You hear a lot of negative things about Chicago if you're not in Chicago, You hear a lot of negative things about investing in Chicago real estate if you don't invest here, but the reality is that the neighborhoods we are investing in are booming. A lot of residents are…

Why is the CTA struggling to hire when NYC, DC, and SF have met or exceeded their pre-pandemic staffing levels? Current leadership is failing Chicago riders. Mayor Johnson and Governor Pritzker should appoint a new board and a new president should lead the CTA to recovery. (3)

Its truly beyond comprehension how @ChicagoDOT and @CDRosa @35th_Ward are in favor of prioritizing a few parking spots over people on, of all places, Milwaukee Ave - a busy ped & bike corridor that is seeing rapid implementation of traffic calming & PBLs elsewhere on the route.

@CDRosa this is not a great look, is there an explanation when it looks like a select few condo boards, unrepresentative neighborhood groups, & a jealous business owner teamed up to remove something that was widely popular amongst residents according to survey results?

If @HarryCarays is actively lobbying to make River North less safe & less livable, then it is crystal clear that no civic-minded Chicagoan should continue to patronize their business. Doing so will only enable them to continue their fight against neighborhood improvements.

This story is bananas. Florida charges people $50 a day for their stay in prison. The state wants this woman to pay $127,000 because she was sentenced to 7 years—even though she only served 10 months. A perfect example of how the gov’t sets people up to fail upon release.
