So much of the housing stock is still really good! |

The bungalow I grew up in never struck me as super easy to update to the giant homes people want these days. Usually they are maxed out with a dormered attic. |

There has been a Republican alderman I believe on the NW side over the last 10 years or so. And the wealthier neighborhoods get something for their money at least. Better schools and a higher police presence in the area around downtown for sure. |

But we both know that it won't. My neighborhood has two magnet grammar schools, an IB/magnet high school, two marinas and two golf courses. And stability. 2 minutes from the lake, 15 from downtown. Repugnant party what? Care to say the same about your new neighborhood?

Deflect all you want to. Englewood is about as relevant to me as Rolling Meadows is to you my friend. |

And who I love like they're my kids. Then make the neighborhood better. |
