There was an article in today's Milwaukee Journal Sentinel about a proposal to develop a "gated community" in central Milwaukee (currently a war zone). This was being promoted by a black Milwaukee church and other developers. The development calls for 24 3 bedroom townhouses, and the article said they already had 36 reservations! It is unclear whether this will be approved because the Fire Dept. and Sanitation Dept. have some problems with locked gates blocking their access.
