property taxes are double what i pay just across the border in chi.
the u owns half the town, including office buildings, student housing, and a huge lakefront campus.
they pay no property taxes and get free water.

they also charge for beach access up there, when the whole chicago lakefront is free. most vicious parking enforcement ever, too. nickeled and dimed.
