The Google stuff is good news - hopefully Chicago gets it or something sizable. I have to wonder if this has any influence on Amazon by knowing that Google is seriously considering Chicago for an office of that size. I'm hoping Sterling Bay knows something by adding all this office space there - not to say that if it went to Chicago it would be in the West Loop, but it would at the same time make sense to increase their already sizable footprint there.



Going back to the foreign born stuff here is the totals for India versus China by city. India is more uniform over the suburbs than China here. All together, 33 cities in Illinois outside of Chicago have India born populations of at least 1000. For China that is only 7 cities outside of Chicago. Of the 83,755 people who were born in China who live in Illinois, 44.6% live in the city of Chicago. For India, of the 138,653 people who live in Illinois and were born in India, only 14.1% live in the city of Chicago.
