And who would want to retire in Chicago unless you had to live near your kids or something. I doubt anyone who is NOT from Chicago would retire there. Most retirees want warm weather and low taxes.

I have lived in the Chicago area for 38 years; I have never heard of anyone retiring to Chicago from somewhere else unless it was to be closer to their children or another relative. And this is one pre-retiree who wants warmer weather and lower taxes. That's not happening in Chicago. I have considered the Phoenix area, but I don't know if I could deal with Arizona summers. Some of these "best retirement locations lists" are less than believable.
