Look What Arena Wants (UPDATE - Fixed)

So not only does Arena's Section 8 project have over 6,000 feet of commercial space and not only is going to be rented out for DOUBLE the going rate up north, guess who's renting it? The Night Ministry:

Arena Plan on Scribd


And check out the political "sponsors" at the bottom. Looks like a north side housecleaning is in order.

UPDATE: After 4,000+ views on Scribd.com, someone over there took it down. We can only assume Arena's people have been surfing around making sure it didn't pop up anywhere. We've reloaded it. If it disappears again, we'll post screen shots.

UPDATE: Screw it, we'll head him off at the pass. Here's the screen shots - click for larger versions:




Anyone know where the media is as we have a situation here where a politician is suppressing and causing-to-be-suppressed Free Speech and stifling viewpoints that don't agree with their own?

UPDATE: The Scribd.com version is down again. Arena's drones are working overtime to supress free speech it seems.

...unless you can find the cojones to stop this atrocity-in-the-making in its tracks.

Perhaps consult the playbook Garfield Ridge residents used when something similar was proposed for where the library at Archer and Mulligan now stands. They stood tall and flushed that turd before it even had time to fully disengage from the asshole(s) that entertained its implementation.

I have never seen any homeless persons where Arena wants to put this Night Ministry so therefore they will import them from other areas of the city like lower Wacker Drive. So now he can destroy the neighborhood and it will look like the streets of San Francisco and Los Angeles. He doesn't get it, he was elected to represent the voters but they said they don't want this. Wake up Arena.

On another note let’s examine the news reports on robberies:

Restaurants robbed on Southwest Side
Police are warning of a series of restaurant robberies on the Southwest Side.

In three robberies in less than two weeks, a group of three men wearing ski masks entered restaurants and demanded money from the register, Chicago Police said in a community alert.

The robbers have targeted the Scottsdale and Ashburn neighborhoods and Burbank on the Southwest Side.

The incidents occurred:

About 9:50 p.m. on Feb. 28 in the 8100 block of S. Pulaski;
About 9:45 p.m. on March 5 in the 7900 block of S. Cicero;
About 10:35 p.m. Tuesday in the 8600 block of S. Kedzie.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Area Central detectives (312) 747-8380.

Police: String of robberies on Southwest Side

Police are warning residents of a series of robberies the past two weeks in the Chicago Lawn and Gage Park neighborhoods on the Southwest Side.

In each incident, victims are approached by an offender who announces a robbery, Chicago Police said.

The incidents occurred:

About 2:30 a.m. on Feb. 25 in the 3100 block of West 60th Street;
About 11:45 a.m. on March 1 in the 5900 block of S. Washtenaw;
About 10:20 p.m. Tuesday in the 3100 block of W. 57th Street;
About 11:37 p.m. Wednesday in the 5600 block of S. Richmond.
Anyone with information is asked to call Area Central detectives (312) 747-8380.

Hmm we need the community to work with the police community policing right ed! So the offenders are? HUMANS! No wonder the detective division cannot clear anything right ed! Pandering to the criminals the democratic way again! Just shows the anti-law and order democrats in action as usual!

Ask the south loop & China Town how the Pacific Garden Mission is changing their neighborhood.
Where do parolees go when they have no one to claim them? Well they are parolled to homeless shelters silly. Little known fact: the pacific garden recently started taking familys with children. So, that means the poor sex offenders are now out on the street...

I wonder if this will be a men only shelter so they can welcome sex offenders with open arms.

She too does not know the difference between rights and responsibility.

The Night Ministry? A complete fucking nightmare.

I have been reading www.cwbchicago.com for years. Seems that so many of the offenders list the Night Ministry and other similar organizations like The Crib and the Center on Halsted as their current address, but most of those offenders are originally from the south and west sides. Organizations like this are nothing but a magnet for criminals.

