ok well I guess we can dismiss the funding question because it comes from a "biased source"
the Chicago Sun Times reported that of the $850 million need for construction, they only have raised about $150 million as of august of 2021
so it would seem they do not have the funds to complete something that is currently under construction, and their own website says they need $1.6 Billion total when you include the ongoing endowment to run operations
my guess is that our local political leaders were falling over themselves to get this project started and thus put very loose guardrails in place... like so many other things this city has done with little thought like the Olympic bid, the parking meters, and the casino.
and no this is not a political rant, which you all seem to be weirdly turning it into, I just am looking to understand if the funds are going to be there or we as a city will be left with an unfinished building in a park for the next 15 years, or if we are going to have to bail them out with city funds
