Chalk this on up for Shiller but we should now start to look at the empty Maryville buildings at Montrose & Clarendon. Shiller controls the parking lots and she has a eye on this property for more low-income buildings and row houses I am told. We need to put a stop to Helen Shiller low-income buildings before they are built and not after they are up and running. Sedgwick Properties is the management company in charge of them and I would hope many would call and let them know our feelings at 1-773-278-4237. Our Uptown has already been ruined by all the gangs and crime that comes along with these low-income buildings and we cannot afford to have more built in our area......

What a pack of lies. The TIF was approved in 2001 by the joint review board with a commitment by Holsten and the city that the mix would be 80% market rate and 20% affordable. The community was told at Truman in 2004 that it was 100% low income. So Holsten is telling us that the condo market was bad between 2001 and 2004. Lies lies lies. “Had the real estate market been stronger when we were looking at condos, we would have done it,” Holsten said. “It wasn’t strong then and it’s not strong now.
