For $2.3b we could build a subway & elevated on the west side from in order to improve connections to jobs that aren’t in the loop & increase frequency on outer branches of the Pink & Orange Lines.

The untold story of those affected by the sudden closing of Foxtrot and Dom’s Kitchen: Dozens of immigrant workers who can’t get unemployment. “We are families, we are not garbage,” they chanted in Spanish in front of the Foxtrot commissary in Pilsen. More to come.

Today, @ChicagosMayor released the Cut the Tape report, which lists “Adopt ‘transformational’ zoning changes that would eliminate minimum parking requirements, streamline special use permits and more.” as one of its top 10 recommendations! 👏 👏

As people go back to the drawing board we have to use the tools already at our disposal to deal with our housing crisis. We need growth. And if it doesn’t happen WITH us, it will happen TO us. Let’s work to not just Bring Chicago Home, but Keep Chicago Home.
Here’s the deal on Bring Chicago Home: Ballot measures are difficult. Ballot measures can often be complicated. And while often we like the idea of Direct Democracy, we haven’t done much of it in Chicago & Illinois and it requires some getting used to.
People seem to forget how we lost the Graduated Income Tax in 2020 and have now lost Bring Chicago Home in 2024. Even with community involvement and going door to door, we are not able to stop the false ads from corporate lobbyists who refuse to share their wealth to help others.
Truth. The biggest lie told was that it was intended to increase property taxes for regular homeowners and that was the lie that stuck and got disseminated. It was hard to unprove.
Mayor Brandon Johnson has an uphill battle to climb after BCH. IMO We as progressives should be rallying for the issue and campaign’s not piling on him.
I voted but the apathetic energy I feel from people is palpable. I’m a regular voter but even I had to motivate myself to go vote. People need to see how their vote will matter and I think it’s harder to articulate nowadays. It’s still one important tool tho.
Last night’s results don’t change the fact that there are thousands of people that are homeless on the streets of Chicago and thousands more to be evicted by the administration. We better get united for real, as a movement, and as a city council that’s been elected to govern.
Arizona is about to legalize fiveplexes on all residential lots in larger cities. 🏘️😄 Meanwhile, huge swaths of Chicago are still zoned for single-family homes. 🏠😢 We must do better.

So many people out in Andersonville crowding those narrow ass sidewalks along Clark St when the area should really be pedestrianized. I see it as a matter of when not if.

A quick shout-out to our friends at @metraBNSF celebrating the first weekend of the new weekend schedule. There’s now an outbound train *every single hour* on the :33 between 10:33am and 12:33am on Saturdays **and Sundays** alongside more and more balanced inbound service too.
@SunnyvaleSBay Yes - this is quite sad, as an Architect who received License in 1964 this magazine used to show quite simple homes, additions and modifications and was well worth purchasing for anyone considering modifying or purchasing a home.
literally the only thing I want from the Chicago Park District website is to tell me for each park whether it has a bathroom and whether that bathroom is currently open
I have thought so many times about what I would change my career to if I left Architecture and I always thought it would be Planning. But GOD DAMN working in the current system is so fucking agonizing. There's so much political work that needs to be done to make projects good.
To anticipate an objection: the post I am retweeting is talking about per capita transit ridership.
Calgary refutes every US stereotype about what a high transit city looks like. It's sprawling. It's culturally associated with cowboys and oil drilling. To help its SUV drivers feel they are in touch with nature, its freeways are called trails. And yet ...
I say this all the time but here is a good reminder. Calgary has incredible transit ridership. More than Chicago, Boston, San Francisco or Washington. We are one of the best transit cities in the US and Canada. Let’s build on that!
My old boss did a lot of stupid things, like, proper mental, but the funniest was when he was on the roof of our shop, and looked like he was about to leap the 6-foot distance to one of the other buildings. I said, "Jim, there's no way you'll make that jump."
"Oh fuck! Oh fucking hell!" I thought, this is it. He's trying to kill me. I die today. He was now stuck in this door. I....could...not....breathe. I look up, and Jim's now hopping on the spot, trying to keep his leg off the broken glass. And every time he hopped, I heard...
"Fuck....fuck....fuck....fuck.." followed by crushing crockery sounds. Jim was fine, he was fine. I promise you. I was not, and this was probably the start of my asthma. Anyway, as Jim was clutching his thigh, trying to extricate himself safely from the window, he...
...found the master keys in his pocket. He'd had them on him the whole time. Best...day...of...my...life. sigh Good times. Jim was a menace. My friend and I used to tell people Jim stories and they wouldn't believe us. One day, we had a weird customer in the shop.
I say customer, but they didn't buy anything. They just stood there, watching. Watching Jim and I as we went about our work. After about half an hour, this guy left. That was weird, I thought. That evening, a friend phoned. He said, "I sent a friend into your place today."
My friend said "I was telling a mate about Jim, what he's like. He didn't believe me, so wanted to see him for himself." That was how Jim, my old boss, was. So weird, so odd, he brought in tourists. Anyway, Jim was fine and the shop owner got a huge insurance payout. Hooray! 🥳
@ThatSeanKeenan GSU’s semester just ended and there is a larger portion of the student body that are commuters, probably harder to mobilize with not a lot of students near the downtown area
@ThatSeanKeenan My observations: 1. Much weaker campus worker unions 2. A lot of national attention is drawn to Emory, which is on the outskirts of the city 3. Unironically, a much lower Jewish population (Many pro-Palestine protests are organized/ supported by Jews critical of the regime)
Just walked past a bunch of CPS high schoolers waiting for the bus that I just abandoned — it’s not coming for 30 minutes. “Yesterday I walked 6 miles home cause the bus never came.” Our transit system is failing our students!
