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.
Some say you can receive $50K for an Edison Park (Chicago) house. ?
You are truly an idiot.
Not the smartest Reply, TB. For those of us on the “outside”, we don’t know whether you’re stating that $50k for an Edison Park house is way too low or high. Thus your verbal slamming of Eddie is quite foolish.
is this really from the onion cause everything chicago is dead going forward thank mr lightfoot
The Chicago real estate is as good as it will ever be
WOW……talk about wishful thinking !!
Corollary: What drug is the writer Dave Roeder on?
My thought exactly while reading the article. I guess it is possible that the “woke” liberals are so deluded that they learn nothing from the events of this year. I think people “virtue signal” in public, but make different choices in private where their personal lives are affected. Exhibit A- elites sending their own kids to private schools.
“Deluded” is the nice way to state it. Nothing in the article about people wanting to leave the city for many reasons, not the least is the violent crime rate. Is it on purpose that it’s difficult or impossible to find the number for annual GUN SHOOTINGS each year? Yes you can find homicide/death total, but SHOOTINGS much be 10 times higher……..can’t find it !
