There are few politicians that are good, but I just think Daley is <i>less bad</i> than the likely alternatives. In your opinion ,which controls that he abuses do you think favor developers in the worst ways? With regard to development, I can only think of TIFs, and subsidies, but I'm sure there are more. There are also plenty (union-lobbied building codes and other labor issues, historic preservation) that hurt developers, but you'll find things like those in most big cities. I don’t disagree.

I'm diggin' the Market Urbanism approach, but when there are controls that heavily favor developers at the expense of lower-income residents, you're not talking about a free market. Daley's a socialist, not a capitalist. Chicago could use a mayor that's more concerned with the city than his own legacy. Daley’s policies benefit a very wealthy few in Chicago.

At least until he's done grooming his son to take over... As far as I'm concerned, he can stay as long as he wants. The pandering progressive factions that would take over in his absence would tip things towards development deadlock like Boston and NY. This would wreak havoc on new development and affordability of market-rate housing. Of course, stopping new development would benefit landlords... HA! At least until he’s done grooming his son to take over…
