So this is how Rosa is funding his "Latino plaza"? And we are going to call spending money on landscaping with a Central American geometric design in the pavers "TOD"? We are supposed to pretend that pavers and bushes are going to make Chicago more equitable? Talk about virtue signaling. The 35th Ward is bleeding residents, the only Ward on the North side losing population at anywhere near that rate, and fucking Carlos is over here planting flowers and calling it Transit Oriented Development.

Yeah I'm sure the hundreds of families being thrown of two flats will suddenly be able to afford to buy their buildings because you made a "Latinx themed plaza". Hold my beer, I'm going to make a North Pole themed Christmas display this year to stop global warming and save the polar bears.

What an insufferable idiot.
A bit harsh... but you're not wrong. Rosa needs to get his head out of his ass and actually address affordability issues in his ward-and spoiler-not through downzoning.
