Live in the Ghetto!
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel Wednesday proposed using $3 million in city money to encourage 100 police officers, firefighters and paramedics to buy homes on the South and West sides of the city.
The program — which would allow public safety officers to purchase single-family or two-flat homes in Auburn Gresham, Austin, Brighton Park, Chatham, East Garfield Park, Englewood, Gage Park, Greater Grand Crossing, Humboldt Park, New City, North Lawndale, South Lawndale, West Englewood and West Garfield Park — is designed to increase public safety and support continued economic development, according to a statement from the mayor's office.
Does this program include 8-foot fences, topped with barbed wire, pressure activated mines, sandbag emplacements, crew-served weaponry, steel windows, doors and gunports? Not interested.
Wait, this is a 10-year "forgivable" loan?
We'll just hold out for the County offer - free homes:

- Free homes would be given to teachers, police officers and firefighters under a new proposal introduced by Cook County Board Commissioner Richard Boykin if they commit to work — and live — in what he calls “endangered communities.”
How about in exchange for a fully funded pension?

The 1970s Movie Omega Man with Charleston Heston shows how life would be.
Chicago only major U.S. city to lose population from 2015 to 2016

Can we get a moat too? Lol
Without a moral compass for the good people of these communities the City can have all the City workers living in these shithole areas and their presence wouldn't mean a damn thing.
Just goes to show what 80* years of demorat rule can do to people and neighborhoods. And now the County and City want the employees to fix what gov has sowed.
rebuild the projects.
"Endangered communities" - what a nice euphemism.
You move into one of those "neighborhoods", YOU will be the one who is endangered.
I'M IN!!!....Not! Police and Fire don't want to live in the city period!
Remember what happened to the Officer who lived at Kedzie and Roosevelt. He was constantly complaining about load music, drug use, drug selling, gun shots. What finally happen was the day came where he took Police action with a man with a gun. He shot the woman in the crowd who was unarmed and a thug supporter. Well let me just say the Police Officer lost everything in the end; his job, home, money and I'm sure years off his life. That was around 8 years ago.
You must really be under water to subject yourself and family to this.
Work hard, make a good living, raise your family and retire else where. I wish we could all make it to retirement but there will be some casualties of the war on crime. It's all about choices.

