AND those same politicians don't have the gonads to force developers to actually include sufficient lower-cost housing in their urban development plans. They will only force the developers to pay an offset fee, which the politicians then waste on other stuff without actually developing any lower-cost housing. AND in the few cases where lower-cost (i.e., subsidized) housing IS developed, the income levels to qualify are either non-existent, not enforced, or too high to allow the target population to get in. |

Answer: The already overburdened taxpayer. Why is it that groups of people feel entitled to force other people to pay for their endless demands? And the striking Chicago teachers aren't working for starvation wages and benefits. "Meanwhile, taxpayers recognize that Chicago's teacher salaries, the median of which is more than $78,000, are high compared with other big cities, and the school district is on shaky fiscal ground." "Under the current Chicago union contract, beginning teachers make a base salary of just over $56,000 a year, while the most senior teachers with extra credentials make $108,242 a year." |
