Reflections on affordable housing in Chicago: you cannot build affordable housing only where it’s cheapest, or only where people will protest the least. You have to build it where it’s needed, which is everywhere.

Good to see @chicagotribune editorial board weigh in on this essential issue: What should Invest South/West’s fate be? Keep it alive and growing…Hope @MaryAnnAhernNBC will pin down Johnson and Vallas on it in mayoral debate. chicagotribune.com/opinion/e…
"#InvestSouthWest isn't just about throwing more taxpayer money at a problem. Enlisting the private sector to play a prominent role gave corporate Chicago an incentive to... get involved in parts of the city it had ignored for so long."
