Apples and oranges. Your tax bill at "the old homestead in DuPage County Illinois" probably didn't have an amenity fee that supported 80+ rec center, 120+ pools, 45 exec golf courses, community watch passing by your "old homestead" 3x/day and flowers in RBs and entrances changed out quarterly, nor did your local businesses support live music in 4 different venues 365 days/year.
So please subtract about $2400/year from that 7K false equivalency. And for the coup de gras---this is NOT Illinois.
