Your City's Noisiest Problems Are Not What You Think
Okay so, Chi-Town on the wire — you already know. We got the latest from City Hall, and let me tell you, what people are actually complaining about? It’s wild. Like, you think it’s gonna be potholes, right? Or maybe rats, because come on, it’s Chicago.
Nah nah nah, let me explain. The number one thing people called 311 about? It wasn't about a broken streetlight or even a garbage cart, although those are still up there. It was "311 INFORMATION ONLY CALL" with 13,760 requests. Think about that for a second. People are just calling to *ask* for info, not to complain about something broken! But the *real* kicker? Aircraft Noise Complaints. Over 10,000 requests. Diez mil! That’s more than graffiti, potholes, and rats *combined*. I mean, if you live near O’Hare or Midway, you get it. But it shows you what’s really grinding people’s gears.
* **Top 311 Issues This Week:** * 311 INFORMATION ONLY CALL: 13,760 requests * Aircraft Noise Complaint: 10,362 requests * Graffiti Removal Request: 1,819 requests
Meanwhile, we got people like Nicholas Hromalik and Gerald Garcia still out there lobbying, like, what are they pushing for this week? We gotta keep an eye on those permits too, like the $28,539 roof replacement. That’s a lot of shingles.
This just shows you, what residents are dealing with day-to-day isn't always what the headlines are screaming about. We're worried about our roofs, yeah, but also the constant roar above our heads. Makes you wonder what City Hall is actually *doing* about those planes, right?
