To all those who work for nonprofits: I commend what you do but remember, the ‘shared sacrifice’ is not always shared by those at the top. https://t.co/FUHtOTlOfj

“Rhetoric without policy is the true failure … we rarely elevate leaders who come from the City Council and actually understand how things get done here. Governing Chicago is not theoretical. It requires fluency in budgets, departments, unions, zoning and the political tradeoffs

and she’s right

Wanna be tough-guy @SigchoFor25 trying to give off Latino John Belushi vibes - it’s not landing.

When you have no allies, you have no power.

City Council relations not in their best moment

I’m all in favor of this idea. There are so many unused and underzoned small neighborhood commercial spaces that could revitalize communities and help spur new businesses. @ChicagoDPD

A case study in how well intentioned policies have unintended consequences.

People don’t believe me when I say build 520-550 Sq. Ft. TWO-BEDROOM apartments but here you go. @bobbyfijan https://t.co/bdG9WtrYqu

This is so tone deaf, ironic and stupid. A CTU teacher wearing a nearly $2K Canada Goose jacket complaining about her property taxes and defending/promoting @ChicagosMayor’s budget for MORE tax dollars.

We can’t have vibrant, liable and affordable neighborhoods without a thriving downtown. Unfortunately, the consequence (tax bill) for a struggling, half-vacant downtown is now landing in the mailbox of those who can least afford it: lower income Chicago homeowners. The loop WAS

I’m not a fan of Mamdani or Trump but I respect that they had a meeting. I can’t imagine @ChicagoMayor ever taking a meeting like this. Sometimes, you have to put your ego aside and work with people you might hate if it gets your constituents the resources they need.

As with politicians, we shouldn’t keep them around just because they’re old. These buildings have outlived their useful life and we thank them for their service but it’s time to move on. However, I find it amusing when people say, “just move the house.” As if its some kind

Giving apartment renters the "first right of refusal" on buying 8- and 9-figure buildings is one of those ideas that may sound innocuous, but is rather NIMBY-tastic. When you add friction and uncertainty to a transaction, it makes a market less liquid (just ask D.C.!), less

So #WestLoop residents now want TWO parking spaces PER APARTMENT? WTF? “One resident from 400 N. Racine said the building provides one parking space per unit, leaving little room for households with two cars or guests.” https://t.co/K0WZhGjm1i

Even the unions won’t support @SigchoFor25’s supposed run for congress. He would need 25K signatures just to get on the ballot as an independent. “[Sigcho} reached out to the Chicago Federation of Labor and other unions last week to be considered, but was rebuffed because he

Effective leadership involves building bridges with the people you sometimes disagree with. @SigchoFor25 on the other hand is arsonist burning everything down. Nothing to see here, just more political theater by Sigcho (who was already wearing a mic).

One minor snow fall and the out-of-town “don’t tread-on me” fake army bails for warmer climate. Good riddance.
