Thanks for sharing your experience about gentrification (which is the shorthand term I would use to talk about everything you described). And I think it's important that there is organizing going on to deal with it. Personally, I think we need to make both neighborhoods and laws that place the basic need for humans to shelter and community over the desire of developers to earn profit. If we don't create a new power structure that does that, we're going to have this same problem over and over again, as we have had in Chicago for decades. southsideriffraff:

The Claretians with their fat LISC checks are pushing plans to make South C green to sell it to the yuppies from up north. They talking about 250,000 to 300,000 for a home - that ain't affordable for people in South C we barely making 25,000 a year - maybe for the peeps up north or upper east side but we ain't got that kind of loot. Many of us are starting to see our rent jump up - most of our peeps rent. They pushing certs that we gonna have to pay for down the line as father Daley makes Chicago Yuppie Green - kicking out the Black, Brown and poor White - Since they started putting up their "affordable" criblets taxes have started popping up and they been working with the Popes and Neilly in the South C chambers to do things to make it harder for us who live there - like we got bike patrols giving tickets - we got community art projects from people who ain't from the community - we got all these parking signs popping up that we have to pay to park in front of our own cribs now - we got all this green jazz going when our peeps need green for work, yet they ain't giving us those jobs to make South C green - they bringing in their friends while our TIF tax money pays them.

The Blue Bag is a complete scam. Blue bags get tossed into garbage trucks and crushed up with all the regular garbage, thus spilling all of the contents. Because it is run by the city, I am also very skeptical of the new big drop-off bins. I have seen items in those bins that don't belong and I wonder if the city is truly going through all of the items and recycling, or just putting on a front similar to the Blue Bag. I would perhaps be more likely to believe that the items dropped off at Wrightwood are actually being recycled since it is not a city run operation. I live in Chicago and I want to recycle.

How can we convince our ward alderman to get the blue bins on our street!?!? Will I live in the Ukranian Village, do you know of any drop-off locations closer than those listed above?
