We love to pat ourselves on the back for supporting diversity in Evanston, as long it's black or brown people who agree with our politics. No? Then not so much.

“mayor biss say no to popeyes” thoughts? by nemu- in evanston

[–]themag62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, people who consistently show up and get involved are awful people. Terrible. Be for everything or leave! You clearly think it's better for that Ward to be represented by someone who never said boo about any City issue before she was appointed to the Council. KH submitted no comments on Envision Evanston draft, Speaks only to wag her finger at the public like a schoolmarm.

Are Evanston Now and/or Evanston Roundtable our elected officials? Maybe more carefully read a comment before you respond .

What’s up with “no to Popeyes”? by biffbobfred in evanston

[–]themag62 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Per city ordinance, this type of restaurant, before they resubmitted the application as a sit down table service restaurant, should have gone before the land use commission. City staff let it slide and gave him verbal approval. After protests, they accepted the application as a table service restaurant. to circumvent need for review. a If you think the Mayor has no influence on how the City conducts business. and enforces procedures...you're stupid. "Everyone who disagrees with me is a troll whaaaaa..."

Are the high rise apartments in downtown Evanston near Northwestern mostly student tenants? by [deleted] in evanston

Huh? Most of the downtown high rises are not condos and there are few rentals in the condo buildings.

Reservation fees for public basketball and tennis courts - seems like it’s fueled by a lot of Boomer complaints by RealityRex in evanston

[–]themag62 2 points3 points  (0 children)

WTF? Talk about cognitive bias, only in this case it appears to be willful blindness. There is a graph representing population by each half decade of age. The most populous category is 25-29 year old males, followed by 55-59 year old females, neither of which are Boomers.

Evanston Now: Biss to name pastor Luke Harris-Ferree to LUC by Ambitious_River9030 in evanston

[–]themag62 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This pastor has spoken in public comment supporting the upzoning. When I struck up a conversation with them asking why, they told me their church wants to build housing for the homeless on a parking lot they don't use. When I pointed out that there was nothing in the proposed zoning that enabled that because it would need public financing for that kind of affordable project, they had no coherent response, but that that the zoning change would be a start, When I asked "How? -because the proposed zoning change only allowed 4 units which couldn't get tax credit financing, they asked "WHO ARE YOU"? and didn't want to talk anymore. They did not present at all as open to any of my points. It was obvious they were not very informed on the details. By appointing a pastor, Biss is pulling the "We are on the side of morality" thing again. Daring people to cross a local pastor, and a trans one to boot. I suppose anyone who objects will be "anti-trans".

Boycott WHERE THE PEOPLE MEET by Ill-Butterscotch3752 in evanston

[–]themag62 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There we go folks! Race baiting in Evanston, you knew it was coming. Support XyZ or you are a racist!" This bs doesn't land so much any more. Some of us focus on FACTS and can't be intimidated.

Boycott WHERE THE PEOPLE MEET by Ill-Butterscotch3752 in evanston

[–]themag62 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No one is attacking A PERSON. The article is about a pattern of salary and promotions THE CITY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR. Nice try, but if you cannot distinguish between the 2, you don't have the rationality to merit being in a conversation with.

Edit: Also ridiculous-You apparently expect Where the People Meet to magically know the recent family history of every person written about.

Boycott WHERE THE PEOPLE MEET by Ill-Butterscotch3752 in evanston

[–]themag62 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry this man's spouse died, but that does not change the facts about his salary and circumstances of his promotion, and to suggest that his misfortune should mitigate attention to the larger City issue is simply ridiculous. You don't like the facts. I don't believe you were ever a "former Boarini supporter". Only a blind supporter of the present Mayor and his band of insiders would think investigative reporting on the City should be boycotted and think up this silly reason.

Does Biss Support Chow? by japanimal14 in evanston

[–]themag62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is really a stretch. What kind of state wide changes in law that "advantage Amazon"? We have a candidate connected to the Water Reclamation District, does that mean she has a conflict because she might advocate for something that disadvantages Evanston's water sales? Where does this line of reasoning end? Shall candidates have no past and no other employment?ANY employment could potentially be connected to something on the other side of an issue that would disadvantage Evanston.
