@Jayson Robinson Private flood insurance is great and most of the policies are broader as John had mentioned - Since there is usually a drastic savings over the NFIP/FEMA or government policy the private flood insurance market is a great solution for most property owners (especially if the property has never had flood waters in it).

When that happens both Chicago and its surrounding environs will pass rent control laws in a heartbeat.As for taxes, not only are property taxes high in Illinois to begin with, but they will only increase as all levels of government pay the piper for ignoring pension obligations for decades.
