How many people do you know who live in Englewood? I'm trying to understand where you developed your knowledge of the community.
Are you arguing that private money doesn't often follow public money? Certainly the public money that built the 606 and the Riverwalk helped lay the groundwork for significant private investments. In my experience, being near a CTA/Metra stop increases property value.
Statements like yours are just as useless as the idiocy DSA spews. You both act like there are only two options: All Government or No Government. Meanwhile, what history has really shown us is that public money does some things better than private money (healthcare, military, R&D, transportation and education). You can accept that and still be a capitalist.
