What Lies Beneath
Lower Wacker and Wabash, directly under some of the priciest real estate in Chicago:
Anyone else remember when Daley would send Streets and Sanitation down there and just pitch all the garbage/tents/piles into the garbage trucks? Kept downtown a lot cleaner and safer.

This city is disgusting
some of the people that live in the pricey apts mentioned are for the most part liberals and total police haters,why don't they invite the piss bums up for a chat on social justice??
That’s “Bum Island” as I dubbed it when I worked downtown. It was supposed to be a parking lot.
Braaaaaaaains!
Braaaaaaaaains!
Braaaaaaaaaaaains!
What are you gonna do? Who is going to risk civil liability by moving them without a court order?
They've gotta be somewhere.
Lower Wacker is ridiculous. In the summertime it smells so bad, you can't drive through there with you windows opened. And don't get me started on the amount of trash! And remember the scores of homeless people "relocated" from under the viaducts at Lawrence and Wilson? Well some of them have migrated to Foster, both under LSD and Ravenswood.
Rahm won’t do that. Their city ID cards may be in there!
This is what Rahm, the city council, the media
and the "community" want to see Police retirees
and widows busted down to.
Let me guess, they should all get a job?
The Mole People!!!
Ahhh . . . and at any time nite or day you can buy your recreational drug of choice at that location. So convenient for the millenials and wealthy baby boomers alike.
Just wait until Spring, when the Snow Bums return from California with Hepatitis A infections.
The Hep A epidemic has spread from San Diego to Los Angeles already.
Make sure you use your city issued protective gloves and wash thoroughly after any interactions with our disadvantaged people
Is it any wonder why the rats are as big as cats down there and number in the millions.
Maybe a crack addled bum can set all that crap on fire and cause the road to collapse just like they did in Atlanta this Summer.
Rham City they should call it... its his fault why their are so many homeless in the city. He has not did shit to help them, just shuffle the around they city like a deck of cards
With parking space as expensive as it is in big cities, why hasn't someone found a way to make money using all that space?
Ah, yes, but Daley is the Mayor who cleaned this town up and made sure that it wouldn't die like the rest of the Rust-belt cities. Rahm, on the other hand, just wants to get re-elected. Lying little cake-eater from Wilmette.
Toss all
Their shit and fence off that area - yuk
Those are retired Police officers and their families with no health care...
Hey - you can't throw that out - somewhere, there's a $12K diamond ring, an ipad, and a few other goodies that got stolen just last week!
At least the Good Lord has provided a roof over
their heads. Remember His kindness this
Christmas season. Gratitude changes everything.
Let my people go
That's a lot nicer then some of the places I could afford, on a recruits salary!
At $10,000 a square foot, that’s an expensive shit pile.
Good movie, hilarious title for the post. Although the pictures look more like a post-apocalyptic thriller. That sure is a whole lot of bum's nut-sacks in one place. You have to love all the progress made by our Progressive Democrats. I really just can't understand why we didn't get the Olympics. Hmmm, I wonder.
These asshole living on lower Wacker Dr have better hospitalization then CPD retirees , and it's free.
that is chicago values on display you heartless bunch of meanies.
those are voters dammit.
Bed Bug City, a health crisis for sure.
Put them on a one way ticket to Atlanta Ga. Go Greyhound!
That makes me proud to live in the 'Ville.
That’s ‘The Ballerina’s’ sanctuary city...
In these days no one is homeless long term unless you are either bat shit crazy or just choose to be. They ha e everything they need down there anyway so why would they leave? A do gooder truck that feeds them for free and medical truck when they are sick that comes around and even dope dealers that work down there selling their drug of choice.
I sent this on to Amazon’s corporate offices.
Move them to what was Megs field, northerly island. Could be renamed Piss Bum Isle or?
It’s cleaned EVERY Thursday !
I'm old enough to remember when they were called "bums", instead of the now politically correct "homeless".
With Trump now office for a year now look for the homeless "problem" to suddenly get noticed by the liberal media to launch more attacks on him.
Thats where you can get the new chicago city id
Nice Rahm....REAL NICE....BTW...Is that Eddie Murphy in the first photo???.I kinda wondered what happened to him....
This is the result of the ACLU pushing their stupid liberal agendas!
Common sense says send in the garbage crews with police!
But, not this raggedy ass town!
By the way, say good-bye to Amazon, Rahm you puke!
Rahm is unwilling to offend this important pool of potential voters.
Surprised the City doesn't make them get permits, kinda like reserving your space in a park.
No wonder there is such a horrendous rodent infestation in Chicago. I'm betting most have drug and alcohol addictions, the rest are mental. Once again, a burden on the taxpayers and citizens of Chicago. How come all the bleeding heart libs, reverends and priests aren't flocking there to help their destitute brethren?
They are merely seeking sanctuary from the elements in Chicago. After all Chicago is the "Sanctuary city on the lake."
Let me guess, they should all get a job?

No they should go to the south or west side where they came from.

Try the Canalport exit and entrance. We a Holiday Sweep!

