[the urban politician]

I think it was in 2015 it was declared that the Loop had its highest employment since they've been keeping records. There have been no signs yet of a recession and no major company defections thus I would presume those numbers are only continuing to climb.

When the doomsayers predict an apartment glut I often wonder if they are assuming that all other factors are remaining the same. Job growth downtown is continuing to fuel the demand. But, of course, I'm sure they are taking this into account--they aren't idiots.
