Chinese investment in Chicago is still a trickle, but there is a TON we can tap there. The increase in immigration alone could really transform some of our hoods. I’m in Queens right now and it’s astounding—whole swaths have turned Chinese—you don’t see a single white person walking around for blocks.

Chicago will probably never see that much immigration, but we can still see a lot more. I’m hoping the increased internationalization of O’hare will help.
