Well yes. You can't own people, they are nobody's property, and thus worthless.
It's a stone's throw from the Western station on the Brown line and the buses are every ten minutes on N Western Ave, too, so it's not removal of parking in an area devoid of public transport.
That proposal was a couple of years ago and thankfully it was approved. The building is now nearly finished. Here's an update from last year.
All affordable units, right next to an L stop, and they kept some public parking spaces on the bottom floor.
affordable units
Ahhh there it is. The real problem is "we don't want poor people moving in".
That's Lincoln Square. The lot was behind a block long strip of popular restaurants and businesses and served as the collective parking for all of them. Removing it pretty much guarantees the street parking along that block will never be removed, when otherwise that block would be a prime candidate to be made a pedestrian-only block.
I'd put a sticker over the phone numbers saying "Good."
Is that the Gallaghers' house from Shameless? That does feel like the sort of stance Frank would take.
