Chicago is held hostage by a 75 year lease of its parking meters to Morgan Stanley, impacting public transport and alternate transportation funding.
Yet another example of how terrible privatizing public infrastructure turns out in most cases.
And how terrible cities are. And how terrible First Past the Post is, which is what enabled an incompetent mayor to rule qith impunity.
Cities are fine. Cities built around cars sucks. Cities built around people are phenomenal.
I’m going to optimistically assume that’s what they meant. Our cities fucking blow.
Yes, they do.
