When this passes I'm gonna become a real estate developer tearing down single family homes west of Broadway and building 6 flats in their place. I'll sell them at cost. Schadenfreude Real Estate Corp.
I am excited to see Edgewater Neighbors for Responsible Development's take on allowing 4-6 units per lot...gasp...west of Broadway
There’s a lot to love in Pritzker’s “Building Up Illinois Developments” (BUILD) plan!

ADUs allowed statewide 🏘️
Up to eight homes on large residential lots 😏
Middle Housing exempt from parking mandates 🅿️
Standardized impact fees & review timelines 💰
