"...part of the struggle I think is the time we live in now. This deindustrialization, or this post-industrialization development, right? We just had the turn of a new millennium, we had a huge real estate crash, and things are kind of changing. And we’re at the center of that. That’s what Chicago is to me. We’re one of the great industrial cities, we still are a great city. . . . I think of us as like the beating heart of North America, right?" - Dan French (Founder + CEO, Brownfield Listings)
