Wealthy investors again pushing for construction of the Spire

Tony Miselli


     The Chicago spire has been a dream of rich folks who want to see Chicago home to the tallest building in the Western Hemisphere.

 This proposal makes news from time to time as some disagreement who will oversea the development continues in some bankruptcy court. The fact that some people actually think  a 150 story building 2000foot luxury condo building should be built a a price tag of a billion and a half is a joke. Obviously most units would be empty and most owned by blood sucking foreign owners. If this building is ever built it would be a travesty when there are other pressing issues in this city and country and finding rich mostly foreign investors to own and hold property they will never reside is a scam that needs to end. The spire would come to symbolize where business leaders priorities are for funding projects while they underfund schools ensuring those born here and not into extreme wealth could ever consider owning a condo. For many major cities this seems like a strategy to ensuring their cities and mostly skyscrapers are filled with a certain class high above and away from those who toil in real labor for their income. Weakening public schools and creating charter ones to educate the kids of foreign elites in our cities who reside temporary is more of a concern for today's city leaders and mayors. Rich people and the property companies that escape taxes only care for producing luxury homes for a few instead of quality housing for all. The spire remains a big hole in the ground from the lunacy of the people who want Chicago to be all skyscrapers. Skyscrapers of this magnitude is just complete nuts and would always be in debt and it is no wonder that the two companies at try to bring this building are bankrupted con artist fuckers. These corporations that bring out these proposals should have no access to creditors and only are able to get these projects thanks to crony capitalist hold on much of our local governments.The spire would make an attractive target for potential terrorists and many would welcome the idea of this tower coming down like the World Trade Center.
