Who think indiana needs to give the Bears way more than $500 mill to get them to move.

They’d move to Indiana quickly if given land and $400 mill in contributions to build their own stadium.

It would extremely lucrative to indiana to put forth the $500 million to lure them over. There are lots of Bears fans in northwest indiana.

Maybe one out of ten (?) might be bought by property investors, maybe one out of ten might be bought by someone serious about moving into the property while they renovate to make it their own house.

Off-topic: Chicago alderman running to unseat Toni Preckwinkle in Cook County. TV ads are out....

There's little chance (IMHO) that anyone will beat Preckwinkle, very few try AFAIK.

Anyway, current TV commercial (trying to influence an election almost a year away???) is yapping about how Brendan Riley, who is competing against Preckwinkle and is currently the alderman for a lot of the River North area, actually APPROVED that Trump sign on Trump Tower!!! DEFACING OUR CITY VIEWS!!!

Shh: he didn't have a choice in the matter. The city would have faced the mother of all lawsuits if Riley woulda turned down the sign being okayed by the Zoning Board (or whatever).

Anyway, city of Chicago politics at its finest!! FWIW: She's 78 y.o. right now... meaning she'll be roughly 83 upon the completion of her next term.

I would never bet against Reilly. I lived in the 42nd ward when he unseated

Burt Natarus and voted in that election. Natarus had been on city council since 1971.

It was when Streeterville was just a few tall buildings and a bunch of 3 story parking garages and tiny shacks, like my old favorite hot dog spot, Hot Diggity Dog. There were two or three towers going up at the time of the election and I saw about 2 dozen hard hat bros voting at my precinct. Ain't a snowball's chance in hell those dudes lived a block away from Navy Pier. Shadiest shit I've ever seen, but maybe they had some dispensation to vote their precinct ballots in the 42nd Ward or something. I don't know what the hell was going on, but again, not a snowball's chance in hell I'd bet against a dude who went from no-name to taking down Natarus.

Chicago is going to lose 50k residents this year with the state losing 100k

Next year Chicago will lose 100k residents and the state almost 200,000.

If you want to know why Mayor Blow Job is upset about the illegal crackdown, it’s because their population bleed has been hidden by counting non citizens.

Many multi-millionaires are also going to leave the state. And even more will just leave the city and move outside of Crook County. Chicago and Illinois are going to be in a code red for their budgets.

It is going to be an absolute master class in Liberal foolery when they’re forced to raise taxes again.

Journal last month praised the Lincoln Square area on the north side

There are always good spots somewhere that have decent housing stock and attract people you want. But a median price of $2.3m can only have so many people around, and won't save a city.

Chicagoans are jockeying for single-family homes in this north-side neighborhood, where there is plenty of room for backyards and multicar garages. Luxury homes in Lincoln Square sold for a median of almost $2.3 million in the 12 months through October, up 38% from three years ago, according to an analysis by Juliana Yeager, a Chicago real-estate agent...

Buyers are drawn to Lincoln Square for the kind of homes more likely to exist in the suburbs, and they can get those wider floor plans here with the bonus of a commuter train stop....

Lincoln Square, which includes the Ravenswood area, is the kind of lower-density, walkable enclave where kids play outside and neighbors socialize. Large parks include baseball fields, numerous playgrounds and flowering prairie fields, and nearby private and public schools draw in young families. North Lincoln Avenue includes indie shops, a deli and a cobblestone plaza with a fountain. The community hosts annual events like the Square Roots music festival and an Oktoberfest, celebrating the area’s German heritage....

bnsf used to run a train every 20 minutes. they would run one that stopped in naperville and rt 59 and one that stopped at lisle, belmont and downers. it was that way from 2003 until 2020.

they've now running one train every 30 minutes that makes all 5 stops. that's replacing 6 trains an hour with 2. even with those trains relatively full, there's no way the number of people going downtown is anywhere close to what it used to be.
