Too many bad apartment buildings still remain in that area. The only solution to the violence is to push out the people who generate it, and that means riding herd on badly-run apartment buildings. MAS used to maintain a list of bad buildings online, and yanked their operators into housing court for code violations, neighborhood endangerment, and harboring criminal activity. Osterman needs to do the same.

ASCO representatives were told by the Commander of the 24th district last night that the flag-down of the police car was at Granville and Broadway and that was why there were so many squad cars there. This is the reason for the yellow tape. There was not a second shooting at Granville and Broadway.

Which is not to say that I don’t agree that we could always use more!

[...] than 24 hours after yesterday’s incident in which a man was shot and killed, more gunshots rang out in the neighborhood’s northeast side, which is becoming quite the war [...]

Indeed. A homeless explosion solves everything.

I think we had a really great police presence all summer. I walk my dog at all hours of the night and see them coming down glenlake, down sheridan, up and down the streets. Last summer there were six or seven shootings, I think we’re improving again.

We need to organize a group through our Alderman. Any suggestions on how we can get started bringing in more owners and businesses in the area.

Remove any subsidized housing (other than senior) from the neighborhood, take away welfare from any family that has a criminal in it, stop subsidizing birth rates of the welfare population by giving them Medicaid and food stamps, make everybody, who is on any type of welfare, do something for the City (e.g., clean the streets, parks, CTA buses and trains), and it will solve the majority of our neighborhood problems.

I have lived in this neighborhood for 15 years and it seems recently I see a lot of news on gangs in this neighborhood. What can we do as a group to bring this back to a clean, friendly, safe neighborhood?

I live in Edgewater for 15 years and had not thought about gangs. How can I find out more about what is going on in my community and help get it cleaned up?
