In Chicago, Michael M. Edwards, who runs the Chicago Loop Alliance, is excited by a plan that the city has begun developing that would use office conversions to create 1,000 housing units, 30 percent of them affordable, along LaSalle Street, a major business thoroughfare. With more people living downtown, Mr. Edwards argues, more people could easily commute to downtown jobs.
Putting hundreds of public housing units in the middle of the Loop and the LaSalle St financial district sounds like a good idea. Coup de gras for the future of Chicago. Brilliant!
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.

This is the end result of the ‘equity journey’.
