Remember when 83,000 Chicagoans applied for housing assistance as the pandemic devastated the economy, but there were only 10k grants available? $280 million would’ve provided over $3k to each household that needed it. Instead, we gave covid relief to the police.

In Logan Square a developer bought a 4-flat for $820k. Gut rehabbed it. He was given, under the ADU pilot, another unit as of right. The ADU asking rent is $2,600. The other units are $3,700. One year later, the building is for sale for $2.3million. This is gentrification.

Each dot represents a demo, each is a loss of affordable housing. Between 2006 and 2019 there were 768 demolitions in Logan Square, compared to 22 in Hermosa. This is why #LSNA fought for a moratorium, and this is why we fight for a demo fee.
