Nicer Than You Could Afford
As long as everyone else is paying, why not live high on the hog?
- The high-rise at 500 N. Lake Shore Drive is the second-most expensive in the city, with rents for a one-bedroom apartment approaching $3,000 a month, well beyond the reach of most Chicago residents.
But that's not too much for the Chicago Housing Authority, which has used federal tax dollars to pick up most of the tab for four lucky residents in the year-old building, with its sweeping views of Lake Michigan, a concierge and a dog-grooming center.
The tenants moved in over the past two years as part of a push by the CHA to expand its housing voucher program so that more low-income residents can leave the city's roughest neighborhoods and start a new life in places with low poverty and crime and close to good schools and jobs.
Not to put too fine a point on it, but $3,000 a month is probably more than double a vast majority of mortgages in most parts of the city. And those receiving these "super-vouchers" have done exactly what to earn a nicer address than 99% of Chicagoans will ever see?

Stuff like that (tax-payer rip-offs) have been going on for years. There are Section 8 housing people scattered all over the Gold Coast and in all those new 6-Figure Luxury Condos on the lands where Cabrini Green use to sit.
Where Cabrini Green use to sit.
That's the former Italian neighborhood (Republican) and that's who Richard J. Daley forced out to build the hi-rise ghettos and row houses.
I have a photo of me and my squad car at the address of where my grandmother used to live.
A real media person would investigate who ends up in one of these luxury apartments and find out who they're connected to. Because this being Chicago, no one gets something without knowing someone.
Better yet - find out how many of these "super vouchers" there are per zip code in places like 60611/60610/etc.
Makes me feel like a moron for working hard and paying taxes.
This is part of the change we were promised nearly seven years ago.
"low-income residents can leave the city's roughest neighborhoods and start a new life in places with low poverty and crime and close to good schools and jobs"
Isn't this how the south and west sides were ruined in the first place?
Yeah, so exactly who lives there? It's no random Joe from Englewood, it's gotta be some connected asshole.
This is a disaster waiting to happen.
Hilarious!!! I remember 440 E Ohio in late 1990's early 2000's had a couple "mixed income" units. The paying residents weren't that thrilled with the noise and police presence. Oh, can't forget about the bag of garbage on the elevator I noticed during the loud music complaint at a then newly opened 400 N McClurg. Hahaha! Doorman nearly shit when I asked him how muck section 8 was allowed.. Can't ya just smell the diversity?!!!
You ask such silly questions. What have they done to deserver? Well they are poor and shiftless, and they vote democrat. What more do you want or need?
I work 2 jobs, don't live beyond my means and people are getting this with my tax dollars? Something for nothing is BS to begin with but this is un-effing-believable
Why don't the people actually paying 3k/mo. Put an end to it.