Why the fuck organizations like this can't locate on the south and west sides, and therefore be closer to their client base is beyond me. But noooooo, they have to locate in low crime, high tax neighbors and infect those neighborhoods. Must all be a part of the plan to "fundamentally transform" the country.

Brace yourself, northwest side. All the crime that has been happening in the Lakeview neighborhood will now come your way.

#2 The property would now have a retail/commercial aspect to it that requires a heavier parking allotment than currently shown.

#3 Night Ministry deals with homelessness and poverty. The people residing in this project are not homeless, and they are not impoverished due to the public aid received. The poor reside in cardboard boxes and dumpster dive for all 3 meals. They don't have a LINK, WIC, and SNAP allotment.

Castillo, a former civil rights attorney and the first Hispanic chief judge in the Northern District of Illinois, has long hinted at his dissatisfaction with the tactics used in the stings, a staple of the ATF playbook since the mid-1990s that uses the promise of a big score to target what are supposed to be dangerous criminals. In reality, the stash houses — as well as the drugs, cash and armed guards purportedly inside — were dreamed up by agents.

In addition to allegations of racism, the prosecutions have also been criticized because agents can arbitrarily jack up the charges by increasing the amount of fake drugs the defendants are purportedly trying to rob — a move that can lead to stiff sentences of up to life behind bars.

Castillo himself got the ball rolling on the litigation over alleged racial disparities nearly five years ago when he ordered prosecutors to turn over evidence about the racial makeup of the stash house defendants.

At an unprecedented joint hearing in Chicago in December, the nine district judges with stash house cases heard testimony from dueling policing experts who came to dramatically different conclusions about what the data showed.

National policing expert Jeffrey Fagan testified for the defendants that when he analyzed 94 defendants in 24 separate stings conducted between 2006 and 2013, he found that 74 of the defendants were black and only a handful were white — a disparity so large that there was “a zero percent likelihood” it happened by chance.

Hmm not enough whites committing crimes right democratic judge,who got you that job? What sponsor sir? So they will all be plead or dismissed can you see the sky now? the civil rights lawsuits will rise and the coppers will lose so much which they are not indemnified for! Kiss your family,freedom,bank accounts good-bye keep being chumps!

We thought the feds were at least somewhat law and order pro-active but the democraticitis got to them also proven here! blame the police judge! Blame law enforcment no wonder so many are fleeing here,your part of the propaganda machine who is pulling your strings?

May as well put up a shirt laundry, courtesy exchange and some liquid stores within that compound.

Think about it...around 40 or so votes and this would even be a Post.
AlderThief Section8’Arena is hellbent on continuing the ghettofication of a once upon a time, working class neighborhood.

If you want help from the media, I just do not think it is forthcoming. The media are a left wing outfit who think that flooding good neighborhoods with half way houses, drug treatment centers and low income housing is OK with them. The suburbs , for the most part, do not allow this to happen in their domains. That is why Chicago is the resting place for all of the suburban problems and the media and liberals seem to be happy with that

A few years ago, St. Hyacinth Basilica established something called the Lazarus Gate in an effort to help the homeless have a place to shower, eat and get back on their feet. The logic was that if they had clean clothes and place to shower, they would be able to get a job etc. For anyone not familiar with the area, the Catholic Basilica is located in the Avondale neighborhood at Wolfram and Lawndale. They started out by providing two meals per day, eventually they were forced to reduce to one meal per day and after a few years, after losing complete control over what was going on there, they shut it down. The neighbors had people defecating behind their garages and wiping their butts on their doors, they would dump styrofoam cups and food on peoples lawns and the money they got from panhandling was no longer needed for meals, so they has more money to drink. They would fight in the alley, drag mattresses that were discarded and it was totally out of control. There would be fifteen men on any given day, drinking in the alley and then they would pass out. The final straw was when one of the sisters that was there to help, get caught in the middle of a fight between a couple of drunks. How sad it is when a church is forced to close down a soup kitchen and facilities such as this to help the homeless. In reality, all this did was fuel the problem and now that it no longer exists, we no longer have all the problems.

