Apparently, Chicago thinks I live in a blighted area. I spent the weekend trying to understand Tax Increment Financing (TIF) districts. - ty97 May 2, 12:11 3
- well, your building may not be blighted, but a certain amount of structures within a region could be blighted, as defined by the state TIF statute. - tRuMAN May 2, 12:23 2
  - I have no doubt that the district as defined qualifies* under the state statute definition. - ty97 May 2, 12:27 1
    - ok, it was created 10-12 years ago, TIF distrcits last 20-25 years (depending the state) - tRuMAN May 2, 12:30

  - Because she was snooping and not actually investigating a disputed charge. -- nm - Fuzzy May 2, 12:23 4
    - if they know each other's passwords, she's not snooping. -- nm - loosilu May 2, 12:30
    - So? He's her husband not her room mate or friend. - Epiphany May 2, 12:28 2
      - Oh I agree. I'm just saying that could be why she is hesitating to ask him -- she feels like she's on shaky ground. -- nm - Fuzzy May 2, 12:31 1
        
        I see you are probably right - Epiphany May 2, 12:34