Low crime did you say? It is low right until the CHA people move in. Then the all night parties start, dope slinging at all hours. grape and orange pop cans all over along with empty flamin hot cheetos wrappers, the CHA diet staple. And of course the makeshift urinals that appear in the hallways and stairwells. And how about the sound of loud arguing and swearing at all hours? Occasional gunshots. Cockroaches, oh yeah, cockroaches.
I think it is a great idea, those people living there now maybe never have seen what CHA residents are really like. Who can forget 1230 N Larabee? I remember a couple of Cook County Sheriffs living in there. The old girl got the cheap apartment and they moved on in. Can't beat a hundred dollar a month apartment. Of course it was in Cabrini-Green but cheap is cheap.
I just puked in my mouth
No contract, no raise,no medical, no pension for police and welfare abuser popping baby out left and right.
this is enough. this is unlike me but i am calling Chicago Housing Authority and City Hall, & bitching this week. (not that its any good)
Vote Conservative, not republican or democrat. Remember, that the best federal program is one that helps people find a job in the PRIVATE sector.
That is fucking incredible! I bet they are all politically connected family members, girlfriends, boyfriends, life partners etc. Why work hard and play by big boys/big girls rules when someone can roll in without paying any dues......Furious Dusky Old School PO.
CHA's budget is $810 million a year. That's insane considering the massive pension shortfall the city has.
Unless your elderly or disabled, no one should live rent free!!
Chicago has a massive budget hole to fill and cutting CHA's budget should be first on the chopping block before the city eventually defaults.
Rahm are you taking notes??? We know you read this blog.
Imagine paying that three thousand a month and find Ghetto rats living right next door to you for free. Find the Liberal Einstein's who come up with these ideas and put them on the unemployment line. What a slap in the face to taxpayers.
Mayor Raccoon Eyes wants to import a thousand more "refugees" into Chicago. He wants to rent hotel rooms to house them. But not to worry says the conniving Raccoon. It won't cost us taxpayers a dime. Really. If the federal government is footing the bill to support these people for the rest of their lives then we THE TAXPAYER will get the bill.
I once saw some fat fuck using a Link/EBT card at Whole Foods to buy organic vegetables and yogurt. I wanted to dispatch this leech on the spot. A liberal pal of mine didn't understand my anger, and told me that poor people deserve the same quality, healthy foods that I might eat. I was there to buy a slice of pizza, it's too pricey for me to shop there. Second, you can buy all that shit at Jewel.
You're poor and don't like it? Have some self pride, get a job, better your life. You don't deserve the finer things just because you live in the USA. Nobody deserves a $3k voucher to live in luxury. Fucking liberals are destroying everything.
Here is a novel idea, how about they get a job.
CHA needs to be abolished! Useless government at its finest!
It's to the point that, other than the pride of earning your own living, you are better off on the gubmint dole.
The free housing, free food, free medical, free pre-school, free breakfast & lunch, comcast, etc, etc, add up to more than I take home now. It's really not a joking matter anymore as these theiving politicians are stealing your own children's futures for votes.
Fuck the assholes at 500 N. Lake Shore Drive.
If the people in Jefferson Park and Mt. Greenwood have to live with the beast, let the elite rub elbows with them too.

Oh yeah-- I complained about two hour + lunches and having to take on a great deal of that work to cover those abusing the system and I was dumped back to patrol. Don't talk about theft of time. You will be punished and given a bad review and you can forget about ever going anywhere or doing anything on this job again, even if you are qualified and a good worker. Nothing can be done about the rampant corruption in this department.
Isn't this how the south and west sides were ruined in the first place?
Yes! Along with East Rogers Park.
Tax & Spend GONE WILD!
When those on the Public Dole can live in a Luxury Highrise, Downtown...."Mayor, we have a problem."
There goes the neighborhood.
I think this is an opportunity to turn this on it's head. The entire city should push for 100% occupancy of CHA residents at 500 N Lakeshore.
Hell, let's go even further, and find a few multi unit buildings near our mayor's house and fill it completely with CHA residents.
Ah...what's that you say Rahm??? (Surprise! We know you read this blog.)
You say, "No thanks. That's too close to home???" You hypocrite.
This has been going on for years! I recall going to arrest some mutt in one of these luxury high-rises, the doorman wouldn't let us get to the elevator, until we threatened to arrest him for obstruction of justice! He was protecting his tenants; I guess the welfare mutts must tip well at Christmas! A bag of "herb"?
How about THIS?
"Justin Elliott, principal at Chicago-based Marc Realty Residential, has few complaints after the CHA approved supervouchers for 36 leases this year and last in a 96-unit building Marc owned at 2300 S. Michigan Ave."
Cabrini-With-A-Concierge.
Could it be that the taxpayers are taking up the slack for the mistakes of "developers" who built an excessive number of high-end, luxury condos that went "rental" after they proved to be unsalable when the real estate bubble burst?
I'll never forget 20 years ago working in 018 and watching a young yuppie couple (yellow lab included)moving into one of those over priced lofts. Without smiling I say "This is a great idea you guys should be very happy with all the diversity". Fast forward 1 1/2 years. 2 words- MOVING TRUCK. I pull up and Missy proceeds to tell me "I'm pregnant and there is no way I'm raising a child around these animals". I often wonder how much $ they lost.
So how does this work? You take someone who's never worked at anything, and cue the "Movin' On Up" theme song, and they suddenly become a smart, literate, highly-paid IT specialist through mere proximity, through osmosis?
Rather than "starting new lives," it is far more likely that they will simply bring their old lives with them.
Path of least resistance...
Do you ever wonder who brought this info to light?
I have the feeling that someone on the NEWS staff has a little condo in paradise!
What better way to get rid of ghetto neighbors that you are afraid of send the media!
Instead of hating we should all look into this for are lazy family members who can't scrape 2 penny s together,
Democrats spreading out crime to all areas.
And it is totally non-sustainable by the worthless, pieces of shit given this benefit.
Why can't they go to school, get a degree, then find a job, work hard and save up for this sort of rent? That's what all of us would have to do to be able to live there. Instead we're doing the hard work and footing the bill for lazy-do-nothings to lounge around all day and party all night. Rome fell the same way.
Make sure you vote. This is an example of Democrats using us as a doormat. They give their largest voting bloc anything they want and make us carry the cost. How can any working person vote Democrat?

