"Leaving her mark on a downtown redevelopment effort in the final weeks of her administration, Mayor Lori Lightfoot is naming three plans for mixed-income housing as eligible for city subsidies."
I guess they don’t realize that demographics matter. Businesses look at the demographics of a neighborhood. Low income you get dollar stores, higher income you get higher end stores. When you mess with the demographics you won’t get either. The lower income residents will shop elsewhere as will the higher income residents.
