It is a government project. Everything the gov’t touches is slow. Everyone needs to get a piece of the pie. Walk by and watch the workers who lay in the swings and take naps at 7:30 in the morning. That is why the park that was supposed to be completed in 2006/2007 is still not done. Govt B.S.
First off, by law, most construction in the city can’t be underway until 8:00am, so the “lazy workers taking naps in the swings” may actually have shown up early for their workday. Most construction workers I know show up a bit early so that at 8:00am they’re swinging hammers (actually, they tend to push it and start at 7:50 or so). That’s essentially the opposite of lazy.
(I’ll boil down the intro semester of construction management for you: sitework (in this case, the entire park) is always exposed to the elements, and as such, is always vulnerable to weather delays.)
But you already knew these things. You’re not an ignorant putz talking out of his rear end. Nope. Not at all.
Second, if the horrible, terrible government is such a problem for you, I’ve got two great solutions. They’re the same solutions for all the whiners who endlessly kvetch about regulations and government interference in the marketplace. Those solutions: Somalia and Afghanistan. If you’re really so bothered by the awful government, move the the hinterlands of Afghanistan or Somalia, were there simply is no government. Bask in the joys of the pure, unregulated free market! Be free from the annoyance of government road crews taking long breaks and being “over supervised,” because there are no government road crews, or roads for that matter. It will be paradise for you… well, until the local warlord robs and kills you, because there is no government to impose the rule of law. But you won’t have to complain about police or “unelected judges”, because there aren’t any.
Seriously, what are you doing in Chicago, or any actual town/city for that matter? If you’re so bent out of shape by the reality of organized human society – otherwise known as inefficiency, there are some very nice cabins in the backwoods of Alaska where you’ll be much happier.
The ordinance doesn’t regulate the time at which construction may start, only the time during which noise must be kept below a certain level audible in residential units.
Why is this park not open yet?
The summer is almost over!
