3 is minimum especially in snowy climates. You need space for your jetskis, four wheelers, snowmobiles etc. We have a 3 car and it already feels tight. You don’t want to leave your cars out in the winter.

the interior is probably modern and cost a lot but no moron would build a 3k one-story 2mm dollar house nowadays.

Illinois suburbs like Winnetka and Wilmette are worth the price tag. Excellent public schools, safe neighborhoods, extremely close and warm communities in walkable healthy areas, close to major metro. You can get a massive house near the lake for less than $2M

cr. but he's totally right above that there is no way out from the state budget problems other than eventually trying to increases taxes on wealthy homeowners, and lead to capital fleeing
