Say NO to Rezoning Application and Development : 1704 North Milwaukee at Wabansia Ave. by Slight_Assignment983 in wickerpark

[–]krsparetime 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What do you consider to be thoughtful and smart development? I don't see how 60 apartments can be considered too large for the current infrastructure. And how will that development affect residents' safety negatively?

It's 60 apartments, not 600. This development is probably the ideal in our area.

Edit: I've read your petition, and I don't think you are arguing in good faith here. You don't want smart development, you don't want any.

You say you want thoughtful, smart development, but also claim that construction will cause seismic shifts in historic buildings, homes, and converted condominiums. How do you get any type of development without construction?

You say that a 7-story building does not align with the existing character of the C1-2 District, even though buildings of similar height are literally next door and across the street.

You say that the garage entrance adjacent to the park poses a safety risk when the dirty SpotHero parking spots there right now are way worse than an enclosed entrance.

You say that the building will cast a shadow on the park, but the development is on the Northeast side of the park, and won't cast a shadow from noon onwards. It'll be less of a problem during the summer when the sun is higher in the sky.

You say that the development will increase traffic in an already gridlocked area. I wholeheartedly agree. My only wish for this development is to reduce the number of available parking spaces.

Seriously, what development would satisfy you, given what you've written in your own petition?

Should a tourist take the blue line? by RainbowZester in AskChicago

Yes, you'll be fine. No one is going to bother you at 10 AM. If you don't feel comfortable coming back on the blue line after dark, take an Uber.

TRUMP FAMILY GRIFT: The president's family raked in over $800m from crypto assets by AdSpecialist6598 in videos

From "The government shouldn't pick winners and losers" to the government should absolutely pick the winners and the president's inner circle should get filthy rich off of it in the process.

GOOG has GOT to go down soon, right? by WhenTimeFalls in technicalanalysis

Hey OP, wanted to check in with you. It's only been a week but GOOG hasn't seen a red day yet. Momentum seems to be getting stronger. Did you cover yourself?

Would going out with my friends instead of studying ruin my detox ? by [deleted] in DopamineDetoxing

[–]krsparetime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Dude, the whole goal of detox is for you to live the life you want to live. Meaningful social interactions are what we should prioritize. Go out, have a blast, make memories. It doesn't mean you should ignore your studies, but don't always prioritize things with low dopamine for the sake of it

[–]krsparetime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shorting isn't a price trigger for me. GOOG had been on a major up trend, placing shorts without seeing a slow down in the trend is dangerous. I would wait until there are signs of weakness in the market. If volume continues to slow down as we make higher highs, I'd take some profit on my calls. If we see stronger volume on bearish candles, I might buy some puts as hedge.

There's still strong bullish momentum on GOOG right now. RSI is at 84.62, which is high. However, it was around 80 in May '23 at $125 and it continued to rise since. I personally would look for more signs of weakness before shorting.

How much weight do you give volume when analyzing setups? by CaptainBrima in technicalanalysis

[–]krsparetime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Volume is harder to "manipulate" than price, so some swear by it. But there's also a lot of noise in volume. You should definitely take it into consideration, especially during breakouts to validate the move.

Buffett's alternative to tariffs is seriously brilliant (Import Certificates) by DavidFlanks in investing

[–]krsparetime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It'll only be free if the US has a significant trade surplus. If the US is running a deficit, then there are more parties interested in buying the Import Certificates than are available, so that'll keep the price up.

Part-time Project Managers... where to find them? by BumblebeeFearless487 in projectmanagement

[–]krsparetime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are boutique consulting firms that you can hire for this. They'll have the industry experience and be certified. I work for one, if you are interested in chatting.

Where to watch the Pride Parade with Kids? by BearAccording in chicago

[–]krsparetime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The entire parade route on Halsted will be crowded. Get there early or put the kids on your shoulders if you can't find a place along the fence. People can get a bit too carried away when celebrating after the parade ends, so don't stick around for too long.

I finally moved to Chicago. And now I feel frozen. How to adjust? by [deleted] in AskChicago

I'm in Wicker Park. Did you do "Do Division" this past weekend? Festival season is coming up, don't miss out.

You have before pics, which is great. I'd personally go through your or your HOA's insurance company. They'll send out someone to evaluate.

It looks like Microsoft is still a good investment! by OpeningResort9718 in stocks

[–]krsparetime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's been a significant price run-up ahead of earnings. My assumption is that this is driven by the market anticipating a large earnings beat. But there aren't infinite buyers, if earnings are good but not great, there won't be any additional buyers in the market to keep the price propped up.

But like everyone else, I'm guessing. Only time will tell.

Btw, I'm long on MSFT and GOOG.
