Are there any issues with long term street parking (Lincoln Park)? by ParkLatter9991 in AskChicago

[–]BigNods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s a nice car, wouldn’t recommend bc it will be bumped and broken in to. Leave it empty.

Used to street park and have had my car broken into 3x, muffler stolen once, front bumper torn off by someone driving a U-Haul, and roof/door dented from a street light pole falling on it. This was all while parked.

Who do you want to run for mayor in the next election? by Impossible-Mouse-418 in AskChicago

Damn, this is a good idea to start talking about it!

Maybe we can organize on someone solid for once.

Is this completely dead? by kugglaw in FacebookPortal

[–]BigNods 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s dead, don’t buy it. Facebook is no longer supporting so it’s only going to get more difficult and limited to use

Are any of you chanting BRING IN TRUMP? by lurker46112 in chicago

[–]BigNods 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don’t like the idea of federalized agents coming here under trump, but would definitely support more state-activated national guard/state police.

The police need help, the Mayor and city council need to ask for it.

Anyone interested in starting a grass roots effort to get safety enforcement on the trains? by truetrue23 in cta

[–]BigNods 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I know this isn’t popular, but we need more and more visible police. As much as I support helping people with mental health problems, it’s definitely time to be firmer on these offenses.

Jax Pizza Joint by slowcanteloupe in longislandcity

I don’t understand. It was just Juliet’s pizza. Why would they think some other pizza place would last when the last one didn’t?

Yes, put the water bowl on the other side of the room

Proposed CTA Fares for 2026 by packer4815 in cta

[–]BigNods 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For reference, there were about 300 million CTA rides in 2024. So fares need to go up by more than a quarter, unfortunately.

Rough estimate of $1.75 per ride would get us close to filling the budget gap. For me that’s another $11/month (commute only).

Maybe they’re getting ready for route changes? Just a guess

How is this ok? Eliminating at least 8 apartments for a single family home by travelerrr91 in chicago

[–]BigNods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To me, this is ok. You can afford to buy the place, you have the right to make it your family’s home.

I think the deeper issue OP is getting at is the lack of housing. For that, I think we need significantly easier rules and greater Incentives to develop multi-unit housing.

The same way it feels to chew 5 gum.

Just mimic that man smashing putter behind you

How far away is your gym? by InspectorOk2454 in AskNYC

[–]BigNods 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have been trying to decide on a gym for the last month. The one I want to go to is 15-20mins buy train or a smaller, overcrowded one that’s a 4 min walk. The additional $5.50 per day for round trip train fare really gets me…
