The city needs to do a comprehensive rezoning that increases allowable density everywhere then combos this with a broad set of transit TIFs that funnel capital into building out BRT, bike lanes, and regional rail on Metra. Existing TIFs with unclear mandates should be sunsetted to compensate.
We don’t talk about this map enough.
If you live in an area that’s red, you should
1) call/email your alderman
2) tell them that you’re concerned about housing costs
3) ask them lift the ban on multifamily buildings in your neighborhood by rezoning to minimum of RT-4. @stevevance.net

"UChicago executive director of Chicago Studies & Experimental Learning Chris Skrable said the city initially pushed back on whether a high-density development could be supported in Woodlawn"
The city should be supporting dense, walkable, mixed-use, transit oriented development, not impeding it.
Update: to remove the inconvenience to drivers the tree limb has been relocated to the sidewalk.
Actually it would be cool if the city’s Green Social Housing corporation bought it
