Quote:
hen Michael and Kristin Roberts bought a dilapidated building on West Randolph Street in the late 1980s, forklifts and prostitutes dominated the streetscape. The adventurous couple, a photographer and model, saw the former warehouse as a place to create an unconventional urban home and a photo studio.

They didn’t realize the pioneering move also would prove to be a spectacular real estate investment. In July, they sold the building for $8.5 million — more than 35 times what they paid in 1989, according to Cook County property records.


Quote:
Michael Roberts describes the sale to a Chicago residential developer as bittersweet, saying it was made possible because of changes that have made the once-gritty neighborhood “completely homogenized.”


Guess what fucker. You have millions of dollars now and further homogenized the area as a result.

He feels guilty he didn't "feel the pain"
