Take the Indiana deal @ChicagoBears - score that easy Indiana taxpayer money!

We'll be fine! Chicago bars, hotels, and restaurants will just run shuttles to the games or fans will Uber there like they already do every year for Notre Dame games.

@LeighGiangreco Hearing it was a complete streets employee at CDOT. Devastating.

When will @ald_nicolelee take safe streets advocates seriously?

If the Bears do move to Indiana, the impact on Chicago and Illinois will be minimal. There isn't a huge direct economic impact from Bears games, and the city's status and reputation are not tied to having the team.

Kicking off my Spin Free Tour right here in Portsmouth. 🚴‍♂️

Three days biking through the backroads of New Hampshire and stopping in diners, living rooms, and backyards. 

Portsmouth to Hanover. 113 Miles. Let’s go!

The optimal outcome would have been a privately funded lakefront stadium. But this is a close second IMO.

Glad I won’t be paying for these billionaire’s stadium.

[Tracey Ryniec @TraceyRyniec]

@SullyCNBC Wrong. We are tired of billionaires getting billions. It's 6 games. Good luck to them. Other sports teams made realistic demands, which were met.

Monday on @chicagofuturist

Sat down with @mackenzieprice of @alphaschool, which just opened enrollment in Chicago for fall 2026

Currently in major cities like Austin, New York, and SF. Kids finish academics in two hours. The rest of the day is for entrepreneurship, public speaking, and real projects

Only 23% of CPS 4th graders are proficient in reading. 24% in math. Dead last among the four biggest cities

And spending is up 27%

Well-timed discussion. 🔜 MONDAY

"When the government supplies public services, its goal should be to supply those public services as efficiently as possible—not run a tax-and-transfer system to aid the relatively small number of people lucky enough to be union members."

Chicago Fire Department expert bitterly opposed to single stairwell construction (even in fully sprinklered buildings) talks at length on how ladder trucks can only go six stories.

So Alderman Conway asks him if he’d support single stairwell for 6 floors or less.

CFD guy: No.🤷‍♂️

I spy at least 5 steps that could be eliminated. This is like USSR level of bureaucracy.

I had to see the #obamalisk! I love it. And I love how beautifully it fits with Jackson park, with the huge Cornell Drive replaced by a garden. I suspect Olmsted would approve.

Plan B to bring Bears to Arlington Heights?

[nick kokonas @nickkokonas]

Because I was giving @ChicagosMayor grief about the rent increase language I decided to build a database from public records. A work in progress, but already way better than the city version. Took about 2 hours.

This sort of info access / org. is way more effective IMO.

[Daniel Kay Hertz @DanielKayHertz]

Thank god we said no to this—I went to the field museum recently and the site is still a beautiful parking lot with a view of McCormick place 🥲

It took <100 years for American settlers to destroy fully 99% of this unique landscape and the thousands of species of plants and animals that called it home

[Ja'Mal Green @JaymalGreen]

Chicago renters should be paying attention. Brandon Johnson just announced his new ordinance that he claims will go after landlords. Making you pay for tenants move out costs if you raise rent by $200 and making them pay up to $10,000 if they want to renovate their building and have you move. Guess who’s going to pay the costs?

You.

Through higher rents.
Through fewer available apartments.
Through tougher approval standards.

Brandon Johnson is selling this as tenant protection.

But every time City Hall makes it harder to provide housing, it becomes harder to find housing. That’s the part they won’t tell you. We need to BUILD housing on the 50k vacant pieces of land not make it harder for landlords and renters.

[Dan Spiegel @dl_spiegel]

The assumption behind the ordinance is all housing providers are evil. Imagine a public database of tenants who don’t pay on time or cause damage to property paid by tenants! Stop the class warfare rhetoric. There will be bad LL’s & tenants. Adding fees & taxpayer funded jobs isn’t the answer.
