No tax money is being wasted. It’s a private development. Stop crying. The more density and foot traffic downtown the more development we will see, and there isn’t much there anyway so it’ll be nice to see something coming along

@@portcybertryx222 lmao you might wanna look closer ......my tax money is being wasted .. private my ass anything being built is taxpayer funded it's all a scam

@ Tax money is being spent on that crap apparently you have no idea how this crap works. We the tax payers paid to build the Devon tower and that crap across the highway and we pay them to stay here Look in to it🤡🌎

Because 130M m3 it still is an infinitesimal amount of displacement. Let's for example take all the ships and boats in the world let's assume that every ship is actually the largest ship in the world. The Seawise Giant. It has a water displacement of 657,019 tonnes. Now, ships and boats are different, ships are massive, boats are much smaller. About 100,000 ships in the world, about 33 million boats. Let's assume that each of those boats were actually ships and that they are all Seawise Giants. 33 million times, let's round up to 700,000 tonnes is equal to 2.3 * 10^13 tonnes. Now, the ocean is 1.4 sextillion kilograms. 1.4 * 10^18 tonnes of water. The volume calculated is 1.4e18 ton which is also 1.4e18 me of water. ⅔*5.1e14/1.5e18 = 0.00024m = 0.24mm total sea level rise. 130M m3 or 1.3 * 10^8 is about 170000x smaller than that hypothetical mass of ships, so the overall displacement would be 0.00000141176 mm of sea level rise. Infinitessimal.

It's AI

Ahhhh shit I thought the voiceover sounded too good :/ Disapointing tbh

yeah manhattans population density is also 70,000. 30,000 is the total population density of nyc.

it said it was 30,000 so that was a red flag

​@@benjaminbutcher Voiceover is good but there is def a soullessness to it

Facts but if it was China I wouldn’t have doubted it for a second. Higher chance that this happens in a random city in China rather than happening in the world’s richest city(nyc). And people still think the American system is perfect

good job we're using it for filling land

Couldn't agree more with this review!

@@GrzegorzSzyszkowski Massive project! Now, with the GEM standing 99% complete and set to open its doors in late 2024, the museum will not only showcase Egypt’s ancient past but also serve as a testament to the perseverance and ingenuity of modern engineering. We are excited to see it open and walk through its doors!

@@AmirSaudTajul The project is certainly backed by many political interests, and they will be more decisive for the project than the funding itself.

The Cta uses bombardier built trains that run on 3rd rail voltage all cta trains run on 3rd rail power. Metra is getting the stadler trains on the Beverly hills branch

You forget we live don't live in a perfect world. CTA is a political organization providing a rail and bus service. METRA is a rail service that depends upon politics to be able to keep providing its services. Two different organizations, two different structures, two different political patronages, two different labor hiring streams and hiring pools. To borrow a worn cliche, like comparing apples and oranges. METRA is a much cleaner, more **ahem** middle-class experience (they don't take s*it from those riders who don't conform by following the rules), whereas the CTA seems to be an extension of the rule of the streets. In short, the two systems that actually compete for their share of State, Federal and local 'home rule' taxation dollars to maintain their facilities and maintain their power is highly inefficient but this inefficiency is the paradigm that we have today. Is it even worth changing at this point might I ask? I doubt the mayor of Chicago would just give up power in the way you are imagining or implying. Keep in mind that these two systems are the result of capitalists using capitalism to provide a public service and turn a profit; they couldn't and what we have is a working compromise.

@@williammcghee863 this is honestly well said wow.

Found them out, eh? Perhaps a much too radical plan would be to install a "Tim Horton" type of coffee and muffin machine on each METRA Electric train , along with new equipment and more frequent schedules.

@@mic1240 Indeed. You have a good ear, Mic.

Lotta $$$ for places noone ever goes.

Montreal is dealing with a metro /subway extension of the Blue Line with 5 new stations that was promised since 1988 with the cost already over 6 billion cdn and they haven't even started construction yet which is supposed to done by 2030. When the city first built the subway back in the early 1960s it took abt 3 years and abt $136 millions to complete 3 and 26 stations. in 1966.

The outer loop proposal would have been more beneficial to the citizens of the city

@@brucebruce7816 Chicago seems to have an antiquitated system that serves only the city itself with the Loop not the suburbs imo.. Why Chicago never had a subway?.

@@oldgordo61Chicago does have subways..? Multiple of them? This is not Chicago’s problem. Even if it didn’t, elevated rail is cheaper, more accessible, and easier to maintain, without providing worse transit. (If you were wondering, Chicago’s subways are the downtown sections of the Red and Blue lines) Chicago’s problems regarding transit are decades of shrinking funding and deferred maintenance and a system only set up for a commute-to-downtown transit paradigm that post-COVID increasingly doesn’t work. If we want to give Chicago truly world class transit it will require a couple things: Orbital lines (two examples from projects that got pretty far in governmental implementation previously are the circle line and the mid city transitway) Systematic refurbishment and repairs Preferably, automatic or semi automatic running trains to help deal with the CTA’s staffing issues (even automatic systems that still require a train operator still lead to faster headways or less trains required to operate the same level of service) Better connections between L lines and each other or Metra outside downtown (things like building a better downtown core for Metra service, better integrating Metra and CTA stations + fares, or extending the brown line to the blue line) Significant expansion of bus service, both as feeders for Metra and CTA trains and as methods of getting around in their own right, including some new lines but mostly increases in frequency, reliability, and average speed through a generally higher budget, more busses, and things like bus lanes or signal priority. Not a single one of the CTA’s problems could be solved by putting our iconic lines underground. If you were going to build tens of miles of subway in Chicago, spending that time, effort, and money on simply replacing the existing system instead of adding tens of miles of new subway lines on would be a horrendous waste. But of course if one were to spend tens of billions of dollars expanding the CTA, it would be somewhat a waste and a shunning of an icon of Chicago to not build them elevated.

Was gonna say that Metra and South Shore Line both serve the South Side

@@MrProzaq there schedules are kinda bad but nowhere near as bad as the rest of Chicago.

Yea for 5.3bn they could definitely electrify the Rock Island District line. Edit: and add a branch to service exactly where this red extension goes

@TysonIke a cheaper option is adding service to the electric division

@@deadchannelxd4910 I think that would be good too. It’s just with 5bn available, spend it on something impactful and generationally important

Declining CTA ridership and declining population. Not a wise time to expand CTA.

@@deanjohnson6074 sure ok..

Cope more Wumao, your "superpower" roads collapse in on themselves like a house of cards😂

@@aarthirajaraman7453 Chinese roads and buildings still more reliable than India. Look at Odisha railway, morbid Bridge, Shivaji statue. At least China developed. India builds two roads a year they both crumble. China builds 100 and only one fails🙄🙄😁. Ratio is over 100:1. What else u expect, just look at the national IQ scores
