More Magical Money
- Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s administration is forging ahead with a plan to build “tiny homes” on vacant city lots to create “permanent housing options” for Chicago’s “most vulnerable residents.”
Under fire for ordering a homeless encampment on Lower Wacker Drive to vacate the site while the city fences it off to prevent their return, City Hall has issued a “request-for-information” from housing developers and non-profit housing agencies interested in building tiny homes.
Responses that will help the city “assess the viability of tiny homes within the context of local neighborhoods, the municipal code and affordable housing resources” are due back July 13.
Development costs must “not exceed $2 million.” That means Chicago will be starting with a pilot about as small in scale as the homes themselves.
Near full employment in an economy that hasn't looked so good in 16 years, and Rahm has $2 million to burn. How about they rent some of the abandoned properties in Englewood from the banks (or city) and rebuild the hood? They aren't going to learn a damn thing if you give them everything.

He will find a campaign donor to shovel this money to-- donor will build a shitbox house at twice that market rates... we have been here before Rham...
This will be the next “no go zone” will be destroyed in a matter of months, next case.
This is the only country in the world where poor people are obese.
Even better SCC...
Put Rahm's "Tiny Houses" on the former site of
U.S. Steel's South Works east of South Shore Drive
and from 79th to the Calumet River...
You know... That selfsame parcel all the real estate
lick hitters were blowing their bazoo about...
That selfsame parcel where some high-flying
"Yerpeein'" real estate consortium hiked up
their skirts and fled from when they got a
gander at the REAL environmental impact
studies/surveys and not those fraudulent
jumped-up documents Rahm was waving around.
Rahm:
"See? All done and you guys don't have anything
to worry about, just hurry up and break ground..."
>Wave! Flourish! Brandish!<
Yerpeein' Real Estate Consortium:
"Ha! Yeah, ya little pansy! Put the damned things
DOWN so we can ACTUALLY look at 'em!"
>Snatch!<
Yerpeein' Real Estate Consortium:
"WOTDAFUUUUUUUHHHHHHHK?"
Nobody in their right mind
will build on that nasty site.
But somebody beholden to Rahm can probably
get away with putting Rahm's "Tiny Houses"
there...
>Welcome To Rahm Emanuel Gardens!<
Are tiny people, maybe pixies, going to live in these tiny homes?
Sure, build the miscreants of Lower Wacker tiny houses. That way when they brutally rape a twenty something young lady as one did last nite on Lower Wacker they can do it instead in a tax payer provided tiny house. When they smoke their crack or shoot their heroine they can do it not in the disgusting filth of Lower Wacker but in their new tiny house. When they meet their commander shooting dealer they won’t have to do it in the shadows of Lower Wacker but will be able to meet them in their beautiful tiny house. When they have to piss or shit they won’t have to do it in the Lower Wacker doorway of a property tax paying building but can do it in their subsidized tiny house. When their done with their free meals from the bleeding hearts that dish them out on Lower Wacker they won’t have to throw the garbage on the ground right where their standing, they can throw it in their neat and tidy tiny house. When they need . . . awww, who the fuck are we kidding, mark my words, within weeks of these dregs of society moving into these tiny house encampments the places will have the same looks, smells and issues that have plagued Lower Wacker for years. What a fucking waste of tax payer money.
Rahm's little black heart at work again, they're HOMELESS, it's their desire to live that way, some packing boxes from the office depot would suffice...
oh goody. just remember to follow city code.
pay off a few city inspectors to look the other way.
be sure to buy the lots from vanecko realty. who they bought for a buck.
for 2 mil . bet they can build a dozen.
what about these hospitals we abandon. Every room has a bathroom and a bed room. The buildings have an industrial kitchen . Each floor could could be used for different needs. What great pre built shelters. Lt. S
2 mil will hardly cover the bribes and pay offs needed to build in Chicago unless Rahm is willing to wave them to get his tiny houses built. Tiny dancer=tiny houses. Will be built by Tiny Dancer Devolempment, remember it's for the children .
Two million could buy a lot of cardboard boxes from Vanecko Box and Bribe LLC . Maybe not a lot but a few, two or three might get the forth if dancer is willing to down size a little. There is a reason they are known as homeless why fight nature?
Rahm is an evil little bastard, isn't he?
Mayor Rahm Emanuel’s administration is forging ahead with a plan to build “tiny homes” on vacant city lots to create “permanent housing options” for Chicago’s “most vulnerable residents.”
