http://www.chicagotribune.com/business/ ... story.html 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. |