They can't. In order to get Federal money to help build the building, the developers have to guarantee a certain percentage of 'low income' units. There's a minimum time requirement, which used to be twenty years.
Don't worry - that $3,000 a month rent will go down in a hurry now that the place is open to low income people who used to live in the city's roughest neighborhoods. You can't take the 'hood out of the hood. They'll bring down land values fast, making the way for their relatives to move into the vacant apartments and voila! Instant ghetto created.
This was the reason the Louisiana democrats created the 9th ward - they wanted to consolidate all of the low-rent blacks in the state in one area, so they used federal money to build "poor" housing in the area most likely to be destroyed by a hurricane. They figured it would solve two problems at once.
Moving On Up. I like it!
They can hob knob amongst the rest of the liberal lakefront high rise Obama supporters. Section 8 goes along way. Have Rahm send his So Am refugees there too. surely he probably tried to have HUD grab a floor or two in Trump Towers.
That 's if Nancy Pelosi doesn't cram them all into streets of San Francisco, by the way the Fed says it costs $1000 a day in care to support these +50,000 refugees.
Lots of money...lots of payola for the politicians.
About time! They deserve it
Who the fuck gives them an OK to spend this kind of money?
The Democrats are ramping up the inevitable race war between white and black! How else can you explain the nerve of this Democratic state to care more about votes than their own IL residents?
You can bet these lucky new residents have dirt or can blackmail someone at City Hall, and this is the payoff. Or it's a payoff to an aldercreature to house his/her/ relatives.
I'm so flabbergasted I can barely comment.

Does the dog-grooming service take pit bulls?
I think it's great.... Let the liberals live near the ones they love. That's four less getting a section 8 unit by where I live near O' Hare. Actually SCC I think the union should start a program to help the lass fortunate too. Let the police show their kinder side. Start a program we can all donate to. Use the funds to purchase property near Rahm, and Burke, and our favorite attorneys, the Lovey's, and then find some great section 8 tenants to move in. As the federal funds come in we keep rolling the cash into more property in their neighborhoods. Actually, maybe we can find a spot big enough to house the 1000 more ILLEGAL ALIEN children Rahm is trying to find space for. Let him and his kids entertain them while Barak Hussein drags his feet trying to figure out what to do with them all.
Is this true? Think of What each of you must do to pay your mortgage, or to even obtain a mortgage.
According to information (nchsa.org), under the Section 8 Housing Act of 1937, many programs exist. One of the largest is THE HOUSING CHOICE VOUCHER PROGRAM. Under this program, individuals are provided "tenant based" rental assistance so a tenant can move from one unit of at least minimum housing quality to another....
Wait for it...I think most of us were aware of this...BUT
Did you also know that it allows individuals to apply their monthly voucher TOWARDS THE PURCHASE OF A HOME?
Over 17 billion going toward such purchases each year?
THE MAXIMUM ALLOWED VOUCHER IS $2,200.00
Your labor is appreciated comrades.
Taking the money out of our pensions and social security "frees it up", so that we can provide housing like this for the unaccompanied illegal immigrants.
We also have to provide the unaccompanied illegal immigrants with daycare and free per-kindergarten so that the parents can go out to work and sell the "much needed" drugs while shooting up the community.
THIS IS HOW YOU GROW THE ECONOMY AND CREATE JOBS WHEN YOU'RE A NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY OR HARVARD GRAD!!

