In the interest of fiscal and environmental responsibility, Mayor Lori Lightfoot should declare Jackson Park off-limits to construction and spare the hundreds of historic trees slated for clear-cutting.

Recent United Nations and Science reports prioritize massive tree planting to absorb and sequester CO2. Destroying Jackson Park’s mature trees releases stored CO2 into the atmosphere. Saving them saves Illinois taxpayers $199 million.

I vote for the bottom of Lake Michigan. There’s a spot about 900 ft from the surface that would do nicely. No trees, little traffic, and plenty of fresh water.
Move it to GITMO.
He should build it in Iran.

I believe the big parcel where U.S. Steel used to be is still open. Right off Lake Shore Drive.
Is there a sewage treatment plant nearby?
we have a place called Iris Glen that would be suitable for Barry Soetoro’s ‘library’. Would get lots of traffic, too.
I suggest moving to close to home, in Hell.

How about building it about 5 miles due east of the proposed position in Grant Park?
