“The ordinances would require property owners in Pilsen and near the 606 Bloomingdale Trail to apply for special permission from city officials in order to transform two- to six-unit apartment buildings into single-family homes.”

Closing the barn doors after the animals have left. The city is decaying, the 606 trail is a farce compared to the Des Plaines River Trail; residents are fleeing the city for real homes on real lots in the suburbs. Interest in converting two flats into SFH is waning.
