“Olympic Village could be the start of Chicago’s atonement for what it has done over the past 60 years to the near south lakefront. Redemption will be a long hard climb, though. It will require vigilance and pressure from the public and abundant good health for Chicago’s housing market. It also demands good faith on the part of the city’s political and civic leaders.” -Lois Wille, former editor of the Chicago Tribune editorial page, writing in today’s Trib on Mayor Richard Daley’s plan to build an Olympic Village that would eventually become residential housing. Daley has said he’ll build the Olympic Village whether or not Chicago hosts the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.
