In my opinion and the time I spent there a new airport will/would be built before ORD expands. The Mayor doesn't want a new one built because he'd lose the power/jobs/income tax. The suburbs don't want the noise expansion would bring. Go back and read the newspapers from the late 80's and early 90s and just change the dates.
