The Bucktown convent article is amusing.
One group for the proposal then another group against.
Time to form a third group. People who are annoyed by both groups.
A direct quote regarding the conversion of a convent into condos from one of our fine school teachers..
“I moved to this neighborhood 22 years ago as a single school teacher because I could not afford to live somewhere else,” Johnson said. “Basically, I would like to see less density and the cost of the homes be more … let the other people be pioneers and forage out and look for a place to live.”
Forage? Homes should cost more now that she is there…? I don’t even know where to start with such a tiny mind such as that.
