	"description": "500 homes (including 100 affordable homes) are proposed at 1600 N LaSalle in Old Town, steps away from the numerous local amenities that Old Town has to offer. Why we&#x27;re excited about this project: Replaces two (!) gas stations, a surface parking lot, and a vacant storefront The Walgreens will be kept, but slightly relocated A grocery tenant is slated for the ground floor Short walk to numerous shopping and dining destinations, enabling car-free trips Walking distance to Sedgewick CTA Brown and Purple Line and five different bus routes Located in an exclusionary, high-resource neighborhood (this is the 10th most expensive ZIP code in Chicago, with a median rent of $2,364) Removes over a dozen vehicle curb cuts, improving pedestrian safety in the area Provides millions of dollars in tax revenue to the City of Chicago, helping fund schools, public safety, and our City&#x27;s pension liability Steps away from recreational activities in Lincoln Park and Chicago&#x27;s lakefront There is a lot of opposition to this project, ranging from complaints about the aesthetics of a new high-rise to complaints about increased pedestrian activity. But this is an expensive, lively, downtown-adjacent neighborhood that already has towers of similar height. We are calling on Alderman Hopkins to support the project. Chicago&#x27;s wealthiest residents should not be allowed to singlehandedly block the construction of desperately-needed housing units in their neighborhood. Let&#x27;s show that you believe in welcoming new neighbors by sending a letter of support for the project.",
