Well, of course I care for that part of the city too, and I am very happy to see a great development go down there. Without question, the far South Side needs investment, and is just as deserving as any other part of Chicago.
But the reality of it is, 1) This is still not the most logical place to have such a facility, and 2) we should be very thankful that the Salvation Army was committed to Chicago strongly so that they didn't just find a more receptive city altogether.
