Maybe you should go back and read your post again, chief. You said, "those rates are normal for most people in FL". The problem is most people in Florida live in the more expensive areas you mentioned.

How do you know most people there could care less about swimming with manatees? Did you or someone else take a poll? Since there is no salt water, nobody there needs to worry about that bacteria.

But, did you know:

An anticipated increased incidence of climate-related extreme rainfall events in the Great Lakes region may raise the public health risk for the 40 million people who depend on the lakes for their drinking water, according to a study.

In a report published Oct. 7, 2008 in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, a team of Wisconsin researchers reports that a trend toward extreme weather such as the monsoon-like rainfall events that occurred in many parts of the region this Spring 2008 is likely to aggravate the risk for outbreaks of waterborne disease in the Great Lakes region.

Just a common sense guess, but thanks for the report from 2008.

Nope, but I spent a ton of time there in the 80s and have quite a few friends from the area. Some of them
still live there and I get up there from time to time. Always have a great time ...

But what is the relevance to your post then? The OP wants to compare Chicago to Tampa not Chicago to the boonies.

How can a reader compare your rates to those in a "city" if you don't provide details?

I told you what it costs me. Everything costs more in and around a large city.

I will say that Chicago is fairly inexpensive for such a large city. It's not Spring Hill cheap but it's much more affordable than NYC, D.C., Boston, San Fransico, etc.
