OMFG. I’m at the salon and a lady getting her hair done is spewing the craziest shit. She believes that homes and real estate are high because of Leticia James inducement ..

A Burger King becomes 31 new homes in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago
Before-and-after collage of the same Chicago corner. Top image, labeled “2021”: a low Burger King with drive-thru sits behind a wide asphalt parking lot; fall trees with sparse leaves and a tall residential tower are visible at left. Bottom image, labeled “2025”: the site has a new four-story red-and-tan brick condominium building with black-framed windows and recessed balconies; cars line the curb and a few people stand near the entrance; the same tall tower appears at left in the distance. https://chicagoyimby.com/2025/08/condominium-development-nears-completion-on-irving-park-road-in-lake-view.html What the linked article says (quick take) • The project is 3951 Wayne, a 31-unit condo building at 1323 W Irving Park Rd (Irving Park & Wayne) on the former Burger King site. A demo permit for the restaurant was issued Jan 2024; construction approvals followed about three months later, with foundation work starting the next summer; the building is nearing completion as of Aug 6, 2025.  • Homes are mainly 3- and 4-bedroom units averaging ~2,000 sq ft, each with private outdoor space; balconies include built-in grills. There’s a garage with 31 indoor spaces and a shared roof deck above it.  • Pricing noted on site begins in the upper $900k range, with larger units listed up to the high $1.3M range; several units are already under contract.  • Transit: within a block of CTA 22 and 80 buses; ~½ mile to Sheridan (Red Line) and Irving Park (Brown Line); 9/X9 buses stop at Ashland Ave a few blocks west.

"No planning. No proposals to the National Capital Planning Commission. No opportunity for notice and comment from the public. Just Trump’s whim—and a beloved national symbol tumbles to dust. It’s obscene."
