Pritzker’s BUILD plan prioritizes development over affordability – Chicago Sun-Times
Almost none were affordable. Longtime residents were priced out and replaced by those who could pay twice as much. The BUILD bills recycle the same logic that hollowed out communities across the Near Northwest Side.
What this means for Chicagoland: National trends don’t always apply directly to DuPage County and the greater Chicago suburbs. Our local market — particularly in Bartlett, Elgin, Schaumburg, Carol Stream, and Bloomingdale — tends to be more stable than coastal markets thanks to consistent local demand and relative affordability compared to national benchmarks.
