"South Side"
The South Side of Chicago’s once proud industrial
communities fell onto hard times during the 1970s and 1980s, changing from
thriving working class communities to places far removed from local and
federal resources, rife with unemployment, poverty, drugs and gang violence.
Despite this adversity, many residents have held on and guard deep feelings
of affection for their communities. More recently, though, another challenge
has reared its head. Residents in each of these communities face the very
real possibility of being displaced from the communities they love because
they can no longer afford to live there.
