Minimum Viable Product would be fine as a term if its initials didn’t already have a related, but very different, meaning.
"Minimum Viable Product" means it's viable, and therefore good enough in most cases. More people need to understand this.

And that’s the crux of a lot of the push back we (rightfully) see on cost bloat for things like RLE and State/Lake: it’s not about the money, it’s about what we can (or can’t) get for it.
Unchecked cost bloat means we can do fewer big things and do them less frequently. That’s all it comes down to.

If you’re in line to say the State/Lake rebuild is too expensive and the lack of an accessible, behind-the-fare-gates connection to the Red Line is a failure, STAY IN LINE!!
If you unveil a new train station and every transit nerd on this website lines up to call you an idiot, they are right.

Whether Chicago takes on municipal-level responsibility for sidewalk plowing or not, why do they not plow their own sidewalks today?

Great idea, could even use Ogden and Taylor instead of the Western Ave rail corridor to do the jog to the south.
Need to preserve space on the Altenheim for possible Loop to OHare service, but that seems doable.

I've been thinking about a Forest Park rebuild that moves to the Altenheim Line through North Lawndale before rejoining at Austin after it leaves the median.
This would replace the worst highway-centric stations with new neighborhood nodes at brownfields like the Sears site.

Recently watched a video that mentioned that the first Boeing 777 delivered (reg: N777UA) is still flying.
I looked it up and it is flying to VCV Saturday.
I’m no aviation expert, but isn’t this where they park planes for storage, and even possible retirement? Or am reading too much into this?
