Let's talk about the Chicago economy

[Sam Stout]

Hey!  I'd love to discuss the Chicago economy, and how it is going to effect the real estate market.  I believe we are in a period of slow national growth for the next couple years, but that doesn't mean certain areas can't thrive.  What do you think home ownership rates and population rates/decline are going to be?  Are people going to stay in Chicago?  Raise families there?  What's your opinion?!?