I respond:
No - just learn from the success of gays who do urban pioneering.
But who's to say you can't buy them and flip them, ala the Dearborn neighborhood developments that enriched the connected using a low purchase price program?
It is called gentrification, and is very popular with yuppies. Sounds like a good deal.
"Officer Next Door" program from the 1990's...
Yeah... The non-contributing, hard-head,
death-worshipping, porch-jumping m/fers who
makes the skeleton face at you when you leave
out to go to work, are doing the same when you
come home later in the day.
Rahm had this shit played up to take the
edge off the news about the Pittsburgh
Coppers prevailing in court regarding
their residency fight.
Compelled Public Safety residency requirements
are de facto indentured servitude in this day
and age of Policemen, their families and their
property being targeted.
You know... Like when #blm was trolling
Mt. Greenwood when shit-head got lit the
fuck up in January after brandishing a
pistol on 111th St.?
The Police are racist solely because they
desire to put distance between themselves
and the savage m/fers they have to deal with daily?
You won't live to regret it.
Oh, now you have money to spend huh?
Fuck you rahm, ballerina bitch.
Fuck that
Why don't the fucking Mayor and his 50 Alderthieves lead by example. Lift the residency already. Oh and take you're fucking cpd police bodyguards with you, they can also take advantage of the offer of the lifetime offered by that four full fingered midget fuck.....
Why doesn't rahm go live there?
When you factor in the forgivable loan it breaks down to $3K a year incentive to live amongst the shit. Thanks but no thanks.
Gee you're a swell guy Rahm.
Fuck you Rahm. Fund our pension.
Why doesn't that asshole Rahm take advantage of that program and move his family in one of those neighborhoods?!
Sounds like the american dream is becoming a reality. Money grows on trees, free houses, free food, free phone, god bless this beautiful city and county.
as of this posting. the slum times is still showing a boarded up building online.
I was offered a free run through college for my teaching degree if I would commit to teaching inner city. Decided I'ld rather pay down the loans.
Rahm is giving everyone a choice;
Either you buy a home in one of these wonderful vacation spots
or
We bring the ghetto to you in Jeff Park, Edison, Mt Greenwood, Garcia Ridge etc
Of course he might just do that anyway!
Hey Rahm, why don't you take one and give one to every member of your staff? Let's see all of you live there.... Beware of the new free house tax. They'll get the 3mil back and then they'll use it as ghetto lotto prize money.
If you are even thinking about this, re-watch "The Omega Man" with Charlton Heston.
What a joke! The city even placed a salary cap of $118,500 for a family of four. If the idea is to improve the area, why have a limit on ones income? I see ZERO applicants for this sham.
Didn't they try this before? Wasn't it called "the officer next door" program.
Ah, the return of "The Omega Man"
Why doesn't Rahm show us what a tough guy he really is and move into Englewood with the family and no bodyguards. Just like the rest of the citizens. Set the example Sarah Lawrence ballet major alum.♠️
I will never leave my pretty loft.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
The goal is to ruin the middle class areas of the city, 2 class's in Chicago, rich and poor.
The program — which would allow public safety officers to purchase single-family or two-flat homes in Auburn Gresham, Austin, Brighton Park, Chatham, East Garfield Park, Englewood, Gage Park, Greater Grand Crossing, Humboldt Park, New City, North Lawndale, South Lawndale, West Englewood and West Garfield Park — is designed to increase public safety and support continued economic development, according to a statement from the mayor's office.
