Do y’all get the city to buy in at all? We struggle to do that here, if I lived in Chicago I would have been there despite no ties to the university

The city of Evanston hates Northwestern and the nearest Chicago neighborhoods aren’t really the football types. Now if they were on the South Side? Whole different story

That's okay, I've hated Evanston ever since I read about what that one middle school did to that kid who tried to help his depressed friend.

Good you should hate Evanston, they’re awful NIMBYs and their hatred towards NU is totally unreasonable. I grew up in a college town where they set couches on fire, Northwestern students are unbelievably well behaved in comparison and the university is actually very separate geographically from where most people live, esp as more than half the student body lives on campus. 

(Ex wildcat here, obvs haha)
