Changes in Chatham?

Chatham, Chicago

If you don’t read Levois’ Sixth Ward blog regularly, you might have missed a recent discussion over there regarding an observation by the Chatham/Avalon Park Community Council about “an influx of young whites into the Chatham enclave over the past three years.” Are they Olympics speculators, or are they gaming the city’s first-time buyer programs, the Council blogger asks. (The possibility that they want to live there is never raised.) Levois has done a good job in starting the conversation, linking back to some other Community Council posts about Mexican-Americans moving into Chatham, other residents moving out of Chatham, and whether Chatham will ever be “South Looped.”
