Housing is more expensive now. There are a few reasons for this.

Here in Chicago, one of those reasons isn’t super obvious—until you go to a community meeting for a local housing proposal. Here’s a thread about the absurdity of housing development in 2024🧵

@quidprojlo @brxxklynbxby__ May I see it?

Whew, going home from #midsommarfest and @cta isn’t running ample Clark buses to deal with the traffic from both the fest AND the @CHGO_RedStars game at Wrigley today. Great job! All buses are late and packed to the brim. @ctaaction @CTAFails

🚨Breaking News: Over 40 people have been killed in less than 5 minutes in a disastrous bombing of an UNRWA warehouse in Gaza. It’s a massacre in the middle of the night.
RAFAH IS ON FIRE.

@chi_urbanist There was also another real world installment in the west loop on Randolph…well past the real world glory days

[Al V @ChiRanter]

@chi_urbanist I remember the 1st installment of RW Chicago & how unwelcoming they were as the area was going through gentrification. There were literal protests outside the house but they didn’t cover that. I recall a shot of Tonya in front of the orange door which had red paint thrownon it

Why can’t I mute reels on Instagram? I mostly watch em on silent as I don’t want to disrupt my other apps sounds. When I tap the screen it pauses the reel instead of muting it

18 min wait for a Howard bound red line during rush hour. How’s this acceptable @cta @ctaaction

@kerricolby I don’t respect anyone of any gender belittling workers who clearly do not get paid enough to deal with their bs. She’s clearly doing this for clout and a free meal. I won’t be surprised if she causes a scene when an establishment prohibits her from filming & entering.

Clearly a Gable crowd #WWERaw
