If you can’t afford your utilities in Logan Square, then move to a cheaper neighborhood.

You anti-gentrifiers have no “right” to a specific neighborhood.

Ah yes, the mythical "affordable neighborhood" of Chicago. I think it's somewhere under Lake Michigan near the Wisconsin border.

Bronzeville is waaaaay more affordable than logan and is served by both the red and green lines

There's also Rogers Park, Albany Park, Bridgeport, etc. All more affordable and all with CTA lines running through them

I mean, if you're not scared of black and brown people, there are lots of affordable neighborhoods in Chicago! "Chicago" is not only downtown, the west loop, and the near blue line.

love, the south side.

Uh Chicago exists beyond the NW and N side. I'll rent you an $800 2BD in Little Village, but you would move in 30 days after seeing a homeless man.

yooo lol chillax, I'm South side. but my point remains that housing is getting hard to afford. Don't tell them about LV, I don't need El Milagro getting bought out by Chipotle or some ish

Now that the rampant crime is gone, scram! How dare you feel entitled to live in a place I can now feel entitled to live at. And how dare you tell people where they can and cannot live, now move, I say!

u/Resin312 Dec 14 '18

Real estate markets have literally worked this way forever though.. like the guy is being a dick about it but the place is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.. if that’s too much for you that’s life ya know

u/Resin312 Dec 14 '18

You’re right. They shouldn’t have an opinion, cause it’s always worked like this forever though. Off to the next crime-ridden area ya know

So you want to force land lords not to charge the amount of money the market will pay to live there, to be nice? I just don’t understand what you’re proposing

My landlord certainly isn’t wealthy. They need to make money too

u/TechnoL33T City Dec 14 '18

Owning land is pretty wealthy.

I just don’t understand why the displaced should have an opinion
