The issue in these areas is not zoning, it's scant demand, other than some very slow but steady investment in Bronzeville generally north of 51st and east of King Drive. Even if the developable potential under existing zoning on the south side doesn't technically allow for a million more people, it at least allows for several hundred thousand, and the infrastructure also already exists.
