As evictions tick back up in Cook County, new proposal aims to help renters who land in court – Chicago Tribune/MSN

Residential eviction filings stand at more than 18,000 through August 2023, with last year’s total filings — which include a small number of commercial evictions — reaching over 29,000, around the same number of filings as in 2019. Chicago’s Right to Counsel Pilot Program would become permanent in 2027 under an ordinance introduced to the City Council by Mayor Brandon Johnson and the Chicago Department of Housing.

I try to read the articles, but it’s ‘race’ this and ‘brown and black’ people that, and ‘systemic racism’. It’s so tiring. The fake news, the bleeding heart. I’d love to see even one sentence saying something like…”…Experts say that tens of thousands of illegal immigrants competing for limited affordable housing in black and brown neighborhoods is a significant cause of skyrocketing rent…” No, it’s the system is broken because black and brown people are less likely to pay their rent on time in Chicago.
