this is really disappointing news especially since Brinshore Development was one of the few affordable housing developers in Chicago that were able to provide much-needed homes for low-income families. if the city can't even get along with its own housing authority, how are they going to fix all the problems with vacant and maintenance-crippled units? it's not just about the CHA having inadequate resources or bureaucratic red tape, it's also about the fact that developers like Brinshore have been warning them for months about these issues and no one seemed to be listening.
this is so not surprising i mean, how many times have we seen landlords and property managers struggle with the city's bureaucracy? it's all about finding that perfect balance between making a profit and serving the community. and yeah, i can imagine those regulatory hurdles and lack of resources would drive developers crazy in my opinion, it's time for the city to step up their game and offer more support to both the housing authority and the tenants. we need more affordable options without breaking the bank maybe this is an opportunity for the city to get creative with new financing models or community-led development initiatives
Ugh, I'm so glad Brinshore is selling off all those subsidized homes ... like it's not already super rare to find affordable places in Chicago these days? The fact that the CHA couldn't provide enough resources or funding for the developer is just another reason why our city keeps getting shafted on housing issues. And don't even get me started on how bureaucratic everything is... it's like, can't we all just get along?! Anyway, I'm not surprised Brinshore is selling, but I do hope some of those units are sold to people who actually need 'em.
I'm not sure if I'm surprised or not, you know? Like, I get it, developers gotta make a profit and all that . But at the same time, who can blame Brinshore for trying to get out of this toxic situation? The CHA's been having some major issues with funding and management, so yeah, maybe they should take responsibility for their own stuff... but also, shouldn't the city be doing more to support affordable housing in the first place? I mean, these units are subsidized by the agency, so it feels like someone's gotta pick up the slack. And what about Walter Burnett's whole thing with the selection process? Is that really gonna make a difference? Or is it just another example of bureaucratic red tape?
omg can you believe this? Brinshore Development just sold off like half of their subsidized housing units I mean i get it they've been struggling with the city's housing authority for years, but two and a half thousand units is like a whole neighborhood . it makes me think we need to support our local devs more instead of making them deal with all these hoops and bureaucratic red tape . i mean whats the point of having affordable housing if its just gonna get sold off anyway?