The people on the poverty stricken slums on the south and west side came here to make themselves a better life the Politburo explains. It's the same bullshit that is repeated today with the illegal immigrants from south of the border.

DOWNSIZING: Streeterville Man Accused In Boystown Robbery. Yes. Streeterville.
via Crime In Wrigleyville / Crime In Boystown blog
Eugene Cathery has had a pretty good run.
Charged in 2008 with three counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon and 6 counts of aggravated unlawful use of a weapon/person, Cathery pleaded guilty to one count and the other 8 counts were dropped. He got 2 years probation. Nice.
Cathery promptly violated that probation (not nice) and was given community service. Nice.
He violated the probation again and got a year in prison.
A theft charge was dropped last year when the victim didn't show up in court.
He picked up a burglary charge last December, pleaded guilty, and got 18 months probation.
Then, theft and battery allegations came along on March 26.
Despite all of that, court records show, he managed to maintain an address on East Ohio Street in the cushy Streeterville neighborhood—Illinois's 10th richest ZIP code. Not bad for a 23-year-old.
He won't be in Streeterville for a while, it seems. This weekend, Cathery was ordered held on $500,000 bond to face armed robbery charges stemming from a weekend hold-up near the 19th district police station.
According to court records and a police source, Cathery and 21-year-old Deondra White are accused of following a victim from the Addison Red Line to the Circle K/Shell station at Addison and Halsted early Saturday morning. The victim was allegedly beaten and robbed of their phone. When the victim followed the two perpetrators, it is alleged, one of them pulled out a knife.
White, who lives in the Gresham neighborhood, has bond set at $150,000
-------------------------------
They'll be back on the street sooner then McCarthy can pull off another guns-taken-off-the-street photo op we'd bet.
This being chicago, hyou just know that the "lucky" renters are connected.
Good, all those lakefront liberals living down there spewing their tolerance & equality BS deserve the most problematic tenants that CHA has to offer.
Why would anyone in those buildings beef about section 8?
I guess liberalism only goes so far.
was just gonna post the link & delighted to see was way beaten to the punch by Chicongo's finest & most Diligent citizens.
Well, guess, you guys can expect a crime wave at 500 N LSD depending on how many cuzzin's 'n such come over to visit & par-Tee & enjoy the amenties & facilities offered at 500 N LSD (an address that we'll all get way more familiar with).
Speakin' of cuzzin's they all cuzzin's cause nobody knows (or cares) who's your Daddy.
So expect a large # of cuzzin's & cuzzin's of cuzzin's to be calling at 500 N LSD
The AA population is most in-bred group in human history. Surprised they aren't all hemophiliacs
Wow, I bet that family will be voting democrat for years!
I have heard that there are $2000+/month housing stipends in certain areas of Lake County. And that they are not especially unusual.
The biggest get out the vote organizers still being cared for.

