I'd be curious to see the number of renovation permits if you find yourself with the time and curiosity  . I'm surprised by the amount of new construction, but it'd make sense with all the TODs and downtown high rises that have been built since the crash. I'd like to see more renovations that aren't deconversions (3 flats -> SFH). I'd also like to see the housing stock in Austin, Englewood, and the Garfield Park's see some reinvestment. Those are some beautiful neighborhoods and we're losing them. |
I grew up just outside of Beverly... some considered it Beverly but it really wasn't. It was more East. When my mother opened her family practice clinic with 2 other Doctors on Stony Island (long since closed) we strongly considered moving to Pill Hill but ultimately decided to stay put. That is another really nice area on the South Side that is often overlooked. Pill Hill is filled with Doctors, Lawyers, Police Officers, Teachers, etc. Some homes have swimming pools inside of them, etc.
