Chicago Politics and Urbanism Daily

news, politics, government · EN-US

Chicago Politics and Urbanism Daily is your daily read on Chicago civic reform — coverage of City Hall, the City Council, the CTA, CPS, and CPD from a build-more-housing, accountability-first frame. Episodes track the mayor and the Council on housing abundance and the homelessness response, permit reform that affects small-business owners and developers, CTA reliability and rail-station safety, and CPD and prosecutorial decisions shaping crime trends across the South, West, and North sides. We dig into alderman votes, CPS board decisions, and Cook County moves that get buried in the daily news cycle. For Chicagoans who follow Chicago politics, the CTA, CPS schools, public safety, and urbanism, the show is short, evidence-led, and unapologetic about preferring outcomes over ideology.
