Mayor Brandon Johnson wants to make a haven for illegal aliens on LaSalle Street in Chicago. LaSalle Street is an area best known for being an important business and financial hub for the city. Planting illegal aliens in the middle of that will escalate crime in the area. Is he doing this on purpose to destroy capitalism and boost illegal aliens? He has requested $1.25 billion to set up affordable housing designated for illegal aliens. The city council is not pleased with Johnson’s plan.
Blockclub Chicago reported that “four potential developments have been picked as part of the LaSalle Street Reimagined initiative, and it will create 1,000 apartments, including 319 affordable housing units. On Friday, the City Council will vote on Johnson’s request for $1.25 billion for affordable housing borrowing. There is reason to believe that the council will deny the request, as citizens of Chicago are very angry about the mayor’s preference of illegal aliens over citizens of the city.”
The Real Deal spelled out Johnson’s plan:
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELThe plan calls for $1.25 billion in bonds to be allocated over five years, with $250 million annually divided between the city’s Department of Planning and Development and the Department of Housing, for economic development and housing programs.
It would also allow numerous TIF districts to expire, and for the tax dollars recouped from those districts to be redirected to fund this initiative. This shift signifies a departure from Chicago’s traditional reliance on TIF funds for its developments, removing geographic barriers to how the money is spent.
Chicago reporter William B. Kelly, however, has questions.
Kelly shared on X, “Will Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson get $1.25B to turn LaSalle Street into migrant housing? I know many of you are furious with Chicago Mayor Johnson and I don’t blame you. If you are angry and frustrated, understand this. The #Chicago City Council plans to vote on his $1.25B affordable housing borrowing plan this Friday. This is in addition to the $70M request he has made for #migrant housing and care. This $1.25B money grab is what he really wants – and he wants to use that money to turn Chicago’s LaSalle Street into taxpayer-funded apartments for migrants. His Brighton Park tent city failed and his Bring Chicago Home Referendum failed. He can’t afford this to fail too. So, don’t get distracted by things that won’t work. As a resident, as a voter and as a citizen, you have more power than you know. Please like, comment, and share this report widely. If this troubles you, voice your opposition and contact your alderman.”