And I thought he was going to waste the money he saved when he cancelled my Health Insurance.
He finds money for everything but yet the city has a severe rat problem and he cannot even get enough garbage carts delivered the failure of the Chicago public school system, the failure of everything he does shows what a terrible manager he is now look at this;
2 Investigators: Chicago’s Garbage Problem; Thousands Waiting For Trash Carts

Rhamie needs a tiny stage far away from Chicago for his phony tiny dancing ass dog and pony show to.go. He is one phony thieving ass liar worst mayor Chicago has ever had. A big shame on you to Chicago's new media for allowing this cancerous punk to thrive here.
Tiny homes will be a tiny Heath hazard after a few months.
I’d rather see them put the new Tiny Dancer Estate Home’s on the west side. South side property value is slowing rising, rebuild it don’t trash it even further.
Sounds like a bunch of soup kitchens to me. Dirty Mike and the boys say............thanks.

Save two mil, just send them to Star Bucks end of story.
How about they rent some of the abandoned properties in Englewood from the banks (or city) and rebuild the hood? They aren't going to learn a damn thing if you give them everything.
Great idea, SCC.
Sincerely, the realtor non-cop. Not to be confused with the realtor-cop.
Aldercreature Arena has asked for a dozen tiny homes be located in his ward
Little tiny houses with no heat, electricity and plumbing????? What could go wrong????
Many of the homeless are there because of choice. Substance abuse is a usual cause. (drinking, drugs, etc.)
Forget the tiny houses. How about $100 and a 1 way bus ticket to San Francisco?
The homeless love paying garbage tax,property tax,sewer tax, and of course water.
OR i could live in a free tent
have idiots bring me soup every day
drink beer for hours every day
smoke the herb
get free clothes
eat a meal free at the local church
and crap behind a garage and not wipe
DAT IS DA LIFE... who needs a pension.
Why not build a sorely needed mental health facility instead?
The city of Seattle did the same, they built a camp for the homeless where they can do anything they want like doing drugs, alcohol, peeing or defacating wherever. What ever they want to do it's ok in the camp and the city provides all the clean syringes they want. Well the news interviewed people from the neighborhood that this camp is in and the neighbors are furious. They say that the scubags dont't stay in the camp but come on to their properities and sleep and defacate in their yards as well as stealing delivered packages and mail from them. They leave their syringes all over even though the camp has bio hazard boxes for them. So guess what? The city is planning to build another camp on the other side of the city. Just google this, there is a news video on this story. The Democrats-destroying one city at a time!
The choices they made is the reason they are vulnerable. I’m all for helping truely needy such as the sick or elderly who can’t fend for their selves, but haven’t leftists learned from L.B.J.’s “Great Society” experiment that when you give a dog a bone he ain’t gonna hunt.
How about spending “our” tax dollars on the ones who contribute for a change?
These homeless people choose to live like slackers despite all the social services available to them. Did you notice the big democrat cities, two being San Francisco & Los Angeles just give in to them a let them do what they want. Maybe these were the mopes that went to Woodstock years ago and are trying to relive that life style. Since the City has money to burn, what the hell are they going to do with our pensions. How about throwing some of that money into the retiree's healthcare that they took away.
More money invested in people who only require further spending to keep them in the lifestyle they have grown accustomed to! Fucking joke, raise the real estate taxes further and we will all be living in one of these cute little houses! That seems to be what the democRATS are pushing for.
Didn't know homeless people vote. Is ward captain rounding them up to drive them to polling station?
Given stringent "no-PVC" plumbing code restrictions, should be interesting to see how this initiative jives with Chicago's union-protectionist Building Code. Anyone know whether Building Code or Zoning Code has a "minimum area for habitable unit" restriction too? Tiny houses are usually prohibited by most cities' and suburbs' Zoning Code restrictions on minimum size of dwelling-unit.
Two thoughts. How do I get a piece of that? Who actually thinks this is going to work?
"Most volnerable residents", you mean people who are lazy and won't look for a job? Everyone has to pull their own weight!
Follow the Rats
The rats don't live out in the middle of nowhere. They live in areas that are full opportunity: food, victims, money and drugs. Location, Location, Location.
Build the “tiny homes” around the obama library. Hold one as a rental for that mutt p.o.s. De Niro so he doesn’t come into Mt Greenwood.
