I build robots, complain about Chicago’s mass transit, and do gay stuff. Sometimes all three at once

My dream for Chicago's next decade are 10+ neighborhoods just like Lakeshore East

If Chicago can successfully transform these vacant lots by 2035, not only would we completely solve our budget problems but I seriously think we could try and reclaim our title of America's second city

Finally, it can take advantage of the massive amount of development going on in and around Goose Island and Ukranian Village

Also from @jgrantglover.bsky.social, Chicago Avenue is one of the densest in the city:

From @jgrantglover.bsky.social, the residents along Chicago Avenue has some of the largest %s of homes with 0 cars or just one car.

We should initiate this project by doing small, test lines to build up Chicago's institutional knowledge and make procurement easier. The first line I think should be the Chicago line, because of rates of car owners, density, and proposed construction.

Need the next CTA head to propose cut-and-covering every single N-S arterial west of the river (Halsted, Ashland, Western, Kedzie, Pulaski, and Cicero) and E-W arterial (Chicago, N., Fullerton, Belmont, IP, Roosevelt, & Cermak) to make Chicago's train network the best in the world

Now that Dorval's gone I'm reupping my modest proposal for fixing Chicago's transit deserts: The BLOOP (bigger Loop).

Hits all the major deserts with dense potential (Ukrainian Village, West Town, Goose Island, Streeterville, Lakeshore East, the 78, United Center area)
