All of the people I talked to were talking about the existing plan, not the proposed plan. This goes back to most of my friends all in Chicago too before and after I moved. This goes to taxation and even not knowing how bad COL is in comparable cities. Plain and simple - ignorant. I see it all the time - people just think whatever it is, they have it the worst, and are ignorant to how various things are elsewhere.

Also, I never stated once my opinion about whether raising taxes is good or bad here. This has absolutely zero to do with my point. My point is that grass is always greener on the other side and that too many people in Chicago are are just flat out ignorant about how their income tax rates compare to other walkable urban centers of the country.

I'm not here to discuss whatever straw man you constructed for only my post because my post literally had nothing to do with whether the new proposed hike is good or bad.
