NYC socialism is like… “what if we made living fun” and Chicago socialism is like “what if we used $10 million tax dollars to fund a grift my friends are running.”
@ajmmorrissey@burziyech I believe they are planning to open an L station as well. The prospect of having a walkable ballpark village is much more appealing to a lot of younger fans. Much of the historic feeling of the neighborhood was lost and it’s hard to argue in favor of parking lots over businesses
@red_pillpatriot @josh_seiter This makes zero sense lol. Spay and Neuter campaigns for stray populations are key parts of veterinary healthcare and outreach… No critical thought here
@DaWheels_1@00723maui@TrustIsEarnd@FrancescoPoll21@jd6249192289491@therealburns3 Please do some actual research on the actual economic impacts of stadiums like this, they’re not as generous to local economies as you’re leading on. Illinois and JB are being smart by holding back funds. The McCaskey’s are worth billions, they can pay for the infrastructure
@luxepunk@realcalebprice And be so real, Bring Chicago Home would have done nothing other than further cripple our corporate real estate market and put money in the pockets of Johnson’s friends
@luxepunk@realcalebprice Also you’re a white transplant living in a wildly gentrifying neighborhood which residents fought long and hard for. Take a second to think for a second before coming in so hot to judge
@luxepunk@realcalebprice My man I’m not right wing. Many of the people echoes these concerns are not right wing. Yes it’s not capital murder, but harassment and drug use are still crimes. Someone is lying or your political enemy because they have frustrations with crime in the city they live in
@luxepunk@realcalebprice I don’t disagree. But when the only solution presented is BJ’s Bring Chicago Home proposal to bring more funds to his friends, you can’t think it’s unreasonable for people to lose patience with what is happening on the CTA and the encampments in the parks
@luxepunk@realcalebprice Also drug is also a crime. There are needles on the trains, people are constantly smoking weed and crack, and selling all of that shit too. Crimes to happen on the trains
