    DYK Chicago sold their street parking to Morgan Stanley for 75 years for $1 billion? It took Morgan 15 years to recoup their money and now it’s all profit. If Chicago wants the parking for a parade, maintenance access, etc, they have to pay.

    I would just like to be able to take the train everywhere personally… but can’t do that in the US. The apartments that do have parking don’t ever have enough if they’re “affordable” enough and the ones that have none at all are the same price anyway. Nothing makes sense right now. Nothing.
