As Tent Cities Are Cleared, Unhoused Residents Ask Why It Took DNC For City To Offer Housing

Editorial Comments by Zelda Robinson, HLN - Founder

Over the years, the team at HigherLearningNetwork.org has been a constant resource for food delivery/clothing/resources to the unhoused community since 2015, when one of the Tent City Residents was murdered there. (www.chicagotribune.com/2019/02/19/man-shot-and-killed-at-tent-city-homeless-encampment-in-south-loop/)

Douglas Robinson was the little brother of Zelda Robinson, Founder of HLN, who made it her mission to continue to help residents there even after his death. Her years of working to help the residents there was a team effort, always trying to assist those in needs, despite her unsuccessful attempts to get the Alderman, to assist.

After years of servicing residents, the HLN Team still continues to service the remainder of individuals there.

“I don’t know why it has to take the Democratic National Convention to come here from them to actually do something for the citizens already here,” a resident of the encampment near the Dan Ryan Expressway said.

SOUTH LOOP — Residents of highly visible tent cities near the upcoming Democratic National Convention say local officials have swiftly cleared their encampments and offered them shelter in former hotels through the summer.

That includes a small strip of land along the Dan Ryan Expressway at Roosevelt Road and South Desplaines Street, which has been home to unhoused Chicagoans for at least four decades.

The city plans to close and permanently fence off the encampment starting Wednesday, Department of Family & Support Services spokesperson Brian J. Berg said in a statement.

“The goal is to be proactive and avoid last-minute disruption to the living situations of the individuals located at this site in anticipation of the DNC,” Berg said.

On Thursday, the longtime encampment was mostly barren of its usual array of tents, with single shoes and piles of personal items, some covered in mud and footprints, left behind.

They’re Building Tiny Houses To Tackle Homelessness, But The City Wants Them To StopChange Playback Rate

Encampment residents told Block Club city outreach workers have been visiting in recent weeks to offer them rooms in coveted city-run shelters, including the former Tremont Hotel, 100 E. Chestnut St. in the Gold Coast, which was bought by the city last year and has only 60 beds.

Those who accept the beds can keep them until Aug. 31, Berg said. The convention is Aug. 19-22.

Brandie Knazze, commissioner of the support services department, told the Sun-Times the call to clear camps was made, in part, to protect people who could be swiftly removed by federal authorities or Secret Service if they’re living within the convention’s heavily guarded security footprint.

Some still at the encampment Thursday said they had gladly accepted the converted hotel rooms but had come back anyway to hang out on the grounds. Some residents took the hotel rooms despite turning down shelter offers from the city in the past, with many living on the street saying the city’s old shelter system provided little relief.

Others said they had no plans to leave.

A woman, known as “Titi” by fellow residents of the encampment, said she accepted a hotel room but worried others who did not may eventually be arrested for trespassing.

“I don’t know why it has to take the Democratic National Convention to come here for them to actually do something for the citizens already here,” Titi said. “But I think it is a good thing for them to actually take the initiative to start giving them housing, because people have needed it for years.”

Morgan McLuckie, CEO of the Orange Tent Project, a local nonprofit that provides winterized tents for the unhoused at the encampment, said she’s kept in touch with about 20 people now at Tremont. She’s following the city’s next moves with bated breath.

In March, McLuckie and others built a tiny house at the front of the encampment in an effort to urge the city to provide its residents with immediate affordable housing. But the tiny house was simply slapped with a notice and ordered torn down only a few days later.

At another orange tent encampment at South Canalport Avenue and South Ruble Street near Pilsen, resident Henry said city workers have cleared the camp by more than half in the past week by offering shelter in converted hotels.

“They should have made it a little easier transition,” Henry said.

William, a former resident of the encampment by Roosevelt Road and South Desplaines Street, said he’ll take the Gold Coast hotel room at the Tremont for the summer before he heads south.

“I don’t see myself living here again,” said William, hanging out on the grounds Thursday of the hollowed-out encampment. “I think it [the encampment] is pretty much over with … It’s about time.”

The convention coming to town doesn’t make much of a difference to him.

“I don’t really do politics,” he said.

The North Dakota badlands as seen from the Theodore Roosevelt Expressway.

[bookgleanings]

In 1938, when the federal government first considered aid for interstate highways … Secretary of Agriculture (and subsequent Vice President) Henry Wallace proposed to President Roosevelt that highways routed through cities could also accomplish ‘the elimination of unsightly and unsanitary districts.” Over the next two decades, the linkage between highway construction and the removal of African Americans was a frequent theme of those who stood to profit from a federal road-building program. They found that an effective way to argue a case for highway spending was to stress the capacity of road construction to make business districts and their environs white. Mayors and other urban political leaders joined in, seizing on highway construction as a way to overcome the constitutional prohibition on zoning African Americans away from white neighborhoods near downtown.

