Look I get you want as many headquarters to locate downtown as possible, and I also like that idea. But Chicago needs to put most of it's attention into getting companies from other states and countries. The city is encouraging and trying very hard to get companies to move from the suburbs. Since we are in a free market that is fine, but it is not a net gain for the Chicago area when they move.

I think Chicago has to build more fast-growing innovative companies from the ground up if the city every want to achieve real economic expansion.
