Lincoln Park ironically was less desirable afaik at the onset and was probably more packed from the onset. ‘Douglass’ had far far larger houses that were carved up into apartments on scale than Lincoln Park had because it was wealthier earlier on

That’s true! But take a look at Lincoln park which was developed sorta simultaneously and had a similar development from the beginning. It now sits at a population of 70K

I think so and listen I’m not cheerleading school closures but as somebody with accountant brain we gotta be real.

If you near double a neighborhood like bronzevilles population it might go from 70% African American to 50%. Which some people might not love and I’m unsure what the answer is there. But the schools would fill back up again and be more likely to be kept viable.

Take a look at Douglass’s (section of Bronzeville) historic population trends. It ought to be a goal of the city to get a number of neighborhoods back to peak population via building. The city needs to grow to keep walking this financial tight rope we’re on.
