WOODLAWN - Dozens of members of a coalition fighting for affordable housing protections in the neighborhoods surrounding the future Obama Presidential Center set up a “tent city” Thursday in a city-owned, vacant lot, warning that’s what the city could look like if people are displaced.
Members of the Obama CBA Coalition set up for the day in Woodlawn to outline their demands. Their expansive community benefits agreement, drafted to prevent displacement in advance of the Obama Presidential Center’s planned construction in Jackson Park, has stalled in City Council for nearly a year.
Organizers are demanding changes to the scaled-back protections proposed by Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s housing department in a February draft ordinance, including:
- The development of affordable two- and three-bedroom units.
- $5 million in funding for homeownership programs for working families, compared to the city’s proposed $1.5 million allocation.
- The inclusion of Washington Park in the ordinance’s boundaries.

How about just letting them build the 0bama palace, then just take it over, occupy it, and pay no rent at all. Democrat rn cities have already proven that such is permissible behavior.
Obama doesn’t care. He’s not really into that Americana thing
A Schitty President, building a Shitty looking
“library” in a Schitthole city
They deserve each other
I decided to check out the old neighborhoods back from my college days in the early ‘80s in Hyde Park. 55th Street looks pretty grim, lots of empty store fronts near the lake. A couple of eyesores gone, Pierce Tower, for instance. Some other new buildings, but numerous empty storefronts on that part of the city didn’t happen in 1983.
Did they ask their fellow protesters in MPLS who burned down the under construction affordably housing apartment building for nay ideas?

More stuff needs to be burning
probably be more accurate like a chaz zone
LOL!
AS IF Bath House and his Burly Beard (not to mention The Monkey Lady) want ANY poor people in their vicinity, messing up the view, smelling like poverty, writing graffiti on the walls, and making the street to The Palace dirty.
Get real, activists, you have no idea who the Soetoros actually are.
Obama was never eligible to be President under our Constitution.
He is NOT a natural born citizen.
Funny enough, NOBODY knows who Barry Soetoro really is.
Take a ride down 55th from the lake to the Dan Ryan. It looks like the 3rd world.
It was like the third world by the Dan Ryan 35 years ago, so that doesn’t shock me. 55th and Everett, 55th and Kimbark, etc. THAT surprised me. A little gentrification south of 60th and Woodlawn, I suppose.
