Default Chicago's Most Important Open-Space Issue in 20 Years

Chicago Carless writes --

"CTA chair Carole Brown acknowledged the comments; Gigi Pritzker acknowledged the comments; south side Reverend Michael Pflegler acknowledged the comments; the mayor's press secretary, Jackie Heard, acknowledged the comments. Comments like:

Why don't they move the museum to the South Side?
Don't bus strangers in.
And my personal favorite...
Will the children going to the museum be allowed to use Grant Park's playground?"

The comment about the museum visitors using the local park was rhetorical, the families in the area are worried they will be displaced by the hordes of visitors. See: Moms vs. mayor :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Neighborhoods

Also, regarding bussing people in, that was another comment that was twisted, it was in regards to the Children's Museum bussing in people to shut out neighborhood residents from what was supposed to be a community meeting, see
