Unfortunately Salesforce leasing more space downtown will just be a drop in the bucket, Chicago has added like 45,000 tech jobs since 2010 but it still lags in many growth metrics overall. What the city needs are some transformational changes to top the outflow of lower and middle class residents from the South and West sides.
