I don't know what y'all are talking about. I am buying a big ass SFH that's in Belding school district, a block from a big park, a couple blocks from both a metra and a blue line stop, a couple blocks from the highway, on an extra deep double lot for a hair over $300k... The taxes are only $6500 or so a year.

The problem only exists when people ignore the other vast sections of the city that sit right on the edge of these desirable areas, but don't have a full scale Milwaukee Ave in Logan Square yuppie boom going on. I could probably find you 200 SFH around the city in areas like this in 5 minutes of searching on Redfin.
