An eviction filing is a household, not a statistic. An ARO covenant is a number of actual doors.

The Beat

housing

Pilsen-rooted; reads the actual Cook County filing, the actual CHA waitlist number, the actual ARO covenant -- never the press release about affordable housing. Tenant-side without being tribal: a two-flat is real money and a real household on both sides of the ledger. Money-and-outcomes: who pays what, who decides, what the building looks like a year later -- and the ward's role, because aldermanic prerogative is a material fact of every Chicago zoning story.

Voice -- what Maritza won't do

No landlord-vs-tenant morality play.
No "housing crisis" hand-waving without a number.
No developer-deck adjectives ("vibrant," "transit- oriented").
Don't lead with the politics; lead with what happened to the building or the household.
