I'm from San Diego, have lived all over the U.S. and overseas, but I'd rather live in Chicago in a bungalow. The most beautiful home I have ever seen🌺❤️
I suggest a multi-airport approach connected by high speed rail lines much like London has planned to but beyond a few separate train lines never did... Boeing Field downtown should also be part of that as a City Airport for direct local/regional flights using battery electric, hydrogen or hybrid aircraft... You know, like the ill-fated Zunum Aero that successfully sued Boeing recently for financial fraud for stealing design/trade secrets from the joint venture...
Chicago has so many potentials to build more super tall buildings along the lake from south loop to uptown. I would love to see that happen one day. A view of the lake in your living room would be amazing.
No to LSD, it’s supposed to be a park, not cut off from the city. I was just on the lakefront yesterday and tried to go back in my wheelchair and trying to get through the viaduct is such a pain with how steep and narrow they are.
Highways should never built inside any city. Especially when it block the direct pedestrian access to a lake. It should be completely removed, and replaced by a 2+2 lane arterial road and tram tracks. A regional train line is also an option which runs to the end of the suburbs.
I am happy as clams the 78 and Lincoln yards are not being built. These corrupt projects do nothing but drain the city of tax dollars that would be spent elsewhere and these boondoggle will surely increase taxes and never live up to the hype. Cities need to move on from dystopian projects like these playgrounds for the elite that will do nothing for the average city resident and invest in neighborhoods that are already great but not gentrified. The 78 and Lincoln Yards are everything that is wrong with urban real estate these days and I would hope projects like these never get built anywhere in western world. They are a scam and should be codified and made illegal.
All this while gangs of youths descend upon certain parts of downtown wrecking havoc, but they're only kids looking something to do says the new useless mayor.
Why do we need it, really? Just for bragging rights? I think, we are way over this stage of development as a city/country. Let cities that have more money than common financial sense build those and pay our Chicago architecture firms to do this ). What we need to do now to make sure any new building is fitting harmoniously into existing skyline. One supertall of 2500+ will stick like a sore thumb and will make the rest of the skyline look diminished in comparison.
We can still be proud that the tallest buildings in the world are designed by Chicago architecture firms. As for building the tallest here - we are way past bragging era, now everything depends on if it makes financial sense. If it does not, nothing will be built, case in point: Chicago Spire.
I build a ballpark every morning when I put on my boxers. Sadly, no one is flocking to visit. Anyway, there’s a reason the most beloved stadiums/ballparks are all ones which have unique designs that were shaped organically by their surroundings PS - I like your videos. Hopefully, you continue to produce them.
My favorite are gray stones. Off topic, but it’s crazy that coyotes live and thrive among these urban bungalow areas. Those things can survive anywhere.
If they do anything, they should create something like the High Line along the water, but unlike the HL which exploits a defunct elevated rail line, the long park/walkway should incorporate a slender, quiet rail system with low profile rail cars that plugs the gap in transportation along the lakefront and also allows tourists to easily access our museums, beaches, etc.
I love LSD’s narrow lanes. Let’s stop making everything wider for braindead drivers. We also don’t want a massively wide concrete eyesore fronting our beautiful skyline.
You should keep at it. New RU-vidrs always go through a period of extremely slow growth and then suddenly you’ll begin growing by a thousand subscribers per week (assuming you’re uploading content regularly).
1000M has about as much character as O’Hare Airport (I.E., none). It’s too bad the Spire was never built. Its design was very pretty. Instead of a new tallest building, let’s build a massive dome over the entire city and make a real life version of the Truman Show.
My great great grandmother single handedly dug the entire tunnel to 2-mile crib. She was paid 2 polishes with grilled onions per hour. She also invented the crib walk and made sure to keep it gangsta at all times.
I think Glencoe or some adjacent town has won the best tasting tap water award multiple times (however the hell that is judged or if it’s at all legit).
As a Chicago native, I believe the city should deny a building permit for the proposed Tribune East tower. It is much too tall for its site near the Chicago River, and it will destroy the landmark vista of the Wrigley building and Tribune Tower.
I feel like LSD’s biggest issue (for the public) is the safety. The excessive water on the road, tight curves and fast moving traffic definitely makes it a little daunting to drive, I hope something can be done as far as making the road a little safer.
The designer is probably afraid of the attention the tallest building in the city would get. People would debate if the design is worthy of being the tallest building. All of the press the building would get if it was the tallest would be a dream come true for an investor and the project would likely get built much faster.
I enjoy your videos buddy! Just keep being you and don’t resort to plagiarism like so many RU-vidrs! Seriously man, thanks for the videos. Keep em coming
Please keep in mind that we don't have high speed rail system because the major airlines don't like competition. So, go figure. I fully agree that air travel should connect long distances and high speed rail to cover distances of 2-300 miles.
Sydney had the Sydney Opera House built as the iconic landmark of Sydney in 1973 during the golden age of observation towers. The iconics of New York City, the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building were built in 1886 and 1931. Both those structures have more than one observation deck real high up relative to their location to the ground of the structure. Furthermore, tall ferris wheels have become a trend since the London Eye was built as a modern icon of London in 1999. Examples include the Singapre Flyer in Singapore built in 2008, the High Roller in Las Vegas built in 2014, and the Seattle Great Wheel in Seattle built in 2012,
