We aren't talking about the teacher's or police unions. We know the situations on that. Also, not all organizations raise taxes because they actually are in the red. Not saying this is the case in Chicago but it's a red herring in this case. The point being, saying "Chicago has no money to spend" is naive to how these things work. If you know how these things work as you claim, then there's no need to bring up the teacher's or police if you are talking about purchasing land for things like public parks
