Okay so, you won't believe what's happening with our streets.

### Your Streets Are Taking a Beating

Nah nah nah, let me explain: the latest 311 data, it's like, *really* telling us something about where the city's at. Remember how you're always dodging those potholes on Ashland, right? Well, turns out, you're not alone. Our folks here in Chicago made over 2,000 requests for "Pothole in Street Complaint." Two *thousand*, mija! That's a lot of damaged rims and busted suspensions.

And it's not just the potholes. People are calling 311 about "Aircraft Noise Complaint" over 8,600 times. That's a lot of planes flying low over people's homes, making it hard to sleep, hard to concentrate. Like, I get it, O'Hare is a major hub, but at some point, residents gotta get some peace and quiet, no?

* Pothole in Street Complaints: 2,067

* Aircraft Noise Complaints: 8,651

* Graffiti Removal Requests: 1,790

Meanwhile, the city's busy approving a bunch of Express Permits for things like roof replacements and tuckpointing. Good for those folks getting their homes fixed up, but it makes you wonder if the city's attention is in the right place, you know? Like, we’re patching up roofs but our streets are still falling apart.

What does this mean for us? It means we gotta keep calling 311. We gotta keep making noise. Because if we don't, they'll just keep focusing on the easy stuff while our neighborhoods literally crumble.

Chi-Town on the wire — you already know.
