Yea, I know Chicago is much better than 99% of the US. I just stopped in Louisville recently, and it was so un-urban in comparison.

I'm guessing the European's coming here are reacting to the tall buildings downtown. They don't have anything like that in Europe. All the people I talked to in Germany were blown away by all the skyscrapers, when I showed them pictures of Chicago. They are jealous of Chicago skyscrapers.

Yes, European cities have 1000 years of development since after the Viking raids subsided basically. Chicago only has 180 years of development so it has a long way to go yet, but the pace of development has been much faster now than from 1000-1500 for example.

Sure, Lincoln Park is very nice, and I'd love to see the rest of Chicago get there, with out the NIMBYs hopefully. I know Chicago is doing lots of good things right now and in just the last 10 years. The 78 and Lincoln yards look very promising, and look just like really nice developments in Copenhagen and Oslo.

I think if we can work on improving transit for the next 100 years that things will be very bright in Chicago. I hope Trump would get serious about investing in infrastructure on a big level like he talks about. We'd really need a big federal push of money for infrastructure, instead of giving more tax cuts to the rich and corporations.
