Is there a site in Chicago-land that would work for a new airport? I assume it would be far away from downtown Chicago. Are the people of Chicago willing to drive (I'm guessing) 60 miles away from downtown to get to the airport? Is that realistic? I'd LOVE to see a large, new airport for Chicago and for the US. Hopefully we've learned a few things from Denver.

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.
