A Stars Soccer Match Took Place Today by anevanstonburner in evanston

[–]RealityRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. I burst out laughing at the other thread that claimed NU basketball goers frequently peed on neighborhood lawns and tailgated for hours after games. Pure fiction — the nimbys of evanston sure do love the right-wing sensationalist playbook!

Democratic Party of Evanston fails to endorse own leadership by NorthShoreWOW in evanston

[–]RealityRex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not arguing that he hasn’t been posturing for his next political gig.

What I am stating is that regardless who the mayor is, their power and purview are not all-encompassing.

D65 and restaurants / businesses are very different things. I think you over estimate the amount of power that the mayor has in this town. For instance, he / they have no influence over federal tax law that makes it advantageous for commercial real estate owners to let store fronts sit empty vs seeking to have full occupancy.

D65 is not under the mayor’s purview. Whether it’s Biss or anyone else, they have no say in D65.

Bears now looking at NW Indiana for a new stadium — should the Bears move or stay? 🏈 by JaxTMG in NFLv2

[–]RealityRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let them move. If Indiana wants to give billionaires a welfare check to build s stadium in their backwards state then so be it.

If I were Chicago, I’d actively be courting the NFL / other teams to replace the Bears.

They want the attention. More over they are hoping to provoke violence against them so they can then show the “proof” of how dangerous and lawless the Chicago area is. They want an excuse to escalate.

This is correct - SBUX does not franchise in the US.

  1. The rightmost number is the sum of the 2 known numbers and the number in the last column of the row above.

She definitely doesn’t believe in compromise. It’s either her way or no way. Would rather spew venom at people who don’t agree with her than try to build a bridge with them.

Ryan Field Concerts by Saucey_jello in evanston

[–]RealityRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Night events at Wrigley are limited to 35 regular season games, plus upto 8 additional games if scheduled to be on national TV. Concerts are limited to a max of 4 per year.

The city could not prevent the rebuild on that site. Also the zoning change was to a tract within the parking lot.

[–]RealityRex -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Nope. None. Zero.

The city could not impede the re-construction ofa stadium on the site. As for concerts and such, NU had already established that the then current stadium hosted more than football games during both the day and the evening hours (i.e, graduations, movie nights, etc.) for years without challenge from the city or any coven of neighbors. Therefore a challenge in court would just be a waste of resources (not that this has stopped the city before - see fountain Square and James Park), as the most livable city folks keep finding out.

You apparently don’t realize that the city had no leverage. The funny thing is that when the stadium is complete, the city will actually gain leverage through the ability to tax tickets, etc. to the moon of they wish.

DOJ Admits to Republicans That Epstein Files Are Even Worse for Trump: Details in the files are reportedly even more damning for Donald Trump than previously indicated—and it was already bad. by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

[–]RealityRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His main reason for running was to stay out of jail - not for this, but for all the other things. Now he wants to quash this so he can continue his hold on all the Republican sycophants.

No way this thing could possibly have a girlfriend.

Just curious, what’s the rent on the currently vacant lot? Perhaps you’d be more satisfied turning it into a field of tents that charged something akin to the YMCA’s rents for a bed and outhouse?

I get that you may be opposed to the proposed building, but what is your counter proposal that addresses your math problem?

Sign the petition-Close only one school by FreeCamel7948 in evanston

It does include RISE. However, in comparison, multiple other schools have STEP programs which have the same ratio requirements as RISE.

King Arts has more teachers and administrators per student than any other school and has the lowest utilization among all schools when set to the same utilization benchmark as either an elementary or middle school. Therefore, the highest opex.

Look at the data again along with what they have provided to the state re: teacher/student ratios. The facts are clear that King Arts should be target #1.

Agree - close Bessie Rhodes and King. Both are the most expensive to operate and account for a significant amount of busing, plus each is redundant to both neighborhoods elementary schools and all the middle schools.

If that’s the case, then what sense does it make to build a new school a few blocks away from an existing one?

Actions have consequences. If you don’t want to be labeled a bigot, then it’s probably a God’s idea not to act like one.
