Are there cost estimates to get all the slow zones fixed?

100%. That and our desire to glean bigger trends out of every smaller event/election is lowkey exhausting. (Then again, this is a weird bigger trend of us trying to extrapolate trends and patterns out of every singular event on a myriad of topics, which is also exhausting.)

I'm watching the results in TN-07 tonight with no expectations that the Dems will surprise flip the seat, but moreso interested in how close the gap is in the final results as an indicator of where the electorate is at.

Right like why do we all think everyone should have the same opinions about work styles and environments? And when did everyone become too weak to have the ability to be productive in an office and be around people lol

I'm honestly exhausted by the online discourse about how awful going into the office is. Have we not all agreed that it has its own pros and cons, just like being fully remote? 😫

And lulz re: Slack. I'd still choose it over Teams any day lol.

My app took 2-3 minutes to open. Metra crew gave up on checking tickets on my train car 😔

Will be interesting to see if/how these stats change the further away we are from Carter's tenure as CTA president.

I really need to go to the open house next week and just keep asking "how do you envision these highway stops to work?"

Not mine, but my mom has several allergies including her skin reacting to black rubber and nickel surfaces. A friend is allergic to just about every form of bean.

How much of this was single family homes (new vs teardown of multi family buildings) or units in larger developments? News I see about bigger buildings seem to rarely include 3+BR units.
