@chicagobars The point is that downtown office districts look to be a thing of the past. This is a pivotal moment! I am not doom-and-gloom and would have balked at using public funds for a stadium 2 years ago. The “American downtown” situation has changed drastically nationwide, hasn’t it?
@chicagobars@ChicagoBears Anyone read about the STL downtown “doom loop”? They’re trying to build stadiums to reverse the trend but it’s too late. After reading about this, it actually seems like a smart investment to ensure our downtown stays vibrant. Keeps Chicago a destination city & hotels full
Take it from a Chicago native. “Chicago style” for tourists bro. Get tavern style thin crust. That’s real Chicago pizza. If it comes in this box you’re in the right place
@slucy@BunkersNoXing@WmGReed @VoteTheBean Context is important -this was in response to your condescending comment with the all-caps. Anyways, @slucy created cohesive arguments & I appreciate that. I removed that and apologize. you can grow your cause more effectively with dialogue than bullying. Cheers.
@BunkersNoXing@slucy@WmGReed @VoteTheBean I do see it as a problem. It was the suggested alternatives that I also saw a problem with. I am not your enemy.
@slucy @VoteTheBean Is the business responsible for absorbing the cost of poor city planning? This is a much needed place of employment for many of our fellow community members. The business also pays local taxes to the gov who should in turn address these issues.
