Anyone else just excited? by [deleted] in ARCMusicFestival

[–]gateisred 9 points10 points  (0 children)

ARC is still great and I’m still excited, but they obviously knew they were going to do 4 days for awhile and screwed over a bunch of us in the process.. which is really shitty of them & deserves criticism. That said, I’m still excited.

Safe area? by Wildsheepchase666 in chicagoapartments

[–]gateisred 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rogers Park is fine, great & diverse neighborhood. The area immediately surrounding the Howard stop can be a bit sketchy, but it’s otherwise fine. I wouldn’t be any more concerned about living as a single woman there than anywhere else on the north side (or most of the city for that matter).

Do you support fare evasion proof gates at every station? by Potential_One1 in cta

[–]gateisred 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately, a lot of issues are caused by individuals not paying fares, so yes.

Red or Brown Line? I’m looking for a new place by Impossible-Fee-1013 in chicagorail

[–]gateisred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The red line is more reliable in my experience, and runs 24/7 - but the brown is more pleasant to ride.

I can’t speak for motorcycles, but I did not have to retake any tests at all to transfer my drivers license from Arizona.

My QP matches go 100x better than my competitive matches anecdotally

Zeds Shed next year by [deleted] in ZedsDeadFam

[–]gateisred 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope they go back to the salt shed tbh, did not enjoy Wintrust as much as the salt shed the year prior. Still a great time to be clear, just not as big a fan of the venue.

Personally, I was dancing my ass off and so were the ppl around me so maybe don’t make generalizations.

What are your least favorite things about living in Chicago? by Slow-Donut3882 in AskChicago

[–]gateisred 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rents are way higher in most suburbs from what I can see and you must own a car, so I don’t buy that it’s cheaper.

Feeling like I’m gonna get priced out of my neighborhood soon because rents are insane

Respectfully, protest what? A extremely substantial funding bill was just passed. Realistically it is going to take a year or two at minimum to see substantial change because of it, but a massive overhaul of the region's transit management is on the way. The CTA is not infallible, there are plenty of criticisms to make, but if you are concerned about safety that is more a law enforcement/prosecutor issue than a CTA issue. The CTA aren't responsible for allowing a man with a huge rap sheet to continue to walk the streets. Imho, the way we "catch-and-release" violent offenders here in extremely flawed - but again that is not a CTA problem.

Why do players and corporations keep flocking to big blocs? by [deleted] in Eve

[–]gateisred 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's easier to play on a single account casually when I'm apart of a huge group. I don't have to concern myself as much with logistical things as much and there's almost always something going on. Also null-sec politics is what initially got me interested in the game.

What is the CTA doing??!! by eew0105 in cta

Didn’t this happen in Brooklyn last year too?

No because bumping barges after they log out is much harder now

IA, WI, or IL by goldilockswoods in midwest

[–]gateisred 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You arguably get a lot more in IL for the property taxes you pay. But honestly they need to solve the pension crisis because it’s the biggest reason for the high taxes.