These areas of the city are the exact reason the twerp murder mayor will never agree to lift the residency requirement for officers, fireman etc, we all pay higher taxes to support these multi generational leeches...
Early 80s they offered same deal to live in 7 & 11.
They called it Cop on the Block.
Do the reporters ask Rham is he would move to those hoods?
What the Fibune , Truth..........
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-chicago-census-met-20170524-story.html
Gage Park .Brighton Park were nice neighborhoods until illegals moved in
School over crowding ?? 3 or more families live what was a single family home house
End residency now. Let's take this shit to court. We will win
Chicago is such an entertaining place. The "police are the problem" and that's why the ghetto 'folks" kill each others. But to solve the problem of "folks" killing each other, the solution is to move police officers ( the problem) into the "community" to act as role models for the folks. Does this make sense?
All of Chicago is now routinely visited by the ghetto and all the crime and mayhem that it brings. Most Chicagoans do not begin to realize how badly rahm has completely and irreversibly destroyed the ability of the Chicago Police Department from doing anything meaningful about this tidal wave of crime. rahm is not a Chicagoan. He was not raised or educated here. He can't tell you what it was like to grow up in a Chicago school or play in the parks or neighborhoods as a child, because he grew up in the North Shore - a few minutes north of the city but a world apart. His residence is a prop that has 24/7/365 security and he doesn't care if it loses property value, because he is a "public servant" who happened to become a multi-millionaire in the process. Those of us that have worked the ghetto for decades, have sacrificed to pay for private schools for our children, because we wanted better for them than what our high taxes provide at CPS now have to watch Our city and department crumble because of rahm and the rest of the democratic and political corruption of this city, county and state. Very Sad.
July 1st coming up fast with Crook County, IL Taxwrinkle soda tax
Tax going to cost a family at least over $ 240 a year, . more if teens in sport drink Gatorade,sports drinks
The city just lost 86,000 tax payers last year.
According to the ethics agreement, police are not allowed to accept so much as a lunch, but they can now accept housing? I will happily move there if Rahm does...come on, buddy, lead by example!!! P.S. Where is this supposed $3M coming from? Isn't Chicago broke?
What a joke!
Why is it that school teachers, TV talking heads and politicians all say diversity is our strength, and then try to pay people to live in diversified neighborhoods? Don't recall and don't remember reading about anything like this when the neighborhoods were filled with Italians, Germans, Pollocks, or any other European immigrants. Schools weren't "bad" either.
Keep voting for those damn liberal democrats and when they have total control, they won't be offering you a place to live, they'll tell you where to live. Like it or not!
(How long have they had control now anyway?)
J.J.
A lot of time and energy would be saved if they just focused on lifting the residency requirement. Instead of attempts to "pay off" officers by forcing them to live in dangerous areas in the city, maybe it would be best to reinvest that $3 million (where it's coming from, I have no idea...) in the police pension fund. Chicago's police are not supported in the least where the mayor is concerned and it's disgusting to live here.
If you gotta bribe police, firefighters and teachers to live in a certain neighborhood then you know it's a shit hole. No thanks. Rham and company are free to lead the way and show how it's done.

