McCormick Place, Navy Pier or shuttered big-box stores should be used to house asylum seekers descending on Chicago, instead of “playing whack-a-mole” and inconveniencing multiple Chicago neighborhoods, an influential alderperson said this week.

“We need central locations. We need large spaces. We could better utilize our staffing time if we knew we had a large space,” said Ald.

There are a number of Hyatt Hotel properties that could be utilized. I am sure the Pritzker’s would be glad to host them.

We need central locations

Lots of land in Africa that needs to be worked.
