This goes beyond simply c00ning.

This is a black person attempting to stymie economic growth and opportunity for other black people a la white supremacy.


I have never seen another race of people encounter this sort of stuff before, its only black folks that have to worry about this.

Its no different than brehs gunning each other down in the street. Perhaps its even worse due to the long term impact.

Leslie Hairston (the boule) would not have done that. :sas1:

On the flip side, I do agree, that if you’re trying to revitalize a neighborhood, some businesses I would probably restrict to a minimum - barber shops, hair salons, day cares, nail shops. We already got fifty million of them on every other street.

I could see where he was coming from until he told the cigar lounge owner that he envisioned a nail salon or ace hardeware in her spot. He shot himself in the foot with that so I don’t know what type of plans he envisions for his neighborhood.

He is trying to ensure the economic base of the neighborhood continues to decline so property value continues to drop and gentrification can be speed up. He is a puppet.

Not sure what neighborhoods he oversees but this could be true. South Shore right now has a lot of vacant buildings that businesses are trying to get into but the owners are holding onto the properties, waiting to see what the development of the Obama library, the golf courses, and other developments are going to do to property prices before they sell or let folks come in.

I don’t know what type of gentrification is gonna come to the Calumet Heights neighborhood along 95th street but his background sounds like yours.

Alderman Greg Mitchell has been a resident of the 7th ward for over 44 years. Born into a hardworking, blue collar, family in the Southeast Chicago neighborhood of Jeffery Manor, he is the third of four children, and as the only son, Mitchell inherited his tenacious work ethic and discipline from his parents. His father served in the US Marine Corp and retired from the US Postal service and his mother was a committed housewife who worked part-time.

Growing up, Alderman Mitchell understood the value of hard work and community responsibility. Whether shoveling snow, mowing lawns, or carrying groceries for the seniors in the community, he was taught the invaluable lesson that community is built from collective effort towards the common goal. This knowledge helped shape his love and appreciation for his neighborhood.

He also became a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated, where he served as the keeper of Finance and President of his Chapter.

Even still an individual politician shouldn't be able to control that. That's the decision a community group or voters should make. If the community can support fifty million day cares then why shouldn't it exist??

And shout out to all those women entrepreneurs
