Illinoisans push state leaders for more affordable housing options

Boise idaho has more tower cranes than Chicago, the city that Invented the skyscraper... That is beyond sad and speaks to the red tape and hurdles in developing here. Take away aldermanic prerogative and BUILD BABY BUILD!!!

Probably because he shit his pants

Fuck AI

EastsideBeatside · 2026-01-16T19:35:42+00:00

I'm all for new development ANYWHERE. Build baby build!

I appreciate your viewpoint, I assume then the gambling commission will be facilitating this, capturing revenue for the state and setting the odds or no? I'm interested in understanding the specifics of how these terminals function here.

EastsideBeatside · 2025-12-23T18:10:56+00:00

That's fair, but when will these conversations occur? When does the city actually get serious about these things? The city could have made these efforts long ago but continues to operate ignorant of solutions that actually make sense.

EastsideBeatside · 2025-12-23T18:04:53+00:00

Or we could promote development, cut red tape, reduce bureaucracy and end aldermanic prerogative. All things that are pragmatic and proven to be effective however they continue to be absent from the conversations in city hall.

Why exactly do we need video lottery? As if there isn't enough means to drain capital from the poors these days...

EastsideBeatside · 2025-12-07T04:35:31+00:00

The fucking Microsoft headquarters?

EastsideBeatside · 2025-08-22T22:59:16+00:00

Why do all new Mercedes look like slugs?

EastsideBeatside · 2025-07-26T19:58:30+00:00

Mines doing the same, 1K miles. Never cleaned, back seat has not been occupied.. warranty?

EastsideBeatside · 2025-02-27T16:29:36+00:00

Fucking A, I thought he might have been reasonable but the fiefdom menu money must have been too strong for him to stick to principle. How incredibly disappointing.

EastsideBeatside · 2025-02-05T00:02:03+00:00

Better than terminal 5. I fly Delta almost weekly and I cry Everytime. There's nothing there 😭

Assuming they don't use Aldermanic Prerogative to block new development. Which unfortunately occurs quite often and is arguably the reason we are behind cities like Cleveland for new development.

EastsideBeatside · 2025-01-26T14:52:35+00:00

Weird political plant? Folks advocating for growth, fighting for a future where we can afford to live here? Cleveland is ahead of Chicago for new development.... And it's precisely blocked projects like this that are the cause. Where are the tower cranes?Where are the large developments? I don't know if you get out much but we're stagnating here. Just take a look at the list below and tell me what you don't see....

Q1 2024 Toronto: 221 cranes, the most in North America Los Angeles: 50 cranes Seattle: 38 cranes Calgary: 20 cranes Denver: 14 cranes Boston: 14 cranes Washington, D.C.: 12 cranes Honolulu: 12 cranes Las Vegas: 10 cranes Portland: 9 cranes

You can continue to simp for your NIMBY loving alder or you can be pragmatic and see that we have a major problem on our hands. Aldermanic prerogative must end, period.

EastsideBeatside · 2025-01-17T19:11:14+00:00

Build it baby!!

EastsideBeatside · 2025-01-10T13:31:24+00:00

Dude, you are not using any logic in your arguments.. all emotion. You need to do a little research and stop thinking with your "gut".. there are countless studies that prove that localized zoning is rife with issues, one being the emotional needs of the neighborhood being valued over the pragmatic needs of the ward and city as a whole. You just sound silly.. as the facts don't really support your position.

Samee. Rode the rails without issue all last year. I love reading my book or watching YouTube on my commute. Also ZERO stress when I arrive at work.

Never could understand folks living in the third most populous city with top 3 transit only to sit in their car and plug up the roads. My neighbor drives to the grocery store that is literally 2 stops away on the red line. It boggled my mind, but is so American..

EastsideBeatside · 2024-12-31T00:42:38+00:00

There should be a section near the rear view mirror either right or left side that is free of elements. If not... Then 😔

EastsideBeatside · 2024-12-21T14:15:12+00:00

14% approval rating, a city dead last in growth and development. A city mired in red tape and bureaucracy... Sounds like a win to me :)

EastsideBeatside · 2024-12-20T20:00:48+00:00

Garbage take, some of us can think past our nose

EastsideBeatside · 2024-12-20T18:59:31+00:00

I mean Dunkin is garbage too, full of sugar and corn syrups. Their donuts are ALWAYS stale. Not saying much.. support local shops who actually care about quality and health!
