Voters in two precincts of the 7th Ward will find an advisory referendum on their March 19 primary ballot asking whether Ald. Greg Mitchell and Mayor Brandon Johnson should “support a Community Benefits Agreement ordinance to prevent the displacement of renters, condo and home owners in South Shore in light of the impact of the Obama Center and growing development in the area.”
The only thing the people on the south side were for Obama was a stepping stone. People in this area better wake up and smell the coffee. Obama has more in common with the women in the “Sex in the City” movie series than he does with any south side residents.

It’s telling, one would think for ultra progressive CTU/Brandon and his crew securing Obama center “community benefits” ordinance before dem convention would be #1 priority but instead ordinance is on hold?

When an entity/business builds something new or brings “added value” to these distreseed ghetto nabes, it’s called “gentrification”… but when businesses and other entities of worth flee these nabes for greener pastures”, it’s called “disinvestment”… I guess these concepts “confuse” the ghetto dwellers…

“Gentrification” of South Shore seems unlikely now, given its neighborhood crime statistics.

A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
