NU should not call the shots and NU’s administration couldn’t open an umbrella and neither can Evanston City Council.

Yes, they should. NU put Evanston on the map.

I hear you, look at all those dumps that didn't have Northwestern to lift them up!
Kenilworth, Winnetka, Glencoe, Highland Park, Lake Forest, all just complete turdburgers with nothing going for them at all. Without Northwestern, Evanston would be horrible just like them.

Baloney. Waukegan has the lake and is still a ********.

The first criteria was that it was the closest suburb to Chicago and that makes it the shortest commute to downtown with rail and el lines for someone not living in the city, Also North is better than south. That is a huge factor. It also has the lake and all of the close suburbs that have both tend to be pretty well off,

Waukegan may have the lake but it is an hour farther away and a lot of stuff in between

Heck, they claim that NU drags them down

Technically, NU was there first.
