The Urban Land Institute Chicago calls for policies to promote housing diversity, job growth and infrastructure spending, particularly in Black and Brown communities. It raised a politically fraught issue: the control Chicago’s 50 aldermen have over development projects, sometimes making citywide coordination tough. But it declined to recommend that aldermanic power be scaled back.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