Too bad the bike unit was moved to McCormick Place from Millennium Park to create Deputy Georgas personal Police Department at McCormick place. Those bike guys used to keep those bums in check having to ride past them on lower Wacker numerous times a day back and forth from their old unit at Millennium Park...Now they are in no-mans-land
There's City shelters, drive them out and force them into the shelters. Fire run there names looking for warrants and have dart the fart deal with the rest.

Too damned many of them are insane and a lot of them are "self-medicating." Others are just garden variety addicts. The best thing to do is get them mental health treatment, but the ACLU will not allow it. They have the right to be insane and crapping on the sidewalks according to the ACLU.
Just watched the news and saw Cook County Sheriffs giving out items to the people who are destroying our communities living underneath the viaducts and overpasses instead of a shelter. Anyone can argue this with me but here are some issues I witness every day: public drinking, drug using, defecating, urinating, garbage and filth strewn about, stolen carts and garbage cans, panhandling, obstructing the feeder/exit ramps, disturbances, batteries against citizens and each other, theft, criminal damage and so on. If the County is so concerned, find these individuals shelter and fund more facilities or take them home with you or let them set up camp on your block. Taxpayers' quality of life should not have this added burden and misery. I know people are in need of mental and drug rehab assistance, but why should people and there families have to be subjected to this? I don't see this going on in any affluent suburbs. Should all city residents be solely punished? Once again, whoever takes issue with my complaints regarding this nonsense: invite these people to go live on your front lawn or in your basement or shut your mouth.
Chicago is a "welcoming city" All criminals, illegals, and unproductive are welcome. Tax payers aren't welcome.
Is this the sanctuary where Mayor Rahm puts all his illegal aliens and criminals?
J.J.
"Kept downtown a lot cleaner and safer." By scattering them to other parts of the city. And these days maybe the 5th Floor should worry more about keeping health centers and shelters open than building bike lanes.
I got towed last weekend and had to go down to the auto impound to get the ride. The Uber driver gave us a tour of what lies just feet below million dollar properties.
It was descending into one of Dantes rings of hell.
Looks like the pre-sale line at the Apple Stowe.
Looks like Haiti before and after the Clinton’s left.
Heck, Slab City even looks better.
Bet that Chollie Willams never gets a rat complaint from down there... its’all good.
Rahm’s Welcoming Chicago.
Nice Lighting on the picture though.
Hey Rahm make sure you show the photo of Lower Wacker to Jeff Bezos he will be looking for good help when he moves Amazon to Chicago.. ♠️
Leave the future voters and bused in protesters alone.
Looks like some shit from a post apocolypse movie or armageddon shit.
Hospitals-shelters-low rent spaces....ALL HAVE RULES. These people don’t live by any rules. Druging-drinking and “buggery” need not apply.sad , but true fact.
Actually i live on the South Side, do not send them our way, there are a few nice hoods left!
I work down there. We and many others complain to the alderman and his response is that "It's not a crime to be homeless" So there they stay. To the person that said they are cleared out every Thursday = BS
I have traveled to other cities this year and have seen a lot worse. For instance, Seattle, San Francisco, Portland. Streets and parks are lined with small tents and very much out in the open.
I work as a volunteer at homeless shelters in the south burbs. There is a real need for shelter in the winter, the only time these shelters are open. In the summer, just look under the overpass on SW highway and Ridgeland and you will see many people sleeping there. And, as you know there is a % of working poor, but many others are substance abuse or mental illness. Sad, but no help for these issues.I know you might say poor choices and that is true, but if it was a family member of yours you would want to help.
Ironic really? Isn't it...?
Now if you do that some ACLU lawyers she the city for displacing these poor folks.

actually you are wrong. Many of these people sleep every night in a different shelter and many do follow the rules. However, there are also a few who do not and are refused entry to any shelter until they meet with the staff to work out a plan. And, still for some that will not work and they sleep outside or in a police station. You can't put everyone into the same bucket
I hated Daley but you are right streets and sanitation would have been there to clean it up. Don't know what is going on regarding streets and sanitation. You raise taxes on services and suddenly become less efficient. My garbage would be picked up at 6am now it doesn't get picked up until 1pm. Here is one way to speed up collection service go after all those single family residences that have more than two trash carts. I have seen a single family homes have up to seven carts. With all the recycling I throw in my blue cart I now only use one trash cart and I have a household with teenagers. I plan on turning in my extra trash cart.

No, send them out to San Francisco. In the last fiscal year they budgeted 305 million for the homeless and things are still no better. The more the merrier!

You have to be joking? I’m talking about following rules long before they’ve become homeless. Following rules to prevent from becoming homeless. Shelters have rules and many don’t go to shelters because: (1) shelters have a curfew (2) homeless can’t take shopping carts full of sh-t (3) shelters requires homeless to take their meds (4) shelters requires homeless to wake up at 5am to attend church services (6) they only get 30 minutes to eat (7) they have to take showers to keep bedbugs down. Why follow the rules of the shelter when i can
sleep in the 001st, 002nd and 005th districts and Block the doors when citizens are trying to enter.

They're also migrating further south. Nice fucking city, Rahm.
Hey that's where the Riverwalk is. Now I know who's eating my leftovers !
