This city has serious and fundamental problems that are being covered to an extent by big private investment. In areas that don't have that, there's not much else to keep things going.

But there's also a conscious effort to try and rebuild the for example, the south side. Most recently the proposed Red Line extension and the new under construction library at Altgeld Gardens.
Not the mention the 3 library housing developments that just broke ground on Sunday (not on south side, but in the west).