According to Crain's, the CHA has approved of 706 "supervouchers" for fancy HUD-paid-for digs.
Back to my wife's friend at the Aqua Tower. The CHA tenants spent most of their time hanging around the pool and causing a ruckus. None of them had jobs, even though one of the goals of this ludicrously expensive program was to place people closer to where there are more jobs. And nearly everyone else living at there, my wife's friend told her, was afraid to say something to the management of the luxury building about the unruly residents because didn't want to be accused of being racist.
There's a word for this - communism.
So i guess these wilding incidents and crime increase in the gold coast is related to these voucher programs !?
Call your congressman and demand this shady voucher program to stop !
More "free" shit for the entitled class, all on our dime of course.
Racist Mayor Rahm Emanuel gives the middle finger to the Children of Gaza.
Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants to open the city up to more immigrant children crossing the border illegally, with plans to open up shelters in the city to 1,000 minors by the end of the year.
Mr. Emanuel’s office also plans to launch a “broad-based pro bono campaign,” using the city’s legal resources to council young immigrants
Gee perhaps Rahm will use the school buildings that he closed as the shelters...or perhaps the district CPD stations where some of the homeless veterans have to stay during the winter, ya think?
Also sounds like the pretext for more violence interrupter-like programs, with a new name that does not conjure up images of failure from the past.
“The influx of unaccompanied child migrants is a growing humanitarian crisis that we can no longer ignore,” Mr. Emanuel said in a statement, the Chicago Tribune reported Saturday.
“While we have our own challenges at home, we cannot turn our backs on children that are fleeing dangerous conditions,” he said. “We will do or part to ensure that these children are given access to services and treated fairly and humanely,” the Tribune reported.
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2014/jul/26/rahm-emanuel-send-illegal-immigrant-shelter-kids-c/
Heh. and how was the humanitarian crisis created?
Maybe DOJ gun running to drug cartels had something to do with it?
Maybe the US drug policies that make the illegal drug market so profitable like the prohibition of alcohol became a magnet for crime and violence in the past. Ya think that may of help create this humanitarian crisis?
The mayor goes on attempting to take the moral high ground using the tired old political tool know as 'the children". How's that for conjuring up some images to stroke the hearts and minds eh?
But if Rahm cared so much for the children and is such a humanitarian why are no children from Gaza being given US Border Patrol travel vouchers to anywhere in the USA on the taxpayers dime?
What about Iraq, Syria, Ukraine, Libya...oh and let's not forget the latest exit from Tripoli. What about those children?
Racist president and mayor how else can you explain it?
Washington is fueling this violence in these places and then try's to take the moral high ground USING THE CRISIS to enhance their own power and wealth.
What about the children in Chicago? What about them? Maybe they would like to flee the violence that is being imported here by the politburos' actions.
Let's be real. Gov Quinn, Mayor Rahm, some of the aldermen. They smell federal tax dollars being dished out and they are drooling over the money.
When you stir dirt into something clean, everything gets dirty.
Stirring in scum from the 'bad neighborhoods' to help raise them up only drags the good neighborhoods down to the lowest common denominator.
If the CHA really wants to make a difference, they need to start getting people in the bad neighborhoods to clean up their nest.
Snitch on the criminals. Turn them all in.
Clean up the vandalism. Yank out all the burned out abandoned cars, knock down every vacant shithole crack den.
Put and keep the criminals in jail.
Stop putting up with 'da culture' of hanging pants, drug slinging, dropouts, etc.
Then investment will return to these areas, and they'll become good areas too.
But I can tell you - if I was living in a building and paying $3K/mo and some shithead was moved into the building - I'd move out IMMEDIATELY. I don't want myself or my family exposed to that crap - that's why we moved into a $3K bldg...
Enough of this failed libtard experiment...
You know, Israel blames Gaza terrorist for using the children as human shields.
However isn't Rahm using the children as human shields too?
To protect the attack on things like corporate TIF fund money, gifts to friends, he hides behind the veil of the children to protect himself from public anger.
Your new taxes are for the children. Sure they are. ha.
Now how could one not re-elect a man with such an open heart?
Dawwww the children, he wants to help the children.
Look at all the big plans for the children. He just needs more time because there is 'so much more to do'
You've herd that line before and if he is re-elected you will hear how program after program of each of these pre-election promises and initiatives falls short. Look at the track record it's easy. Google "Rahm Emanuel falls short"
Now we know what Rahm has planned for the 1,000 illegals that he's invited to Chicago: luxury apartments at the Aqua with views of Lake Michigan
Wouldn't it be better to find a $600.00 dollar apartment and put up 5 families

