Chicago New Liberals @chicago.cnliberalism.org · 19/03/2025The service is inconsistent and has lost rail operators. The CTA needs to put forth schedules it actually thinks it can hit bsky.app/profile/acan... 010

It is one of just 2 states in the country that have such a restriction. Next stop: house floor! #HB3604 #twill 5396
Chicago New Liberals @chicago.cnliberalism.org · 19/03/2025Dorval Carter was allowed to mismanage the agency for years because he promised to secure RLE funding. Now the project has balloooned in costs, is strapping the agency with debt, and is going to hamstring basic maintenance and improvements for years to come 050

Chicago New Liberals @chicago.cnliberalism.org · 15/03/2025Finally, we’re proud to support the People Over Parking Act, that eliminates parking minimums near public transit hubs. Both residential and commercial developments are hamstrung by burdensome parking requirements, especially in areas already well-connected with transit. 162
Chicago New Liberals @chicago.cnliberalism.org · 15/03/2025The second is the Local Accessory Dwelling Units Act. This greatly expands the rights of Illinoisans to build additional housing units on their property. These additional units help families live closer together, alleviate high housing costs, and provide greater freedoms to homeowners. 152
Chicago New Liberals @chicago.cnliberalism.org · 15/03/2025The first bill, the Affordable Communities Act, stops municipalities like Chicago from using onerous regulations or fees to prevent the development of 2-8 unit buildings. No more making developers jump through hoops to build housing that’s already allowed by law. 172

Chicago New Liberals @chicago.cnliberalism.org · 06/12/2024First time watching and I’m wondering why they’re still on trying to figure out their mission statement? 000
Chicago New Liberals @chicago.cnliberalism.org · 05/12/2024These land-use changes would be huge in Chicago. Especially with the budget battle ongoing, this would be a win-win way of generating more tax revenue 030
Chicago New Liberals @chicago.cnliberalism.org · 05/12/2024Was curious about utility rooms and it looks like those are exempted. 000
Chicago New Liberals @chicago.cnliberalism.org · 04/12/2024Oh I think your proposal would absolutely be more popular than Johnson randomly throwing out tax proposals to try to make his budget add up. But once we’re past this budget battle, there will be an actual chance to make the case for the tax, so I’m speculating about what that battle looks like 010
Chicago New Liberals @chicago.cnliberalism.org · 04/12/2024But much of that focus was on the fact that the MTA had already spent over half a billion on implementing the tax. You’d also expect the earmarking to be even less popular in a region where 4x the population commutes via car than transit 100
Chicago New Liberals @chicago.cnliberalism.org · 04/12/2024I don’t think the earmarking was helpful for getting it passed in NY FWIW. Bundling the policies in that way gives the perception of picking winners and losers 100
Chicago New Liberals @chicago.cnliberalism.org · 03/12/2024The Red Line Extension is expensive (and getting moreso) while service along the existing system remains shoddy. It raises the question of why this was such an organizational focus in the first place 010

Chicago New Liberals @chicago.cnliberalism.org · 30/11/2024Should every government agency be profit-maximizing? Not necessarily. But they do need a clear mission statement. It focuses the organization and improves accountability. Too many “priorities” mean more process and more ways for leaders to duck responsibility 110
