c00n Chicago Alderman sabotaging black businesses

[8WON6]

it's crazy how the black folks that are starting at the bottom and trying to claw and scratch their way up always get lectured about doing better, while the upper-class black folks either do nothing or stand in the way get to skate by and avoid criticism. It will always be easier blaming the "street" level black folks. People actively sabotaging black folks on the lowest levels and people get told that just an excuse or to just power through it.

Leslie Hairston (the boule) would not have done that.

On the flip side, I do agree, that if you’re trying to revitalize a neighborhood, some businesses I would probably restrict to a minimum - barber shops, hair salons, day cares, nail shops. We already got fifty million of them on every other street.

I could see where he was coming from until he told the cigar lounge owner that he envisioned a nail salon or ace hardeware in her spot. He shot himself in the foot with that so I don’t know what type of plans he envisions for his neighborhood.

One of the buildings they said had been vacant for 10 years. At the point, you should accept any businesses. plus two of those ladies owned the buildings, what are they supposed to do if they can't run a business out it? forcing them to sell to your desired business is wrong.

Every alderman considers themselves king/queen of the ward. I would bet money he's mad bc maybe they donated money/time to a political opponent. That's how petty they are.

He also became a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity Incorporated, where he served as the keeper of Finance and President of his Chapter.



Baby boule

I’m not going to go into much detail here, but I tried to partner with Greg to offer free rideshare rides to residents on the southeast side and he would barely communicate with me before he stop returning my emails/calls altogether. I had to turn to Leslie, the alderman of South Shore, instead.

Even still an individual politician shouldn't be able to control that.

the chicago aldermans do. they decide what businesses can enter into their community.

That's the decision a community group or voters should make. If the community can support fifty million day cares then why shouldn't it exist??

not in chicago.

and a community full of fifty million daycares is not bolstering economic activity and neither is it desirable. i would not want to live in a community that has the same businesses. i would rather the businesses stay vacant.

I agree that that is a fukked up situation but I honestly thought that potential business owners needed to meet with the aldermans first since they are the ones that approve businesses in their communities.

I mean, you can have some folks trying to open up liquor stores buy up the property and then find out the alderman don’t want liquor stores in their neighborhood because homeowners have expressed they don’t want any liquor stores, so what do they do?

These business owners should be meeting with the alderman first before they expend resources before later finding out they have no chance of opening.

I'd like to hear his side before casting judgement. His silence is damning though.

Doesn’t Chicago have enough vacancies though? Abandoned properties all over the Southside. Urban prairies.

How does the allocation of tax revenue work in the city? And how does the city decide the services and frequency of said services that a neighborhood gets?
