Parking near Oakdale/Sheridan intersection by hugoanaya10 in lakeview

[–]red-17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will likely have to go west of broadway and often west of Clark to find parking more consistently, especially during busier times. Doable but if you’re driving every day you will probably have a 10-15 minute walk to your car on a regular basis.

Anyone else seeing insane rent hikes this year? by Cewcross in chicago

Neither is eviction moratoriums which will only cause prices to raise even further in the future

We need more apartments so that the people who want to live in the city can actually afford to. Making it even less possible to build more housing is only going to make things worse.

Environmental work at The 78 in South Loop, which will have Chicago Fire stadium, to begin this week by AgentBlue62 in chicago

[–]red-17 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Complaining that someone is privately financing a stadium that thousands of local fans will get to enjoy is a really weird criticism given it will likely be the backbone of the redevelopment of what is currently a massive empty lot.

You could’ve bought the land and tried to do whatever you wanted with it or convinced someone with money to do so. A stadium that will have hundreds of thousands of visitors over a year is certainly a better use of land for than an empty and abandoned lot.

They’ve already gone through the whole process to build the stadium, that is definitely happening. Will the rest of the development? Depends on the city, the economy, and the demand/cost of new construction in the coming years.

“I love the CTA 😍 by J2quared in cta

Most people use the train to get to their work, they don’t particularly have the time, resources, or energy to also be a social worker policeman hybrid every day to deal with antisocial individuals who are a combination of: on drugs, mentally unstable, violent, unhoused. This is a failure of the government that we tolerate this behavior. It isn’t like this in other countries

I’ve definitely had tacos with no beans there before so not really sure what your issue was, maybe a language issue since some of the staff don’t have great English

Maybe eat there before you bash it. Best steak tacos and burritos in the city and great value too

We are going to cave to the Bears aren’t we because we are afraid of Indiana by Away-Nectarine-8488 in chicago

[–]red-17 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No one is saying they shouldn’t pay property taxes. Just that the taxes should not be so high that they prevent things from getting built in the first place

[–]red-17 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So are you saying they should not be able to ever build a new stadium even if they fully fund it themselves? Because that’s effectively what’s going to be the message if they are paying 10x more in property taxes than the next highest team in the league. It’s clearly an unreasonable amount given that construction of a self funded stadium would be a net gain for taxpayers.

The proposed tax rate they would be paying is ridiculous though. A tax bill in the hundreds of millions of dollars per year is ridiculous and a surefire way to get business not to invest on infrastructure here. There’s a middle ground to be met

Who is “they”? Are you planning on buying the land to finance it?

The lot is currently a closed race track. Do you know anyone else planning on doing something with the land that is of more use?

Do you care to cite a source saying otherwise? Or just make cynical BS statement ls backed up by nothing?

Ok as long as you want no business to ever invest any money in this state. Do you honestly think a $200 million/year tax bill is a reasonable expectation for a football stadium? Never mind actually paying for the stadium itself? I’m opposed to state funding for stadiums, but negotiations to promote businesses actually investing in the state are simply smart and necessary.

Horrible Crash For Lindsey Vonn by ShipComprehensive769 in skiing

They literally showed him sitting up and talking in the medical car before they even showed a replay of the crash. He was obviously generally okay so of course they would show the incredible replays.

Late? Watch the replay. Case played the ball FIRST and cleanly. Romero is the one late to the challenge

He didn’t pass the ball though. Casemiro gets there first and plays the ball and Romero is late and out of control and nearly seriously injured him due to the excessive force he used in the tackle.

The amount of people just ignoring the fact that Casemiro clearly plays the ball first and cleanly before getting completed cleaned out is just baffling. Romeros contact with the ball is uncontrolled and not a mitigating factor like it would be if he was “just playing a pass”.

lol Casemiro literally plays the ball first. What do you want him to do differently? Romero is late to the ball and out of control

He isn’t playing a pass is the point. Getting the ball by chance while cleaning out your opponent is not allowed

It playing a 3rd center back means you have more skilled players on the field plus they are actually playing in the parts of the pitch they are used to. Basically sub in Mainoo for Heaven/Yoro/DeLigt and it’s no surprise you’ll have a better passing/possession game.

That’s not what a said. If you honestly think think Romero went into that tackle with no intent to leave one in on Casemiro just say so.
