I mean, if the city got away with just fucking an airport out of existence the way they did with Meigs Field why not just send a bunch of city workers out with some tools to dissappear those parking meters? Fuckem

Because the city would have to pay for the loss of income from those meters. CPM did a stupidly good job tying up their benefits nicely; if income drops for any reason, Chicago has to pay to make up for it.
