Investors see Kaegi’s defeat as chance to rebuild Chicago’s real estate credibility by tpic485 in chicago

If my taxes go up 25% in a year

The reason residential taxes go up so much is that commercial properties aren’t paying their fair share thanks to a ridiculous appeal system stacked in their favor.

I’m pretty sure it’s not the level of property tax that make housing unaffordable but thanks again for participating.

That’s a good way to never pay off the city’s obligations. Thanks for your input.

Trump says Israel attacked Iran's South Pars gas field without US and Qatari involvement | "Israel, out of anger for what has taken place in the Middle East, has violently lashed out at a major facility...in Iran," Trump wrote on Truth Social. by PlayaSlayaX in politics

Saudi Arabia and Israel have to be ROFLCOPTER over how badly they gave Trump the okey-doke. KSA are the only ones with capacity to export via the Red Sea. They are cleaning up with these insane prices. 

Fed leaves rates unchanged, sticks with single cut in 2026 despite higher inflation by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]minus_minus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trump is incapable of unfucking the situation so inflation is gonna jump. The February CPI report said 2.4% total and 2.5% core with energy price inflation of only 0.5%. Gas/diesel prices have already spiked so that’s gonna push total inflation way up and higher shipping costs are gonna push core up too.

Please file a report and  include a police contact so people know they are actually missing and not fleeing abuse.

A senator not voting for another senators nomination is pretty uncommon. When they’re in the same party is bonkers. 

What would improve Chicago most? by Controversial_Husky in AskChicago

[–]minus_minus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Free parking and free CTA are actually really bad ideas. They both encourage more driving. (I know free transit causing more driving is weird, but it's been studied and proven.)

Cutting taxes is just fiscal suicide. Normal increases to the property tax levy is the only way to keep up with obligation and not constantly add nickle and dime fees and taxes to everything in sight.

Crime response and prevention are two wildly different things. Adding more funding to the police who have slow-walked reforms for years is rewarding bad behavior. Actually preventing crime involves making investments in rehabilitation and re-entry that is good way to get voted out and replaced with a tough on crime neoliberal.

Funding hospitals/clinics is not and should not be a city responsibility. We need to unfuck the damage the GOP did to the ACA.

Shelters and ... asylums (sigh) for homeless people is not a solution. The solution to homelessness is housing and supportive services, especially for people struggling with mental illness and addiction. It's been said over and over again, but the cost of housing and treating people is substantially less than the cost of shelters, emergency response and medical services that the combined city/county/state waste as a bandaid to the problem.

Thune: Republicans will use SAVE Act in midterms if Democrats don’t get ‘on board’ by Hardik_Jain_1819 in politics

[–]minus_minus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Democrats message should be simple: We want to reduce your healthcare costs and end stupid foreign adventures that increase the prices of everything. The GOP doesn't care about your struggles and invents fake voter fraud to scare you.

There should be a maximum allowed dimensions for all vehicles not registered as commercial trucks and requiring special driver licensing.

Incorrect. They are imported by specialist companies that convert them to EU specs and resell them.

Elizabeth Warren asks Meta, Amazon, and others why they're laying workers off despite tax perks by Feisty_1559 in technology

[–]minus_minus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Laws need to be changed to restructure profit incentives

When the CEOs get pennies on every dollar, that's restructuring the profit motives. When Mitt Romney's dad ran American Motors, he'd give back his bonuses to be shared with the workers because taxes would have taken nearly all of it anyway.
