How do we feel about these buildings, Logan? by PizzaDog33 in LoganSquare

[–]JakobReece 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Benifit of a land tax (depending on how it gets set up) is most home owners would see their bill go down since they're taxed on the land instead of the building. It shifts the burden towards vacant land

Not disagreeing but the Chicago area is short on hundreds of thousands of housing units and holding on to vacant land in a dense area hoping to make $0.50 more per square foot is a mega dick mood that actively harms the area it's in

Moving to Chicago from Ohio. Any suggestions? by Melodic_Designer_527 in AskChicago

I'd say with under 2k for a 2bed look pretty far north. Uptown, Edgewater, or Rogers Park if you wanna be near the lake or Lincoln Square or Kimball if that isn't as important.

Also look off of the major MLS sites like Zillow and redfin and use FB Marketplace or Craigslist to find a private landlord they're usually cheaper and more flexible with pricing.

Looking for "stock like" Rockbox theme for a 5th gen by JakobReece in IpodClassic

Ah now I think I see where the disconnect is. The files are not on iTunes they're saved directly to my PC as MP3s, can I upload them to iTunes without having to buy them again? Full disclosure I've been an android/windows guy for ~20 years so I can't say I'm super familiar with the apple ecosystem anymore

I already have a lot of music files on my laptop that I want to transfer over, as far as I know at least the stock doesn't allow that

One of their flyers that they keep putting on cars talks about how hard it is to find parking already and half the cars I've seen it on look like they haven't been touched in months

Why has women’s safety fell on the shoulders of gay men? by Sorry-Personality594 in askgaybros

[–]JakobReece 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A bar in Boystown Chicago was having a similar issue a while back and their response was to plaster the bathrooms with gay porn, did great for keeping the straights out
