Well paid with impeccable credentials....from Bezerkley:
Lee starts July 1 and will be paid $165,000 per year, a Lightfoot spokesman said.
The incoming deputy mayor has an economics degree from the University of California at Berkeley as well as a law degree from Boalt Hall, Berkeley’s law school.
I sold my half of a gorgeous condo on the 53rd floor, just off Rush Street & Chestnut overlooking Lake Michigan, to my brother. He’s elated. Quite sure he’ll be able to make a killing on it either renting or selling it. In fact, he’s laughing at me.
That’s fine. I was born and raised in Chicago, like him. When I was just 12 years old, we’d take the L train downtown and walk to the Prudential Building, the tallest building at the time.
We’d see a movie, then take the train back in the afternoon.
Safest city on the planet at the time.
It was hard for me to sell, and give it up, but I HAVE NO DESIRE WHATSOEVER, to return to that city, for any reason.
It’s a toilet, and it will only get worse.
I am quite sure taxes will go up with this new mayor. I’m sure a variety of fees too.
I don’t know about property values. There’s always some filthy rich person willing to plop down big bucks for a scenic view of the City, but at what price?
Well, you nailed it: Berkeley trained.
I suppose the deputy mayor comes with a training certificate in urban riots.
