If your city plows the roads but leaves sidewalks up to property owners, your city hates pedestrians.

Deep dive into the surge in US pedestrian deaths:
"It’s not that more pedestrians are getting hit by vehicles; it’s that the ones that are getting hit are more likely to die."
"[That] seems like fairly strong evidence for the theory that the rise in large SUVs is behind the uptick in ped deaths."

Why Are So Many Pedestrians Killed by Cars in the US?

GIVE US GOOD TRAINS!!!!!!
Many Chicagoans will head up to Milwaukee tomorrow for game 2 of the NLDS. Undoubtedly, some will take one of the 13-15 daily direct flights from O'Hare.
If we were a proper country with a modern rail system, there'd be no need for air travel between two major cities that are only 90 miles apart.

ICE admits that up to 50% of arrests in its Chicago raids are "collateral.” These aren't statistics. They are parents taken from their children, neighbors taken from our communities. When does a "collateral" U.S. citizen child's trauma matter? This isn't law enforcement; it's a campaign of terror.
