@TheTransitmtl Buddy, a legal street racing event, is no different than a music festival. The people going there by car are at fault here.

@TranceFur The removal of neighborhood race tracks led to an increase of illegal street racing. It's both common sense for why it is and is statistically true.

@jackieknits61 I think watching Bladed Angel's video on stop closing race tracks would be a good perspective to view the issue from.

@jackieknits61 The only way to remove congestion is to get them suburbanites to density and not be car dependent. Encourage the use of public transportation. Also, illegal street racing caused by you guys denying racers a safe haven to race their cars, forcing them to do it illegally.

@naurrr Buddy, the Canadian wildfire smoke literally occured way before the race started. I know this because I was practicing soccer in like June at NTA Jones track and turf field. Also, if you're complaining about car exhaust, go to the suburbs and see how bad car usage is over there. You're a car user yourself since you complain about congestion and cannot drive around Grant Park you hypocrite. Be a real city dweller and know how to use public transit.

I wish more people stopped supporting wide suburbs and pushed for more density so that they can walk. As a result we lower the obesity crisis in America and our finances would be freed up not needing a car.

@naurrr Stop complaining about congestion and do what cities were always meant to be. Which is to be walkable. You got feet and public transportation in Chicago going to Grant Park. Say otherwise then you're just telling me you don't live there.

Is it just me or many of the people commenting here don't know that CTA exists?

@Mrhalligan39 trains exsist. CTA needs more funding and support and people need to be less car dependent. Suburbs need to be more dense and self sufficient to lower car dependency. Less cars mean busses do their job better, less carbon getting pumped into the air, less car related accidents, freed up finances from car maintenance and ownership, and more. Plus, the government can get more revenue and reinvest into the community.

@Mrhalligan39 the idea I propose is literally what urban planners of top cities in the world are doing.

@ksteinwand6744 He's a NIMBY and probable hypocrite. Prob one of those people that moved into an area where a racetrack was built in the middle of nowhere, so nobody complains and people like him move in close to the racetrack and complain.

@DetroitMicroSound There was polish, hungarian, and a bunch of languages for NASCAR to view in. I only know this because NBC released a video of people commentating on a crazy last lap battle in NASCAR.

 @728huey sounds like a cultural issue

@TK-mf5in Formula E is a sin to whatever city hosts it.
1
@Cold_Cactus Because you willingly gave up on it. Many people unwillingly gave up racing on race tracks.
1
@Mrhalligan39 Nah, because you be seeing car dependent LA undergoing serious homelessness.
1
@Mrhalligan39 it's not the same people, LA is a very different city compared to Chicago setup wise. Notice how Californian cities in general are just big suburbs. Which is why homelessness is way worse there than in Chicago. Then you got Europeans building very densely and their homelessness rates are way lower than the U.S.

@Mrhalligan39 What exactly is the bad policy that you say is bad?

I WANT A WEMBLY

@loganaurora your fault for not running CTA.

@nicoleskorupsky1007 Your concerns are right, but you have plenty of months to plan around that. As a Chicagoan living in the Chinatown area, the race is fine even though I attend to work downtown. What I see more as a pressing matter is Chinatown. Tourism flooded the area and is being treated with little respect from lots of littering. Your concerns hold little weight when you can change your routine for a couple of weeks with little cost. In fact, public transit or biking is cheaper than owning a car. Public transportation is a stink, but it's still an excellent way to get around the city. If you live in the City, you have an obligation to use public transportation or bike. If you use a car, you contribute to congestion and traffic on daily work trips. I know suburbs exist, but they dug themselves into that hole because of the lack of density and because things are far away. Public transit sure is crowded, but at least it moves on a schedule, except for busses kinda. You also have bikes and feet. Bus operation is impacted by car congestion. Public transportation needs an upgrade, and more streets must be narrowed for more efficient bus operations. Chicago was bulldozed for the car.

@nicoleskorupsky1007 And guess what, does this race impact the entirety of America? Do people in Tornto, Long Beach, New York, Miami, Detroit, and many other areas complain so much about it? Think about the city selection, what's a similarity they all got. Of course not, because they got the decency to plan around it and use their city's strengths. The event only impacts us for a short period of time, and the delays it causes can be worked around us pretty easily. You, are just lazy.

@SLHJR0390 Guranteed Rate Field's neighborhood have a bunch of families outside local businesses having a watch party. I think the issue is the lack of connectivity to the sport being played. Many people just don't like baseball as much and it's shifted towards Basketball and now Soccer.

 @italianbeefslayer for me it's nothing cuz I got the coveted sticker on my windshield.
1
 @jacecomp I think you're lying because driving down there from Chinatown, it's a pretty safe area.
1
@jacecomp Literally the neighborhoods that surround Guranteed Rate Field are mostly middle class white people and first generation Americans.
