I make no apology for posting this photo. I think it’s a photo that will haunt America in the years to come. This is what you have become. If you defend this, have a word with yourself.

Chicago's rankings in the Milken Institute's annual Best-Performing Cities report continues to decline. Now 185 out of 200 large cities / metro areas. Methodology accounts for labor market, high-tech and economic opportunity. We desperately need to improve local growth.

Mayor Johnson’s statement is not true. The CCSAO did not receive the Executive Order until it was released to the public. We do not provide legal approval of any matter until we’ve reviewed it. On such a critical issue, it’s important we get it right.

WSJ: There is a whistleblower complaint against Tulsi Gabbard that is so sensitive that it is "said to be locked in a safe," and the administration has spent months trying to figure out how inform Congress.

175 W Jackson sold for 87% discount to 2018 price. Good to see transactions, and I think buyers will do well from the reset in pricing. But more transactions like this will accelerate the ongoing reset in fair market values for tax assessments. Shifts burden to residential.

NO MORE VACANT LOTS! Land banking is bad for Chicago. Another vacant lot, displaced locally-owned retail, loss of NOAH SRO units, steep drop in property taxes.... This yet another example of why demolition permits should ONLY be issued with building permits. Loyola

Revoke 5-10% of driver's licenses and tens of thousands of lives will be saved, insurance prices for auto, property, and health will all decline, multiple forms of pollution and traffic will decrease, and there will be a new demand for robust public transportation. Boomers will
