Walking, reading, socializing. Outdoors, hiking, gardening. Design.
Bigger families with more over bought cheaper fresh (wetter/heavier) food entailing more waste. Composting lightens the unrecyclable and now odor free garbage for easy compacting and fewer trips to alley.

Big boons for bigger families.

N95 works great.

Be sure to post a link here.Thanks.

I assume you will write about how it changes the entire household waste management paradigm? The isolation of the heaviest, wettest, smelliest, portion from the rest? Etc.

How often do you empty it?

We use a 5 gallon bucket with lid laid on top not snapped down. It gets emptied every two weeks. Only smells briefly when lid lifted to add new scraps. No refrigeration. But for us fridge real estate too valuable so no choice anyway.

Did he not have yearly doctor visits. Did the doctor not prescribe PSA (prostrate specific antigen) tests? Were the tests defective?

For me there were three treatments 20 years ago: surgery, chemo, & radiation.

The suers I believe are SFOs who have lived there many years who dont want to admit the actual urban pressures that living so close to the Lake, the el, the Metra, DLSD, 90s walk score, bike path/lanes bring.

They are suburbanites at heart.

Sullivan’s work was a synthesis of mature traditional and aborning minimalist modern.

Concrete/steel/glass was run into the ground quickly. Catching up to a neoSullivan has been too hard and perhaps only now beginning emergence.

Rahm chickened out. We needed to mount a real fight even knowing a first time would lose.

Now the urban driving culture has changed radically enough by green/red paint and concrete to blunt its ability to mount an effective opposition to a say BRT Western.

Imho.

Really? To work wouldn't they need to first massively raise the regressive rate or it’s a net loss of revenue?

Are Pritzker‘s billions a conflict of interest?

Is his support for a progressive tax performative?

What but not fall, imho.

Russia learned and now prepared for Ukraine 2014 CIA sniper false flag killing of demonstrators For instance.

Iran not Syria nor Venezuela but matureish capitalist turned socialistic society not tribal/feudal attempt at socialism.

Drove by with my eyes open.

DOTs are baffled about what to do with entire transition where Clark&Ashland split/merge there, imho. The massive volunteer gardening mesmerizes them as does sacred Veteran fountain. Add biker safety concerns - boom, their mind explodes.

Me too. Much calmer as a driver. I used to drive Granville both ways but now just west from Lakewood. Coming back is almost all Glenwood and Hood. Those two seem worse. But I’m not a ‘cut-thru.’ Used to ‘cut-thu’ west of Clark. No more. Now Devon.

Not just Granville but also streets around it: Hood, Rosemont, Glenlake, Norwood, Thome, Glenwood, Greenview, Lakewood, Wayne, Magnolia.

Has one street been somewhat improved while a number of others worsened?

That’s very likely going to be a counter argument.

Back when the CTA trains had “engineers” driving and “conductors” making station announcements and opening doors (am I remembering rightly?), the prized seats were the three looking out the other left side front window.

Sorry but taxes are for managing inequality and inflation not a revenue source.

The right knows this so they can fund their military spending via appropriation of new fiat money as needed.

I suggest you look more carefully at MMT and not dismiss it out if hand like mainstream media insists.

IMHO.

Are we talking the bike lane along Gethsemane Gardens? Where Ashland turns into Clark? Where a ton of curbs were replaced? Where a redesign of a place with tons of space needs to be done because it’s effin dangerous for bikes?

That place?

OMG. My longest flight, my first solo night landing, Chicagoish to Denverish, landed at that airport.

I thought CTA had done this kind of analysis and embarked on a gradual removal. I read a lot of the article (tldr all) maybe addressed.

Another consideration are the ongoing cementifications of the street beneath the stops to prevent washboard divits.

(I reply to you as commenters are limited.)

I see now. I’m out of the loop these days. I see we are back to the days of reactionary council wars.
