I feel as though you're intentionally misrepresenting what has been said. Not every neighborhood that isn't Lakeview is like Roseland. There are A LOT of affordable, safe, well-connected neighborhoods throughout Chicago. Houses on the NW side can be bought for $200k or less. Houses on the SW side are a bit cheaper. Neither of these areas has any immediate "threat" of gentrification. The south side Lakefront is a great opportunity for upwardly mobile immigrants in my opinion. You're not going to get the Big Ten crowd to move into South Shore, but immigrants may.
I agree that mixed income housing has benefits, but not everyone can or needs to live in Lincoln Park.
