Yes. Downpayment assistance is becoming similar to the must-save-for-college impetus of middle class parents. We were lucky enough to have gotten into the housing market decades ago, and this new goal will keep me from retiring earlier than I would otherwise (if it’s my choice)

Ellis tells Bovino the people of Chicago have a right to tell him and his agents that they don't like what they are doing and want them to leave.

That's what videos show happened Saturday in Old Irving Park.
