@sdamico Can you post a video of say 1 liter of water at confirmed tap temp to start and show how long it takes to boil?
My Miele induction can boil a half inch of water in under a minute, maybe only 10-15 seconds slower than this.
@lacherbauer The real question is whether Logan residents want that sort of maturation of the neighborhood or not. I personally would love more community trash cans and neighborhood upkeep but it will certainly cause property costs to appreciate.
@lacherbauer A 10% increase in commercial property taxes may cause the speculators sitting on the 30% of properties that are vacant to either sell or invest to attract tenants. Logan is a major nightlife destination and is on the cusp of being a major retail destination if they get it right.
@JGrantGlover This seems like you are implying the closure of this station caused the buildings to be demolished which seems like a stretch. The walk to the California or Kedzie stops on the Green line, which are both still open, is only 5 minutes in either direction from Sacramento.
@stevevance I'm a big fan of ditching gas lines and going full electric but I don't like to greenwash how clean our electricity is. Over 27% of our power is from gas power plants and 35% from coal. We have work to do before we can say there's no CO2 emitted from electric.
@Noahpinion Went 100% heat pump, no backup in Chicago. Last year at -15f the house was still at 68f. Now that I have lived with them I will always give the advice - to go for it, they are amazing - but also get an individual outdoor unit for each zone - it’s the only way.
@chicagobars@chicago Chicago has an estimated 400,000+ lead service lines that are poisoning the children of this city. What is your plan to ensure that these lead service lines are replaced in all affected homes and what is the number of lines you will commit to being replaced your first year?
@foxyjewishmama Central Park in NYC is always packed because the park is built around residences. Grant Park is a tourist attraction - very few people who live in Chicago have easy access so they don't go. We need large impressive parks for the people here. Where they live.
@stevevance Much harder to accomplish when you have winter and gas furnaces are the standard mode of heating. I'm doing a combustion free build right now and it has been eye opening of hard this is to get done in Chicago
@chi_streets In theory this sounds like a great idea but I worry about Chicago succeeding in execution. Last year they didn’t bother plowing my street after the last big storm, if the city falls behind on sidewalks and no one bothers shoveling then the problem gets worse for the disabled
@epellefsen@JasonBedrick The average CPS teachers salary is around $79,900 and the salary plus benefits is $106,600. These figures are based off of the publicly available data on https://t.co/0H5rgSfZVt. Your $65,000 figure is based off of all employees for CPS, not teachers.
@AldermanLaSpata@AldermanLaSpata now that @chicagosmayor has secured $288 million in federal funds for lead pipe removal and other water issues, should the residents who live along this project expect to have their lead service lines replaced with this water main?
@NateSilver538 Claw back the last Covid stimulus checks. Surely there is something in the tax code that could allow something like that. This policy would be effective and potentially legal with an appropriate enforcement body attached.
@BillKristol@HotlineJosh Simple solution: claw back the last stimulus payment for anyone not vaccinated by October. We paid people because of the pandemic, let’s get a return for that investment in making sure it ends.
