Here's what your city hall did while you were sleeping

Okay so— Chi-Town on the wire, you already know. Let's talk about what's happening at City Hall, because some of this stuff, like, you gotta see it.

First up, the 311 calls. The top complaint? "311 Information Only Call" with **12,353 requests**. Like, what does that even mean? People are calling 311 to ask for… 311? And right behind that, **8,498 aircraft noise complaints**. You know, for real, I'm down by Promontory Point and I hear those planes constantly, so it makes sense people are tired of it. It's just non-stop.

Then, you got the development permits. Someone's putting in a **$625,000, three-story, three-dwelling unit building** with three parking spaces. That's a big one, for real, and you gotta wonder what neighborhood that's going into and who's getting priced out. Development is good, but is it for *us*?

And the lobbyists? Michael Zalewski, Michael Synowiecki, William Burns, and Michael Daley (twice!) are all registered for 2026. These are the people pushing for things behind the scenes, and their activity always tells you who's trying to get what done in the city. We'll be watching to see what these guys are pushing for next.

Chi-Town on the wire — you already know.
