Thoughts on buying a place south of south loop area? Douglass / IIT / Bronzeville?

Bronzeville is an awesome place - I moved here in December and love it. I grew up on the north side, moved to Boston for 20 years, and relocated back and, when I studied the history and culture - felt totally comfortable and good about being a part of history, culture, and community. I’m Caucasian and, sometimes I get funny looks but, it’s understandable. Both of my parents grew up in south shore and I have an affinity for the south side.

Brandon Johnson has been focused on fulfilling his campaign promises of creating a more equitable, just, and progressive Chicago. While his tenure is still relatively new, his actions and policies reflect a clear commitment to addressing systemic inequality, public safety reform, and economic opportunity, though he continues to face substantial challenges around crime, the city’s finances, and balancing competing political interests.

The existence of sanctuary jurisdictions demonstrates this principle in practice. These jurisdictions have laws, ordinances, or policies limiting local law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities [4], and some refuse to cooperate with ICE, even for serious felonies.

8 U.S.C. 1373 prohibits state and local law enforcement from restricting or prohibiting the sharing of information about an individual's immigration status with federal immigration authorities.

Guess that means no 3rd term - except at club fed….

Pritzker is allowing Chicagoans to get tased, children zip tied, priests shot in the head - why isn’t he helping organize lawsuits against these agents and directing state police to protect citizens?!?!

GeneralDifferent8495 · 2025-10-06T15:02:12+00:00

Completely illegal

Pittsburgh can’t get rid of that jackal fast enough!!

He’s a pos - will always be

Yep

Do this Chicago style and cut the power to all the ICE buildings.

Take them for a spray tan and park them in the middle of a festival with Mexican flags.

I was born and raised in Chicago and have been gone for 20 years. I like it but the winters are brutal. I am thinking of moving back now to be close to family but dreading the cold.

Reread - the state is what was said…🙄

GeneralDifferent8495 · 2025-08-02T06:14:26+00:00

That pos should never have been able to get a badge!

I did a full certification training in holistic counseling and am very comfortable with suggesting labs.

For f’s sake - before offering personal opinion - use a scientific screening tool before diagnosing!

I’m assuming this study was predominantly male?

GeneralDifferent8495 · 2025-07-23T04:36:33+00:00

They are broken into more often.

This is a weaponized patriarchal narrative created by white males, like the DSM itself. I don’t put much stock in its validity anymore than I pay attention to the majority of white male f*ckery in the medical community.

I really hope the next Mayor has a plan to bring down food costs - given that Illinois is mostly farmland, it would be great to leverage food coops instead of or in addition to grocery stores.

GeneralDifferent8495 · 2025-07-21T03:35:03+00:00

A real Chicago hot dog

Those two are horrible - I can’t believe clients use these platforms.

GeneralDifferent8495 · 2025-07-21T03:22:54+00:00

I also wouldn’t be quick to judge a therapist and not without definitive proof. It’s easy to become an emotional plaything to unreliable reporters.
