Chicago's new Zoning Ordinance, replacing the one created in 1953, takes effect today. This is huge, but there are no articles I could find in the news about it. What's the deal with that? Either way--a whole new era of development guidelines to shape the future of the cityscape has come.

The only time people care about zoning is when they are planning to make an addition to their house.

Or when they are playing SimCity.

I take it you are a bit short on brain cells?

Ahh... a typically nasty Dampyre response. But, unfortunately, it seems true this time.

It is my experience. I work for a burb, as a person who records council/committee/board meetings. I've had this job for quite a while, as it is very good money for very easy work. I have conversation with many people, including officials from various levels of local and regional government, as well as the petitioners, and interested citizens. For the most part, with few exceptions, the only time the general public ever really pays attention to zoning is when it directly effects them. That includes times when zoning can be used against an unwanted development.

If you have a different opinion, feel free to state it. I would be interested in hearing it. It would certainly be more worth-while than a pointless insult.

FYI - You really shouldn't expect much from Dampyre, no one else does.

ummmmm, ok I guess I'll try this again. Does anybody know what the major changes are?

Or should I just make some rude comment to be acknowledged? ;)
