A basketball court lined with floor to ceiling windows. Let’s see how that works out.

They had to pump out 1.5 million gallons of water during excavation. A foolish man’s house is built on sand… is a perfect representation of what his presidency was to this nation.
Boondoggle, Chicago style. Think of all the illicit monies laundered by this humongous basketball court. That $1 billion could have improved literacy within Chicago community, or paid for largesse showered upon NGOs self-identifying as “migrant aid”. Or could have given Chicagoans a one time large property tax cut. Instead, city gave Obamas free public land, free city-paid infrastructure improvements, and permanent tax-exempt status for a political indoctrination center slash private basketball gym.
