Chicago's “affordable” housing system perpetuates city's history of segregation.

The truth hurts, but if you accept it, it will set you free
Title couldn’t say it all.
Government backed affordable housing in Chicago has largely been confined to majority Black neighborhoods with high concentrations of poverty, a design that has perpetuated the city’s long history of segregation.

I get the history of housing in 20th century America, especially chicago. It’s embarrassing and horrific all around. I just wonder how many new units actually get built while the city is trying to buy land and get permits and public comment for projects in winnetka or glencoe. (Never going to happen) I hope they balance this with the need to get some shit built pronto and not just have it as a talking point so pols can posture as class warriors (ala AOC) without actually delivering anything.