Tiny houses from Tiny Dancer. Tiny Dancer Village in honor of 9.5.
Fuck you Rahm
This isn't HGTV tiny house nation where you have some young somethings that want to either:
* Try to reduce their impact on the planet
* Get out of an apartment and own *something* to build some equity and work up....
This is some fucking pissbum who lives in LWD, etc. and even when they're offered resources to shower, shave, get some decent clothes and move out of that life, often refuse.
You think they are going to take care of the property? Keep it clean? Take off their shoes when they walk in? Arent going to shoot up/smoke out the place? Aren't going to accidentally burn the fucker down? Aren't going to horde it out with all the shit they pick up on the street? Aren't going to get robbed by other shitheads in Shanty - oops - Tiny House town?
Are they going to have working toilets/showers/sinks/kitchens in there? Who's going to PAY for the utilities? Water, Gas, Electric, sewers, trash pickup?
And you know the inevitable complaints will come shortly after these are built:
* We need cable!
* We need internet!
* We need phone!
* We need a computer!
* The >insert broken down whatever here< broke, and we need ya'll to come fix it!
* The toilet done clogged up!
* The roof leaks, and ya'll need to come fix it!
Figure that 90% of these assholes couldn't manage their shit well enough to work and live in a real apartment/house on their own and you want to GIVE them something new and believe they'll care for it? *ROTFLMAO*....
Figure the other 10% is so whacked out that they'll think it's a storage facility for their crap while they live on the street, and 50% of that 10% will end up burning them down from *something*...
Geezus - what a fucking waste of money.
A while back when Dougherty was the 41st W alderman, he once floated the revenue generating proposal that the City sell the property easements to the abutting homeowners who already fenced off and maintained their share of that square footage.
I can see Last Chance Rahm land grabbing these strips of well groomed alley space throughout the city and requiring that homeowners share that space with the feral unwashed hobbit.
Heck, Section8’Arena wants 8 floor SRO’s in the 45th W to house colonies of unemployed.
The share the wealth never ends.
In election years, even Shortshanks made a couple efforts to give (a) rebates of $259 to the tax paying homeowners while Rahm keeps giving back to the thankless unemployed freeloader.
Rahm2019 shags the stank out from crime infested Lower Wacker (and Lincoln Pk underpasses) due to affluent voter clamor, so where can the itinerate ogre going now?
Build it and they will come.
An entire village of tightly spaced wooden tiny houses makes a lot of sense, dud’nit?
Give them a cow too.
the current mayor and past mayors have given city owned lots away for $1 (one) dollar to the adjacent neighbor top buyer have been the churches in the neighborhoods on the south and west side part of town!
mayor rahm emanuel's idea is just public relations control.....
He will register them to vote,watch and see. A new civilian position is coming out. Director of homeless shelter .
This will be Chicagos headline soon:
This tiny house village allows drugs. Should it have been put in a high drug-traffic area?
https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/homeless/seattle-neighborhood-is-split-is-licton-springs-tent-city-helping-or-hurting-drug-users/
This completely ruins neighborhoods, can then build them on north Hermitage by rahms home! wait a minute rahm was on TV talking about being an "empty Nester" he has vacant bedrooms, bathrooms and showers lets see if "rahm cares" and lets the homeless take refuge inside his home! Bet they cannot even find the "wedding dress!"
We have shelters for the homeless, but they won't go there because they can't drink or do drugs.
The "homeless veterans" (in quotes since I suspect many are lying) have the VA, but they won't go there because they can't drink or do drugs (or got a DOD, so they'd end up in a shelter).
I'm sick of people acting like these people are lovable, endearing "free spirits" in our community, bestowing us with "smiles" and "jokes" before asking us for our money.
Homelessness should not be legal. I understand the pointlessness of giving tickets to the indigent, but I'm not saying this to be mean. Being homeless is DANGEROUS. Even if you don't have mental issues, a lot of homeless people do, and plenty are willing to hurt or kill you because they're crazy, desperate for drug/booze money, or simply angry at their lowly status and feel like lashing out. Not to mention that some people, often younger males, in our society find it amusing and empowering to target bums for beatings or humiliation.
That $2 Million would help a tiny bit with our pension fund.
Rahm couldn’t care less about our pension fund. He feels we don’t deserve our pensions and he has no intention of ever fully funding our pension fund.
