I have entirely way too many questions that seem like they should have common sense answers. A lot of them pertain to public transportation, but they're still important to me:
Why isn't there any security on the CTA? There's always reckless kids on the cars harassing anybody and everybody. And as I've mentioned before, my mouth tends to get me in trouble. I've definitely barely avoided getting into fights with these kids, but I never start anything. I can only be provoked for so long. They need to stop instigating. Or better yet, just get off the train.
Where are all these new taxes going? What are they going towards? As far as I'm concerned, they should all go towards CPS. No more new streets where they aren't necessary and no more huge parks that aren't raking in the proposed profits.
What is it that's really attractive about Chicago? We have so many problems, I really don't see why anybody would want to move here. I mean, staying here is a whole other story--this is home. But for somebody to move here in the midst of all this? Why??
If people are so against the fare-hikes on the CTA, why don't they just boycott it? That would do something, right? I mean this is how I see it: LA gets a lot more public funding than Chicago. But that's because there's not a whole lot of people riding it, so they need to make it look appealing to get people to actually ride it. Chicago, on the other hand, we'll ride on anything. So even if they train is rundown and falling apart, they know they'll still get some business. Maybe if we show them that they really need to fix the situation by boycotting it, we'll actually see some changes.
Why is there ALWAYS some sort of construction going on? Will we never be happy with what we have?
How does such a big city with high taxes already have so many big financial problems?
At this rate, it seems like we're going to go into a big depression. Please don't tell me I'll have to move to another city! Ahhh!
