Okay, so your 311 calls are saying what we all feel.
### Your 311 calls are basically screaming about the same old stuff
Nah nah nah, let me explain: the latest 311 service requests are in, and it's like, Chicagoans are still stuck with the same headaches. The top complaint, after "information only" calls, is "Aircraft Noise Complaint" with 9,751 requests. Almost ten thousand people are calling about planes flying over their heads! You hear it, right? Whether you’re near Midway on the Southwest Side or up north near O'Hare, that noise is constant.
And then, mi gente, guess what's number three? "Pothole in Street Complaint," with 2,805 requests. Seriously? It's April, and we're still talking about potholes. You drive down any street, like on Ashland or Western, and it feels like you’re doing an obstacle course.
* Aircraft Noise Complaint: 9,751 requests
* Pothole in Street Complaint: 2,805 requests
* Graffiti Removal Request: 2,027 requests
The city is patching up roofs and building new garages, according to the latest development permits, but people are still dealing with the basics. Like, imagine trying to sleep through constant plane noise, and then you hit a pothole on your way to work. It’s a quality of life issue, you know? What are we paying taxes for if not for smooth streets and some peace and quiet? We gotta keep an eye on how the city plans to actually *fix* these recurring issues, not just log them.
Chi-Town on the wire — you already know.
