A quick review of the last few months of Brandon Johnson's tenure
Conor, do we know who was getting a $100k a month in Brighton Park? Or who owns the west loop site? I hold to Mike Royko’s Motto for the City of Chicago - Ubi Est Mea? Or more traditionally - Cui Bono?
Hi Robert - always a fair question. I'm not sure on Brighton Park, but the Block Club article has a section on a few of the bigger West Loop landlords. My impression is that the West Loop has been a big of a wild west with the huge development boom it experienced in the last decade or so, though I don't know anything about these owners in particular (the few highlighted seem to be rather rather prominent developers/real estate owners): https://blockclubchicago.org/2023/12/13/city-paying-well-more-than-typical-rent-for-migrant-shelter-buildings-and-keeping-details-secret/#:~:text=they%E2%80%99ve%20been%20exceeded.%E2%80%9D-,The%20Landlords,-In%20response%20to
Thanks, Conor. I appreciate your effort and acumen.