This is a calculated move by Rahm and co. to mess with a corner of the city where he has zero support, and punish them. Jefferson Park is doomed. The surrounding areas such as Edison Park will be in danger due to close proximity to this monstrosity. The only thing left to do, since there no longer will be any safe neighborhoods for working class city employees, is for all city workers to band together and fight against residency any way they can.

Teachers, firefighters, police. It’s time to drop the hammer on Rahm.

City workers didn’t support fighting residency because they were worried their property values would plummet. Well, news flash, it will happen anyway before long. And Jefferson Park is just the beginning. How long do you think Mount Greenwood and other enclaves can hold out once the powers that be push this project through?

Here’s a hint: not very long. Plans are already in the works. A similar project is at hand in the Taylor street neighborhood. A seven story building with “affordable housing” is being built over where the low rise housing projects used to be, the ones that were torn down about 10 years ago. Similar story - community meeting, residents outraged that this is being forced on them, a staged incident where racism was alleged against anyone who opposes the plan, and many a vow from longtime residents that they are finally giving up and moving.

Hope you people wake up. Rahm is playing dirty now. Has been for a while. He’s attacking you guys in your home front. It’s long past time to pay him back in his own coin.

Next FOP meeting, if you guys aren’t screaming at the union to take the gloves off and attack residency any and every way possible, then you deserve what you get.

You guys have to make plans to get out sooner than later, while your precious neighborhoods still have some value left to them.

You have that right. They move to the near north side or downtown, then when they have kids sell the downtown property at a good profit and move to the northwest side to raise their children. After their profits from the previous house or condo, the northwest side doesn’t seem that expensive to them. Happens all the time.

Of course not. Who would believe the count is legit. You are right. All those machines are wrong, they just make up the numbers. If the residents don’t vote then how are they desires to be known. That’s what we have elections for. I’m sure you only believe the results are legit and the desires of the residents are reflective of their views is when the elections turns out the way you want

Corner of the city where he has zero support? You are living in a fantasy world. In 2015 Rahm crushed Garcia in the 45th and 41st wards
He had 47% to Garcia’s 38% in both wards. Fioretti siphoned off almost 13% of the votes so to say he has no support is ridiculous

Has not ever happened in this county, nor this city.

Why?

Do I just vote for losers?

No, I used to vote for who I believed were honest, honorable candidates, rarely the incumbents, until I had to face the fact that no honest, honorable candidate is ever permitted onto the actual election ballot.

As for the desires of the residents.....well, with the registered voter turnout being well under 40% as a constant AND the -why bother to register to vote in this thoroughly rigged county and city-, (a quantity of residents which can be estimated at equal or greater than those actually voting.....perhaps equal or greater than those merely registered), and, not counting the non citizens registered, not counting the deceased formerly living but still registered, not counting the no longer residents but still registered, not counting the not residents but registered as residents any fucking way, and not counting the various ways and means that an actual voter's vote can mysteriously either vanish or magically transform from being cast for one candidate and counted as cast for another, (the incumbent as a rule), or the traditional offer to those who get their absentee ballot hand delivered by such a pleasant fellow, ya know, who, oh so kindly, offers you the option to just sign here and he'll take care of filling it out, your feckless assertion of an actual, honest and accurate expression by the residents as to their will is actually an attempt at a form of INsertion not requested.

The will of the resedents......what the fuck would you know, or care, about that?

That percentage, even if accurate, reflects:

Votes cast by those named on the registrated list, a list, as you well know, woefully lacking an honest accounting......ever.

Non citizens registered....check.

Formerly living, currently deceased registered....check.

Formerly residents, currently not residents, but still registered....check.

Never residents, but registered as residents....check.

Non citizens registered as deceased citizens....check.


This county and city don't tolerate no honesty, no how.

So, in a way, you have a point......there are those who do not think like you.
