Lucas S. - Fund Chicagoland Public Transit!

Couple of my classmates did a final project on noise levels in a different context and they found it incredibly difficult to find data, seems like a data gap that needs filling.

Would love to see Chicago Sate grow. Increasing the capacity for another great and significant size Chicago university, this time on the far south side, would do wonders to make college accessible for Chicagoans. Not to mention this pairs well with the new Metra and CTA transit investment nearby!

Illinois legislators Sen. Mike Simmons and Rep. Hoan Huynh discuss funding strategies to help prevent Chicagoland transit from "going off the rails like a crazy train." 🚌 🚃 🚉 🎤 🎸 🎵

Today at the ribbon cutting for CTA’s brand new 100% accessible Red line stations, Senator Simmons made the call clear: it’s time for legislators to get back to Springfield NOW for a special session and fully fund public transit!

We can’t wait! We have to get this done now!

Loving the new L stations that opened with the completion of Phase 1 of the Red/Purple Modernization project! Hoping to see continued investment in transit all across Chicago, starting with closing the fiscal cliff as soon as possible!

Great to see investment in Chicago public transportation! Next up, the Red Line Extension! Bringing rapid transit to the far south side!

Four rebuilt Red Line stations opened in Uptown and Edgewater today, delighting neighbors who have dealt with construction for years.

the results of this ADU support petition will be given to the Chicago zoning committee on Monday morning, so sign it and ask three fellow Chicagoans to sign it by Sunday night. #AccessoryDwellingUnits #BuildMoreHomes

Coupling this with the stories about the dramatic rise in home value in Illinois is very depressing as someone who does not own their own home yet. So much work to be done.

We are quite frankly on the verge of a nationwide collapse in public transportation.

If you live in this district, please take this survey today.

And ask the representative for a luxury SUV tax!!!

If you live in district 12 and care about public transit funding please fill out this survey. Margaret Croke has some pretty bad instincts when it comes to transportation and need to be told what's important.

We’ve got to use every tool in the toolbox to address our housing crisis. That includes building more housing, and reforming outdated building codes.

I’m running for State Senate to be that fighter for housing in Illinois.

The Club World Cup has surpassed my wildest expectations for the kinds of results we’d see, what a tournament!

Fluminense, who sit sixth in the Brazilian Serie A, knock the recent Champions League finalists, Inter, out of the #FIFACWC.

A late goal from Hercules sealed the victory, and their place in the last eight - look what it meant to the players and fans alike...

20th century and earlier I should say!

In planning school we take a class about basically all of the 20th century fad planning trends in the United States and like half of them are this and they were all massive failures.

In public + legislative talk about the fiscal cliff some are saying it’s not just the state’s responsibility and the Chicago area should tax itself to pay for transit operations. As our @rtachicago.bsky.social Chairman explains in the Daily Herald, we already do! www.dailyherald.com/20250626/col...

This will be one of the first places I go when the Red Line extension opens!

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

Jackson Potter and Kate Lowe: Public education and transit benefit Chicagoans but aren’t being fully funded Fully funded public schools and public transit are fully possible in Illinois.

"We’re not surprised to see elites disingenuously talk about reform and mismanagement in education and transit...policies favoring the rich get a free pass while services that benefit many like public schools + transit face attack." @kateontransport.bsky.social www.chicagotribune.com/2025/06/24/o...

Chicago company manufactures new homes, makes home ownership more affordable Tim Swanson, founder of Inherent Homes, has found a way to keep costs down for both his company and families.

Chicago-based Inherent Homes is delivering new housing to the West Side, replacing long-vacant lots with homes in a price range attainable for first-time homebuyers. 👏

Glad to see mention of multi-family homes in this article! Finding a way to build 2-4 flats like this could really be a big deal!

Cannot wait for some real transit-oriented-soccer on the riverfront!
