If Illinois lost Chicago they would become the next Iowa

Legit have had people asked if i lived in the state of Chicago and they thought illinois was just a city

@zachperkins688 3 года назад

"The largest city in Illinois without Chicago would be Rockford" That's the saddest thing I've heard all week.

Then Illinois will turn to red state

I grew up downstate, now live in Chicago, and I hear a lot of half-cocked, ridiculous opinions of Chicago becoming its own state. I will now be sharing this as I've said the same thing to those people several times. Make sure downstate republicans, and Springfield businessmen who think IL is a bad place to do business, see this video and maybe gain some perspective.

Wisconsin would never give up Kenosha County.

I know a couple ex-Chicagoans who moved across the border to Indiana in the last few years who would be very upset to suddenly find themselves living under the umbrella of Chicago taxes and policies again.

I think it would be more realistic for Chicagoland to only be made up of Illinois counties. I don’t think the bordering states would like being incorporated into it at all.

"the capital of the state would most likely be Chicago"

MN, SD, ND, IA, and WI have a deal where students can attend state schools in the other states at in state tuition- I imagine Illinois and Chicago would have many similar deals

Instead of proposing that cities should become states.

Thanks for doing this video. I’ve heard a lot of people jokingly say it should be done, but it really is mind blowing to think about all the many details that would need to be worked out.

As an Ex- Hammond resident I can tell you we would be on board.

ive lived in illinois for a long long time. I was born in valparaiso indiana. where I grew up south of chicago illinois. we kinda moved back and forth. I lived in peoria illinois for a few years and we ended up moving back to chicago again after my mother had started dating someone. I guess if chicago were to become a state that would feel very weird to me. ecspecially since I love my state illinois, sure it can be empty sometimes but its a very nice state in my opinion.
