Pro-Business in Hyde Park

Best of Chicago voting is live now. Vote for your favorites »

It wasn’t “Hyde Parkers.” Most of us didn’t have the right to vote on this proposal. It was 254 voters in the 39th precinct of the 5th ward, many of whom live in a single high-rise next door to the vacated hospital and think they are entitled to “air rights” and peace and quiet (no more ambulance sirens, either). The rest of us would like a place to put up our friends when they visit. (We don’t all have mansions). And we would like the added business from university conference-goers and all those journalists covering the prez staying in Hyde Park. I don’t fault the U. for trying to build a hotel—just for not being smart enough to outfox this petition. Why don’t you interview some other famous south-siders about the racist history of the limestone and bricks that some people don’t want replaced with a live commercial institution that provides jobs and business.

At least let the worthless little bitch know that there are other options for Domination, and while whining and complaining is not an option for My slaves, a concern for the health and safety for all involved is appreciated and cultivated.
