Listen, I don't begrudge the people of Dearborn Park. Yes, the design sucks. But realistically, this was the best we were going to do in the late 70s and 80s when demand wasn't exactly strong.
But it is no longer 1985. Not only is there demand for density, the health of downtown hinges on it!

It’s pretty wild how much of the western US forest has been lost in the last 40 years. The wildfire scars are unmistakeable.

Current* conditions near Lakewood, OH:
From 2015 to 2019, passenger car VMT in Chicagoland fell 28% while passenger truck VMT *grew* 68%. As a result, even though total VMT only grew 1.8%, on-road GHG emissions grew by 3.2%.
If the car-truck VMT ratio in 2019 were in line with 2010 & 2015, on-road GHG emissions would've actually fallen.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

The fact that you can easily identify the city limits of Chicago simply by looking at Pace's routes is a fundamental problem of our regional transportation network

If you think our politics couldn’t get any uglier, you should read about Charles Sumner, a senator who got beaten to within an inch of his life on the Senate floor in 1856. And the guy who did it didn’t even go to jail.

The Elijah Lovejoy Memorial in Alton, I believe the second-tallest monument in the state. Lovejoy, a minister & publisher, was killed while defending his abolitionist newspaper against a pro-slavery mob. He’s considered America’s first martyred journalist. A few more pics below.

In 2020, the Chicago community area with a population age distribution that most closely resembled the city as a whole was Bridgeport. On the flipside, the CA with the greatest difference was West Town.