It skyrocketed back in 06-08 era also and then see what happened !
Those neighborhoods aren't shitholes because of a lack of cops, teachers, or fire fighters living there - it's because they're overrun with jagoff gang bangers, junkies, and "I didn see nuffin'" family members.
Men who have 13 kids with 10 different women, then go off to make some more - while baby mama gets her nails done, collects on da welfare, and generally lets the streets raise her kids.
There's no morality, no accountability, no consequences for anything - and that's how they like it. They've had 60 years of "Programs" funded by hard working taxpayers - and they have squat to show for it.
To fix the problem will require some stones - put and keep criminals in prison for long stretches. Hard stops for welfare. Graduate from high school or NO welfare of any kind. And more.... but alas, that won't get the Springfield or Chiraqi brain trust elected, so it's never gonna happen...
Stay safe - tell them to fuck off with this program, and put the $3M into the pension fund.
I think the first one's to lead by example should be the Mayor's Detail getting these loans and purchasing home's in the mentioned communities. And not to leave out Daily's Security Detail, let these sissy's move into the communities that need leaders like the brave one's from these details. Maybe they can demonstrate there kills by driving gang-bangers to church or school in the safe zones.
For 3 Straight Years an exodus in the population of Chicago has gone from a trickle to a raging flood. Apologists from the newly created "TEABAG PARTY" like Ald's John Arena,Ray Lopez and their new mouthpiece Mark Brown will play the race card and lack of affordable housing. It has 0 to do with RACE and everything to do with personnel responsibility. My block in 016 has 5 languages spoken by my brothers and sisters of multiple colors AND sexual orientations. Our food spreads and bad dancing at our block parties are legendary. We have celebrated births together and mourned deaths as ONE.The common thread isn't racism but personnel responsibility. I recently saw a Ch 9 hit piece in which a M/1 from Englewood living with 2 small children in his parents home was bemoaning his situation. Maybe just maybe, if he took personnel responsibility and waited until he had a steady job before making babies TWICE he could afford to live here instead of becoming a burden to his parents and the taxpayers. Our melting pot that is our block and most stable blocks in this city would agree. Putting lipstick on the pig that is the 5150 Northwest Hwy housing project being forced on the good people of all colors in 016 will force more people to make the hard decision and sell and leave their extended family to protect the family are struggling to raise. This "TEABAG PARTY" and it's unwanted ballsack on the chins of taxpayers had better be very careful the good people are furious.
The City is in big trouble, people are fleeing the city for a number of reasons, and Chicago is said to becoming less populated then Huston Tex. To the Mayor, you are one of the biggest blow-jobs, so look in the mirror and try to figure out why good people, their businesses, and families are fleeing. Hey Mayor, who's going to pay for your Welfare, Sanctuary City Fund, and Alder-Fuck Heads packing in Section-8 Criminal Housing in decent neighborhoods. Do the math, your entire tax base is leaving, what are you going to replace it with, illegals, parole's, people on food stamps, or taxing drug dealers.
Within five years this offer will be available to employees who wish to live in Edison and Norwood Park, Sauganash and even Park Ridge.
Right, so you then have the ghetto rats at your door morning and night asking for your intervention. Otherwise, how does your living there make the community safer? Use it for free as your city address, let the city pay for it, rarely go there, and never answer the damn door. And by all means, never bring your family. Might work. In 10 years, hopefully near retirement, if it's still standing, you have a Section 8 rental income stream with no mortgage cost.
I remember going to visit my grandparents when they lived around 4700 W Monroe back in the 60s, loved going down there to visit. They lived about mid block and when you looked west you could see the Sky-Hi Drive In restaurant, which was housed in an old DC-6 plane that was situated pointing east. Looked like it could do a takeoff roll down Monroe.
Now, you couldn't pay me enough to simply drive through that neighborhood at high speed. It's a shame, because that was a really nice neighborhood.
Is Rahm out of his freaking mind? I believe he definitely has the Pelositis disease.
The city claims its population is shrinking (more on that below)? Empty ghetto houses piling up?
Here's an idea, give incentives to proponents of 5150 W. Northwest Highway Section 8 Project.
Another Rahm pandering scam.
Maybe 20 really desperate PO's will take up the offer.
And then $2.7 million will be leftover for Rahm's Illegal Sanctuary Fund.
The vinyl sided shitboxes that were offered up in 010 a few years back are pock marked with bulletholes.
The PO that lived in there rode out the obligation, only coming out in worse financial shape than when they came in with.
Getting followed home, burglarized and overall general thug gauntlets on a Sunday morning church are not worth a free crib.
But the streets are paved, the street lights and hydrants are on all day, as they say in the Le Jardin du Maghreb, Paris...très bien !
Here's an little bit on the story of the Annual Great Chicago Population Decline :
Chicago Claims: 2,700,000 inhabitants
Total Inhabitants at Voting Age of 18 (67%): 1,809,000
Total Chicago Presidential Votes cast: 1,023,000
Total Chicago 2015 Mayoral Votes cast: 674,000
Mysteriously Registered Chicago Voters: 1,400,000
Based on the Presidential totals that leaves only 890,000 folks under 18 in the Census -1 chittlin per Voter Household.
Based on Mayoral totals it leaves 1,100,000 folks under 18 not eligible to vote or +1 chittlin per voter household.
Something ain't right.
This is like the third or fourth time they have done this, but my question is this: If all these politicians want residency because they want me to be part of the community, are they saying I am not part of the community because I live in Mt Greenwood? If I am not part of the community anyway why do I have to live in t city.
Who wouldn't live in Gresham in exchange for VRI? Leave the car at home and walk to work.
What are the building codes regarding building a moat and stocking it with gators.
I think they are scared of us challenging residency
Anywhere you live in this city and county, eventually the ghetto will come to you. Rape, rob, kill and pillage their way throughout the United States.

