I think concentrating the investment in Jackson Park will do more to improve the blighted community of Washington Park than spreading investments around.
Case study: Look at how Lincoln Park the neighborhood developed over the last 50 years - radiating bands of investment extending out from the park itself vs. an equal spreading of investments over the broader neighborhood.
Same for the Loop - concentrating investments in the Core over the last 50 years instead of trying to prop up the neighborhoods surrounding the Loop. Now look at those areas around the Loop...
