There's one right answer to this question: turn the General Iron site into a public park to address storm water issues, social distancing issues and general overcrowding of parks on the North Side. The public should benefit.

.@CTULocal1 teachers are now being arrested inside Sterling Bay, the same politically connected luxury developer that rec’d $1.3 billion in tax dollars meant for schls & n’hood resources. Are you watching now @chicagosmayor? #PutItInWriting #FairContractNow

Parents, educators, students and @ILRaiseYourHand and @ChicagoCityDSA allies protested outside an event yesterday at Lincoln Yards, which is the beneficiary of $1B in TIF funds that should be going to schools. “We need nurses, we need books, we need money Lincoln Yards took!”

@chicagosmayor @JamesCappleman @AldermanBurnett @ward32chicago Ald. Villegas says Cox should "clean house" of holdovers from Rahm's DPD who prioritized Downtown development over neighborhoods.

A pending lawsuit aims to not only block $1.3 billion TIF but the advocacy groups behind the suit also want a temporary restraining order to prevent the developer, @sterlingbay, from moving forward with the project until the TIF litigation is settled. https://t.co/fgOve8HA3W

Why the rush? The clock was ticking for another reason. If @RahmEmanuel and @sterlingbay had waited much longer, the development no longer would have qualified for its record-high taxpayer subsidy. https://t.co/S0yR4sKNfB

@SterlingBay was told in November that the CPD did not have a budget and could not afford to maintain staff or more land. @sterlingbay is trying to deflect their lack of transparency at the same time, pat themselves on the back for their “Generous Gift”https://t.co/MxUE7FXaI6

Potential Buyers Of Stanley’s Market Thought Sterling Bay Was Coming, But No Sale Has Happened, Realtor Says https://t.co/nBkaADblL7

The Chicago River has a second branch the South Branch. Maybe you knew that, maybe you didn’t. If you didn’t, perhaps it’s because the South Branch hasn’t gotten the same spotlight as the North Branch or downtown stretch of the river. That needs to change. https://t.co/HZ4x9SSL7U

FAKE FIELDS opened yesterday courtesy of Sterling Bay. They really think that taxpayers are dumb enough to fall for their marketing ploy. A astroturf, disposable park that will be dumped into a landfill when the development starts getting built. #NoParkNoDeal

@sterlingbay unveiled Fleet Fields today, a token sop - detracting from the major issue of public ownership. A 1.3B TIF for an AstroTurf field? #NoParkNoDeal