Chicago is the only major city in the nation to lose population. In time, Houston, TX will overtake Chicago as the third largest city in the nation. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the following fifteen cities (population 50,000+) are, in order, the fastest growing in the nation. Note that six of the 15 and four of the top 5 are in TEXAS.
1. Conroe, TX
2. Frisco, TX
3. McKinney, TX
4. Greenville, SC
5. Georgetown, TX
6. Bend, OR
7. Buckeye, AZ
8. Bonita Springs, FL
9. New Braunfels, TX
10. Murfreesboro, TN
11. Lehi, UT
12. Cedar Park, TX
13. Meridian, ID
14. Ankery, IA
15. Fort Meyers, FL

I agree, their should not be a limit on income! I make more than the salary cap without even including the income of my spouse, and would remotely consider this deal especially since I am about to retire and don't plan to spend all 12 months/year in Chicago. Oh well, lets see how this turns out......lol

For the win!!!
They're endangered for a reason!
I think they already tell us where to live.
Holy hell, there's not enough money on the planet to put a hair on my ass in any of those places!
You first Rahm. Set the standard and lead the way. You get your ass in the ghetto hood. I cannot understand why anyone would have to live in the city unless they had to. All you cops and other city workers are stuck as more and more people march out.
Think about the accounting aspect.
Subtract your real estate and school taxes,
and you're working for that much less, locked in.
And in a way, they count on the occasional "off
duty" Good Samaritan" contribution of employees
dispersed around the city. The residency requirement
actually improves the chances you will never collect
retirement, because stress is cumulative (both job and
environmental). It's cheaper to cut a one-time death
benefit check than to pay out over 20, 25, 30 years.
Think of Rahm as the Hyman Roth of the operation.
You will die off and he will still be giving interviews stating
offhand that he would give $2M to piss without it hurting.
No Thanks....I'll wait for residency to be lifted, and then move to Glenview.
I can't stand living in this city period! I live in a good area but I'm fed up with the politicians and there crooked bullshit. I'm leaving Illinois for a southern state. Fuck Shitcago in Crook County. I'm one of those taxpaying citizens that will be fleeing. Enjoy trying to tax the ghetto non working welfare asses and illegals. Fuck you Rich Daley that started this mess and fuck you Rham that continued his legacy. Karma is a MF and hope it comes down on you and your family.
I used to live at 3151 W. Harrison because I spent more time there than I did at my real house in St. Bede's. Been gone for quite a few years.
They are never going to lift the residency so just stop with that. They are already crying that people are fleeing the city, do you really think that they are going to lift the residency and let more people tax paying citizens leave? Ain't never gonna happen. Best thing I ever did was get out of Chicago and cook county altogether. Stress level went down 1000%.
I've worked in an "endangered community" over 20 years. I'll pass on the free house in the ghetto, but they can reimburse me the cash equivalent. How about that?

John Arena (Dunce 45) is arranging that now.
The liberal democrats arrogantly know what's good for you.The same rules don't apply to their political leaders.Keep voting democratic.The results are in!
All you fucks working security for the major are nothing more then P.O.S. You bitches know what he is doing to us and you still kiss his ass fk idiots. He despises you and belittles you yet there you are on your knees playing the saxophone.
I just put my Little Village neighborhood single family home up For Sale By Owner in the Little Village neighborhood for $200,000 and $30,0000 credit at closing......I'm out of here next year 55 YOA and out!
Be careful with the fully funded pensions comments!
They might get the idea that you all have to go live there to GET them funded!
Worse yet, the union reps you guys have might consider that the "best deal they could get ya'.
Now pay up suckas. Oh and pack yer stuff cuz the "residency" requirement just got upped as the ante, so take yer pick off your list...all yall gotta move on up in dare. Or, not get that pension.
Someday, Garbage trucks will come to reap the exploding excess criminal population, and process them as food if the mayor and his lackeys have their way. That's all they would be good for....feeding the other near do wells.
As soon as they realize that the people they pander to, do not pay taxes, things can begin to return...but the Apocalypse may come first!
FREE HOMES to the Elected Officials who Buy and Live in Endangered Communities
See how many Elected Officials take up that Offer
Only Mayor Jane Byrne moved into the Projects
9.5 fingers won't move to an Endangered Community house
Maybe Lt NF will more into this Endangered Community house?
Maybe Forget It. Thank You
Why doesn't Rahm move into the Ghetto with his family?
Thr casual non-duty presence of "cop in the hood " may deter the less serious criminal opportunist punks for a while - until they are targeted for intimidation and the ultimate take-down ... when the community turns a blind eye- no amount of resident cops in the hood will have any influence !
Hmmm.....how can I make money off of this?
---Rahm
Why doesn't the mayor step up and move there, send his kids to the schools he says are so great. Well Rahm?
Hey Rahm, talking shit don't mean shit. How bout YOU move your sad white ass and your family into the same damned ghetto you "Think" a PO, Firefighter or other city employee should move to. While your at it how bout you send your kids to the "Wonderful" ShitCongo Public School System you're always bragging about. No I couldn't wish that upon your family, BUT, I'd sure as shit like to see YOU move in to one of those "low cost" properties. Oh, and no security detail either, just the same protection any citizen would have.
You "Old Timers" remember when Mayor Jane Byrne moved into Cabrini? The apartment she move into was "completely" painted, fumigated and "sterilized. Also the apartments on either side, above and below were staffed with CPD 24/7.
