I'm interested what you'd thought of the meeting! I was really disappointed to hear they are only committing to some on-site affordable housing for the ARO and just doing the in lieu fees otherwise, JDL made a big deal out of committing to all on-site back at the WPC meeting back in September

If they had a right-wing, β€œtough-on-crime” coded mayor there would be endless national profiles about him and how he finally brought sanity back to Chicago.

Definitely less than ideal! I'm in the same boat- my condo is in one of the small pockets of light green in the 32nd but it's not practical under the ordinance.

Unsurprisingly it looks like the 32nd Ward will be almost fully in the opt-in or not permitted areas.

I don't know who I'll vote for in IL9. We have qualified candidates who would make great House members.

Regardless of how Abughazaleh does in that primary (though it's not likely I'll vote for her), it is important for me to say that she has earned a lot of respect from me for her work here.

This is what people trying to put themselves in a better situation lose when you convey that experiencing a loss of safe shelter is unlawful.
