A few nights ago I was taking a connecting flight in Chicago and there was a layover and I had to rent a hotel room for the night. When I taking an uber to the hotel I saw something strange, there was this huge open field right in the middle of downtown, it must have gone on for miles, I couldn't see the end of it. Why does America complain about there being a housing shortage when there's literally room right there to build cheap affordable public housing in the east side of Chicago? Completely insane, that's your brain on capitalism, hope I never have to step foot in shitcago again!

    I've only been to Chicago a few times in the winter so I never got to go to the parks but I've heard they're good. With that said Chicago does have a shitload of land undeveloped to the east of it. It just goes on for miles and you can't see the end of it. Why isn't Chicago building on this land, not even plant a few trees?
