I grew up in a small town and got tired of living in a box but like the city, so I bought a house in Chicago. I’m still in the city, but now I have a yard, basement, etc. Half a mile to the El and Metra. I bought a lot more house than a single man needs, but the price, condition, location, etc. were “as nice as can reasonably be expected.” Now I just need to figure out what to do with all these extra rooms. |
