Just in => A quarter-million Chicago homeowners couldn't afford to sell if they wanted to chicagobusiness.com/residential-re…
More than a decade after the housing crash, when many cities' housing markets are years into another boom, a new report shows how far behind real estate values in Chicago have fallen. chicagobusiness.com/residential-re…
Among the nation's 10 largest metro areas, the Chicago region had the largest percentage of homeowners who were "seriously underwater" on their mortgages at the end of the third quarter. chicagobusiness.com/residential-re…
More than 260,000 homes are seriously underwater in the Chicago area, according to property information service Attom. It's by far the largest number of underwater homes in a single metro area; the second-largest is in New York, where about 172,000 homes are seriously underwater.

"the closure was due to the financial pressures of keeping a large table-service restaurant running in San Francisco. Staff shortages, higher operating costs, and increased rent were all factors"

San Francisco is at a tipping point and city leaders and CEOs better start acting
You can't have restaurants and schools and auto repair clinics and retail stores if the people who work at those places can't afford to live w/in 2 hrs of city.
The key more than any other thing is housing. We need more housing, especially more truly affordable (not just below market) housing.

This is confused in a bunch of ways. First, if the metric is “percentage of appeals taken by SCOTUS that yield reversal,” which that 79% reflects, then it’s not true: two other circuits had higher reversal rates in the period that stat is drawn from. politifact.com/punditfact/sta…
More importantly, the 9th circuit is huge. It hears many more cases than any other circuit. And, as a very general rule, SCOTUS doesn’t take a case unless there’s a decent chance of reversal on face. They don’t review uncontroversially correct rulings.
Which is why the average reversal rate is around 70%. But since SCOTUS only takes a tiny handful of cases each year, that’s still an infinitesimal fraction of the cases decided by any given circuit court in any given year. As in, maybe a dozen out of thousands.

Hello Chicago! Police have closed the Dan Ryan expressway in order to make the point that protesters shutting down the freeway is bad.
This of course has made me late for the protest in which nobody will be allowed to shut down the expressway

As good as it is that the House rejected the Securing America's Future Act (Securing it for whom? From whom?), it's absurd that 193 Republicans voted for the most anti-immigrant bill in a century. Only 41 voted no & 5 did b/c it wasn't anti enough! clerk.house.gov/evs/2018/roll2…
This means roughly 85% of Republicans are firmly in the anti-immigrant camp. And “anti-immigrant” and “in a century” are not exaggerations. Forget illegal immigration. This bill would have cut *legal* immigration by nearly 40% almost immediately cato.org/blog/house-gop…
It would have voided the applications of more than 3 million people who have waited for the opportunity to immigrate to the United States legally for more than a decade, and in many cases, more than two decades (pp. 15-17).

@brandiKruse I did not peruse your timeline to discover a particular tweet you may be tweeting to, but I will offer a debate on your tone...

Part of "bridging The Divide" is recognition of other's positions without disparagement. In absence of an opportunistic, 1/10
party-line-planned, political soapbox, the grandstanding subterfuge imploring a dire emergent humanitarian border catastrophe is Warrantless, and does nothing to "bridge the divide," nor does it advance an extension of a good faith determination to resolve this long-term, 2/10
ages-old, unresolved "congressional" stonewalling crisis. In consideration of those points, in consideration of the City of Seattle's proclaimed urgent need for additional tax funding to address our own emerging and growing crisis' here at home, some consider the drugs, 3/10
