Well they would have to do that to expand it no matter what.
Really I would just prefer that they completely destroy all of the suburbs adjacent to Ohare and make it really really big with like 16 runways in each direction...
Also, they need to upgrade Amtrak Hiawatha to high-speed which would make MKE equally as close to downtown as O'hare. Already it only takes about 80 minutes to get to Union Station from Milwaukee Mitchell. If they up the speed from 75 to 90, that drops to just over an hour (50 min). If they up to to 115 then its under an hour, which is about how far Ohare is from Downtown Chicago by El on a good day. 115 isn't even that far fetched, they say that its possible with the current setup, they just need to do a few more grade separation and upgrade the switches or something. It sounds far cheaper than building Chicago a new Airport. Then again that will never happen because the state wants a new airport where they can charge ticket taxes and the likes...
