Yup, this slipped my mind. The people moving out of Illinois aren't the white-collar folks that will be here eating when tech takes off. Everything between Lakeview and Motor Row gonna be filled with new money in the coming years. I can't speak to Mexicans filling black southside communities but based on how Logan Square got gentrified and pushed them out of there, I am not shocked.This is already in the works.
The Lincoln Yards and the 708 are new residential and business districts in the works for the south loop and around Lincoln Park. Meanwhile, the redline will be extended south past 95th to 130th because black people south and east will be "displaced" to the south suburbs. Did anyone talk about how the mexicans are flooding southside black communities?