Any tie-in to the high rate of crime this area has suffered over past several years?
What say did the neighbors have?
Were tenants forced out of their leases so ghetto trash could have their homes?
Are new tenants related to anyone in particular in City Hall?
I would think that a closer look at who received those vouchers and who they are connected to would be in order. I find it hard to believe that it was just the luck of the draw, so to speak
This is bull shit. some of the DCFS workers drive Mecedes Benz leased by DCFS Where is Zekman when you need her

It would be better if they got off the dole and looked after themselves. Then, I don't care where they live.
The city will be providing vouchers for the new residents to tip the doorman and of course pay for laundry and dry cleaning services.
I am sure there will be a free maid service so that the new residents don't have self esteem problems. Do they also get that $1000 a month parking space thrown in?
Now with all the illegals kids flooding in here and rahm the genie in a bottle finds millions to house feed school health care and all the contagious diseases they bring with them! Bet rahm will say soon these kids need parents so they will bring them here on paid by U.S. Taxpayers dime.
But of course no money for police pension fund! We need to stick together some type of job action! Any ideas?

There's no such thing as a "bad neighborhood" - only bad people in it.
"Government is the great fiction through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else." - Frederic Bastiat, 1848
Chicago and now all of Cook County compel landlords to rent to section 8 people if they meet all the other qualifications. They've put the vouchers high enough so few places can escape.
Government aims to break people's independence, for that's where it gains. I'll the reader figure out how that applies.

That explains the dude with the Hammer who attacked a pair of older ladies I want to say near Navy Pier. When it said he lived at 400 E. Ohio, I thought he was a mental, not a bust out. You'd think they'd screen a little better.....
some of those high-class/high-rise buildings want to put in a special restricted entrance and elevator in an out of sight corner or the building for the Section 8 residents.
This is to prevent mixing and potential violence between the classes. There is of course some resistance to this move.
It is euphemistically called THE POOR DOOR.

Get out of Illinois - Land of the freebies. No politician or candidate has the balls to cut the freebie programs. You never have a good choice. Quinn keeps raising taxes and giving shit away but may let you keep part of your pension. Rauner will decimate pensions and benefits and tax retirement benefits. However, the freebies must continue. No choice but to get out.

Just remember, your stealing from the city at 31 minutes if your still on lunch or hanging around a court room after the case is called.

The point of the original post was that others can lie, steal and cheat, but if you get caught one minute over on lunch, you'll take the hit. One set of rules for us, another set for everybody else.
Poor door, or no poor door....the elites will have to mingle with the scum on the streets.
I agree with other posters....what a huge waste of money this is. Use the $3,000 a month to house MULTIPLE families, AND clean up the existing neighborhoods.
Seems our "leaders" won't be happy until the entire city of Chicago is a shit-hole like Englewood. : (

It is worth every penny to keep them from living next to me.
As Obama would say,"spread it (section 8) around!"
There's no such thing as a "bad neighborhood" - only bad people in it.

Hmm, Never looked at it that way. You can with out a doubt find blocks in Austin, Humboldt Park, Garfield Park , Englewood etc. that are clean, lawns mowed, no one loitering in the street/ on the corner & etc. but the people on that clean block probably own also and still have to deal with the residents around the corner who are the complete opposite.
I needs to hook with one if them hoes bc even with the police salary and side jobs, i still cant afford the high rise. The jeffersons had it right,"MOVING ON UP TO A DELUXE APARTMENT IN THE SKY"
well there goes the hood for sure.
There has been stories in the past of welfare recipients in NYC being housed in the Waldorf Astoria. No doubt there will be room at the inn for Obama's Invading Army.
I just hope the airlines won't be booked up when I fly from Arizona to Chicago because the invaders and their escorts have bought up all he seats with our tax money. Maybe they will get a First lass upgrade.
These "unaccompanied minors" are an invading army and our Federal Government planned for it long in advance.

Your anger is directed at the wrong folks. Do you really think someone from the 'hood is looking for an apartment on the Gold Coast or River North,or any other expensive locale in the city? The developers have found a way to fill vacant apartments so as to avoid huge financial losses. So, blame the rich guy that's using the poor to get over on the working man/woman as usual.
