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!

    Why doesn't Chicago just nationalize the land to the east of it so they can build on it? I mean there's literally nothing there. Just a prairie.
