Suburbs of Chicago (Score -1)

I have lived in the same house my entire life. When I was born the area code was 312 along with Chicago, then it changed to 708, then to 847, and then they made it necessary to dial the area code a little while ago. Ameritech (now SBC, Illinois Bell a long time ago) reserves a lot of numbers due to people's stupidity, i.e. 1-312-312-1234 and businesses hold up way more than they need, which causes protests by watchdog groups around here whenever they start talking about changing things again.
