[the urban politician]

Chicago just ain't a plaza kind of town. It's not in the city's DNA. It's a city of parks, waterfronts, and buildings. Who cares? I mean...who...really...should care about this? So what if we can't be like Paris? Paris can't be Chicago either. Chicago is one of the most miserable cities on earth according to a recent article, so people are too miserable to sit around and feed pigeons. Besides, plazas downtown attract their share of homeless people, and why on God's green earth would I want to hang out next to them?
