Great n’hood tavern in Morton Grove. Zoning code reforms need to also allow small-scale commercial opportunities tucked in neighborhoods. Density w/o places to walk or bike does little to build communities. @govpritzker.illinois.gov @yimbyaction.bsky.social @abundanthousingil.bsky.social

Homes like this are vital for reducing the housing shortage and keeping Chicago affordable for everyone. But making them easier to build requires better elected officials! Vote for an @abundanthousingil.bsky.social endorsed candidate this primary election: abundanthousingillinois.org/endorsements/