By the way the Mayor and Alderthieves pension fund is doing very, very well.
The tiny homes will become tiny projects, and then these evil tiny projects will will need to be torn down, and their residents moved to better places. Tiny suburbs, perhaps?
you can buy plastic sheds at home depot for $1000. plenty big enough for one person.
The talking heads on TV news are already talking about feeling unsafe near their expensive condos.
The dredging of lower Wacker will be one more act in Mag mile shit show. Now Mich ave will be open heroin druggies, homeless, rapists and 100's of yutes. Where are the yellow jackets?
Great job Rahm Emmanuel! What dumb ass!
All this complaining and guess what nobody cares
Nothing gonna change and nothing will . Guys like
This have been in charge since the beginning of time
I was born and raised in Chicago so the first half of my life
I had no choice but I most certainly am only giving them 20
And I’m getting the fuck out for the second half of my life
And the truth is none of these politicians care that people
Are leaving Chicago ( Illinois ) in mass exodus that is obvious
they keep getting voted in so why would they care about things
Like that and things like crime and taxes when they no they will
Get re elected so if you can’t beat them move Texas
Even more:
Congress Theater getting $69.2M renovation, including $9.6M city subsidy
https://chicago.suntimes.com/entertainment/congress-theater-69-2-million-renovation-9-6-million-city-subsidy-logan-square-michael-moyer-eddie-carranza/
The plan approved by the Community Development Commission calls for the long-awaited project to be financed, in part, by a $9.6 million subsidy generated by the surrounding Fullerton-Milwaukee tax-increment-financing (TIF) district.
*Wow and more money will "richie Richie" rahm ever stop finding millions and billions? The only time he cries poor is when he is taking away police retirees health care and doing the bullshit "big short" on police pension fund!
This is an old video tape of Rahm growing up:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yddr5thpDTE
From throwing billions to illegals, even illegally giving them identification cards costing taxpayers millions to allow them to vote! Rahms hand picked city clerk Anna a young girl without any experience at all was picked to institute this plan by rahm, he gave her an offer she could not refuse! The offer a bigger CPD detail, more cars drivers, and another easy term in that job that does nothing but duplicates the dept of revenue and costing taxpayers about 100 million extra a year!
You have to wonder why does the city clerk, city treasurer have details coppers paid sergeants pay (Also getting the sergeants pension rate) and they have brand new fully tricked out unmarked CPD vehicles to whisk them away quickly anywhere they want to go! Hey mayor wouldn't it be cheaper to get them an Uber account? As another factor why not give up your expansive detail,and knowing you want your and your families ass catered to, hire a security company which would cost 1/3 less than we are paying now! Rahm you say your all about the environment and "going green" then why do you have a fleet of large SUV's that get at most 10mpg, and not buy say a Prius which gets 55 mpg saving taxpayers hundreds of thousands in fuel costs?
Tiny Slums
Coming soon to an empty to near you....
Where exactly are they going to put these things??? In Rahms neighborhood ???
OMG RAHM IS AGAIN PULLING MORE MONEY OUT OF HIS ASS AGAIN , Yeah OUR MONEY , 2 Million now , What a idiot , not only the Homeless are going for them Houses now , you can bet on that , What ever happened to the Shelters , did the idiot close them down ??, Are Taxes going to go up for this too ? , This will be his next excuse

Rahm giving away homes? I live in Dunning. Can't wait to see what my new property assessment is gonna be! Rahm can go fuck himself with his midget digit!
So you mean at 5150 n north west hwy? Wouldn't be surprised.
So, when are Lakeview, Ravenswood Manor, Wicker Park, Logan Square, River North, etc. getting their little transient city?
Who will pay the utility bills, insurance and property taxes for these “homes”??

Leave Logan Square out of it. We have enough super loud weekend 'concerts', farmers' markets. shrieking hipsters rolling out of bars at closing time, rat-producing neighborhood 'farms', chickens raised by self-important morons, frantic Uber drivers, bike 'stations' planted everywhere, perpetually indignant and personally offended liberal Communists (oh, wait, that's the alderman). We have no extra room for tiny houses.

Us.
"Tiny Homes".
I am laughing.
Who will pay for the tiny upkeep?
Who will pay the tiny taxes?
This is just the latest tiny idea from the tiny minds of the liberal left.
See Seattle.
It will be a tiny disaster.
