| Subject: Chicago Investigation: Neighborhoods for sale Mon Jan 26, 2009 3:55 am | |
| In an unprecedented investigation, the Tribune analyzed a decade of zoning changes to detail how real estate interests have funneled millions of dollars to the aldermen who dictate what can be built. The series has examined how aldermen ignore city planners and frustrated residents as they frequently permit new and bigger buildings that leave neighbors in their shadows. The series so far: Part 1: How cash, clout transform Chicago neighborhoods Part 2: Community input an illusion Part 3: A curious tale of two properties Part 4: He zones. She sells. And it's legal. Part 5: Who calls the shots in your backyard? Not you. Part 6: Congressman's $200,000 loan Part 7: Gutierrez cashes in with donors Part 8: House of cards emerges in zoning-change game
