These people don't own that property. The city should have a planning and zoning department that can construct a grand plan for city development, developers can submit plans that are then reviewed by the planning board, and everyone else can literally shut the $%@# up.
Build. Build. Build. Drown the city with supply, and watch housing prices and rents start to moderate and fall. The city will flush with new property tax dollars and we can fund all sorts of things to help our communities.
So unbelievably frustrating.  |
Though I agree with some of the sentiment, is there a feeling that developers are being constrained en masse? My sense was Chicago is compartively pro-development. And vast amounts of land sit undeveloped because of some mix of interest rates and lack of demand.
