Are you referring to Little Village? I didn't see LV on the list on the previous page...
BTW this is great data for me as an investor. It proves that these downtrodden areas can turn around and become attractive to new residents and it proves my point that Chicago is not shrivelling like a raisin in the sun after all. People want to live here. People even want to live in "those areas", all we need to do is build it and they will come.
At some point the outside world is going to catch on to what is going on in Chicago. At some point people are going to realize this is the only great city on earth with abundant vacant proeprty near it's core. Hopefully Chicago is ready for the influx by then and prepared herself in such a way that those who have been historically systematically excluded from the benefits of landownership are best positioned to reap the rewards of this country pulling it's head from it's ass about our city.
