It’s time now? What the fuck were you doing for the past 7 years?

He’s proposing the most basic, inoffensive YIMBY policies imaginable to make housing more affordable, and 55-year-old conservative homeowners are acting like he said he’s going to personally execute them in the middle of downtown Chicago.

LOL!! The Bears would disagree.

Illinois was actually pretty nice prior to January 14, 2019.

This you? With what money, asshat???

REDUCE PROPERTY TAXES. Why is it that politicians will propose everything but the most obvious solutions to the most obvious problems? Property taxes have increased by more than $7B under Pritzker. Zero serious reforms proposed. Highest property taxes in the nation.

Now is the time to build? What the hell happened the last 7 years you were in office? Oh right your endless tax hikes, sky-high property taxes (worst in the nation), and soft-on-crime policies drove hundreds of thousands out of Illinois, tanked our economy, and turned the state into a people-repelling disaster. Stop the spin and fix what YOU broke first. Illinois deserves better than your late-to-the-party PR stunts so you can try and be pres.

@blakebenson42 Let’s gooooo

“Modernize building codes” Yurt coach houses @Nomads4Pritzker ????

Build? Build what? With what? You stole 3 BILLION DOLLARS from Illinois taxpayers and gave it to illegals. You then turned around and raised taxes 49 times on those same taxpayers. YOU ARE A THIEF

What he forgot to tell you is Illinois hosts 550,000 illegal aliens. Remove the illegal aliens and there is no housing problem. Housing prices will stabilize and become more affordable. Illinois will save 2.5 billion!

Build?? You have destroyed Illinois.

Here’s a wild idea Governor, stop grim f**king everyone on taxes. Maybe start there.

He wants to override municipalities Chicago has red tape. Suburbs and towns have up to date building codes and zoning He wants to low standards and also allow apartment buildings anywhere put want to put them

What have you been doing the past 2 terms? Funny how your "time to work" is only around elections.

Build what, free housing for illegals?

The time to build was 8 years ago. You dropped the ball, and your constituents are paying the price. You know property taxes are based on the value of a home? And artificially limiting new supply is great for incumbents until their assessed values reach market value, right?

Are you a fucking retard You have been burning Illinois to the ground. You SUCK

Wait is it more of the same for American citizens?

Let’s start by building a home for the @ChicagoBears in Illinois!

It is indeed…

JB, Here's an interesting build... anything you want to say about this? Is any of this false?

It’s time to kick you out of Illinois

Now you want to build in an election year. I really think politicians hate their constituents.

The only thing fat monster can build is a big table of food in front of him!

Well, you chased away any normal person and all you got are illegal aliens and minorities on government assistance and some crazy white liberal cat ladies and beta males So fuck off fat boy

No it’s time for a nice glass of…..Americans 1st that’s how you build. Putz.

Ozempic and you’re still fat

wtf you been doing for the last 8 years?

Motherfucker, you've had SEVEN GODDAMN YEARS to "build" anything besides your own goddamn waistline and a mountain of new taxes! What the actual fuck have you been doing since 2019 besides treating the state treasury like your personal fucking ATM? You've jacked up property taxes so high they're basically a subscription service for getting ass-fucked by Springfield every year—highest in the nation, you bloated piece of shit—and now you waddle out with this limp-dick "YIMBY" PR stunt like you're suddenly some visionary housing savior? Newsflash, you corpulent sack of expired mayonnaise: Illinois has been bleeding people faster than your state budget bleeds red ink because of YOUR endless tax hikes, your soft-on-crime clown show, and your fetish for handing billions to illegals while actual working families get bent over. "Time to build"? Bitch, it's time to BUILD A FUCKING TIME MACHINE so we can go back and vote your rich ass out before you turned the state into a giant homeless shelter with a side of corruption. This ain't leadership, this is election-year ass-covering from a guy who's spent his entire governorship perfecting the art of: - Raising taxes 49 fucking times - Watching companies and families flee like rats off a sinking Titanic - Pretending Chicago isn't a war zone - And now—surprise!—proposing the most basic, watered-down "modernize building codes" bullshit that any actual competent governor would've done in year ONE instead of year EIGHT when his presidential wet dreams start leaking. You don't give a flying fuck about building homes for Illinoisans. You just want more bodies to tax so you can fund your next grift, your next photo-op, and probably another private jet ride to wherever the Democratic donor class is circle-jerking this week. So yeah, "It's time to build, Illinois"? More like it's time to build a guillotine for career politicians who think "build" means "extract more money from the same broke-ass taxpayers you've already robbed blind." Go eat another whole cake, you hypocritical, tax-humping whale. Illinois has been building—building resentment toward your sorry ass for years. Now fuck off and take your fake-ass slogan with you. 🖕 Illinois deserves better than your late-to-the-party, election-year bullshit. Always has. Always will.

You only want to put policies in place that raise home values so you can increase tax revenues. It's such an obvious scheme it's laughable.

Yes, let’s start with a Krispy Kreme on every corner.
