The Julia C. Lathrop Homes along the Chicago River used to be a public housing complex. The beautiful North Side location is filled with some ugly buildings. They're vacant eyesores that have waited years to be redeveloped, so CBS 2 looked into the latest on Lathrop.

Agreed, POTUS Biden pass our taxpayer dollars for that. If, he is made aware. It's an election year. Perfect timing.

I toured this project in 1968 and wrote a paper on it . At that time it was fully occupied with a lot of low income retirees. Had a mix of black and whites , mostly single older people. very few children . It was not luxury housing but it was very clean and well kept. Sad to see it deteriorate over the past decades

Just waiting for redevelopment and some "deals". You really think anyone will develop waterfront property for the poor now ? They will make a deal to do some renovations in the inner city and use the waterfront for luxury condos with parks and a Marina. Those in the know and inner circle will make millions.

Most of us do. I’m still happy to see citizens who need housing get a place to stay. When you have a place to live, a lot of the problems that homelessness causes simply aren’t an issue anymore.

So you want people to be homeless? They work too but they need a place to live. Billions to Israel and Ukraine but you’re mad at this

JL Living in the building by himself didn't want anyone else living there because he liked living in a building alone but what you don't hear is cha boarded up the vacants and some how some one came in the building and tore the vacant doors off , JL puts a 2x4 to block the entrance door according to JL in 2016,

🐻The affordable housing development that the Democrats burned down in south Minneapolis during the George Floyd Riots was a six-story building with 189 units that was under construction and expected to open later last year.