In 1943, the American Concrete Institute urged the construction of urban expressways for “the elimination of slums and blighted areas.” In 1949, the American Road Builders Association wrote to President Truman that if interstates were properly routed through metropolitan areas, they could “contribute in a substantial manner to the elimination of slum and deteriorated areas.” An important influence on national legislation and administration of the highway system was the Urban Land Institute, whose 1957 newsletter recommended that city governments survey the “extent to which blighted areas may provide suitable highway routes.” By 1962 the Highway Research Board boasted that interstate highways were “eating out slums” and “reclaiming blighted areas.”

Alfred Johnson, the executive director of the American Association of State Highway Officials, was the lobbyist most deeply involved with the congressional committee that wrote the 1956 Highway Act. He later recalled that “some city officials expressed the view in the mod-1950s that the urban Interstates would give them a good opportunity to get rid of the local ‘niggertown.’” His expectation did not go unfulfilled.

Hamtramck, Michigan, for example, was an overwhelmingly Polish enclave surrounded by Detroit. The city’s 1959 master plan called for a “program of population loss,” understood to refer to its small number of African American residents. In 1962, with federal urban renewal funds, the city began to demolish African American neighborhoods. The first project cleared land for expansion of a Chrysler automobile manufacturing plant. Then, federal dollars were used to raze more homes to make way for the Chrysler Expressway (I-75) leading to the plant. In advance, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights had warned that the expressway would displace about 4,000 families, 87 percent of whom were African American.

Twelve years later, a federal appeals court concluded that HUD officials knew that the highway would disproportionately destroy African American homes and make no provision for finding them new lodgings.

State and Washington Street, Chicago (No. 3)

State Street is a large south-north street in Chicago, and its south suburbs. Its intersection with Madison Street (41.8820°N 87.6278°W) has marked the base point for Chicago's address system since 1909. State begins in the north at North Avenue, the south end of Lincoln Park, runs south through the heart of the Chicago Loop, and ends at the southern city limits, intersecting 127th Street along the bank of the Little Calumet River. It resumes north of 137th Street in Riverdale and runs south intermittently through Chicago's south suburbs until terminating at New Monee Road in Crete, Illinois.

From north to south, State Street traverses the following community areas of Chicago: Near North Side to the Chicago River, Chicago Loop to Roosevelt Road, Near South Side to 26th Street, Douglas to 39th Street, Grand Boulevard to 51st Street, Washington Park to 63rd Street, Grand Crossing to 79th Street, Chatham to 91st Street, Roseland to 115th Street, and West Pullman to 127th Street, where it terminates across from Riverdale Bend Woods. The street runs parallel and adjacent to the Dan Ryan Expressway from 65th Street south to just beyond 95th Street, where State Street crosses the I-94 Bishop Ford Memorial Freeway to enter Roseland. 

The northern portion of the Vincennes Trace or Vincennes Trail, a buffalo migration route and an Indian trail which ran some 250 miles to Vincennes, Indiana, was called Hubbard's Trace or Hubbard's Trail since it connected Chicago with Gurdon Saltonstall Hubbard's more southerly trading outposts. It took on the name State Road after some state-funded improvements. Vincennes Avenue, one of Chicago's rare diagonal streets, is a vestige of the Vincennes Trace, and further south the trail eventually became Illinois Route 1. In its early days, State Road was unpaved and known for having mud so deep it was jokingly said that it could suck down a horse and buggy.  In the late 1860s, Potter Palmer embarked on efforts to raise the profile and prestige of State Street. He enticed Marshall Field and Levi Leiter to move their prosperous and growing department store, Field, Leiter & Co., to the corner of State and Washington Streets in 1868, and he built his own Palmer House hotel nearby in 1870. For many years the city's most well-known seafood retailer, Burhop's Seafood, was located on North State Street, as well as the historic Chicago Theatre. The latter was lit by Commercial Light Company in 1958, making it the brightest thoroughfare in the world, according to the Chicago Tribune.

What Are Differences Between Democrats And Republicans

History Of The Democratic Party

Democrats Vs Republicans | What is the difference between Democrats and Republicans?

The party can trace its roots all the way back to Thomas Jefferson when they were known as Jeffersons Republicans and they strongly opposed the Federalist Party and their nationalist views. The Democrats adopted the donkey as their symbol due to Andrew Jackson who was publicly nicknamed jackass because of his popular position of let the people rule. The Democratic National Committee was officially created in 1848. During the civil war a rift grew within the party between those who supported slavery and those who opposed it. This deep division led to the creation of a new Democratic party, the one we now know today.

The Philosophy Behind Democratic Economic Policy

Democrats gear their economic policies to benefit low-income and middle-income families. They argue that reducing income inequality is the best way to foster economic growth. Low-income families are more likely to spend any extra money on necessities instead of saving or investing it. That directly increases demand and spurs economic growth. Democrats also support a Keynesian economic theory, which says that the government should spend its way out of a recession.

One dollar spent on increased food stamp benefits generates $1.73 in economic output.

President Franklin D. Roosevelt first outlined the Economic Bill of Rights in his 1944 State of the Union address. It included taxes on war profiteering and price controls on food costs. President Harry Trumans 1949 Fair Deal proposed an increase in the minimum wage, civil rights legislation, and national health care. President Barack Obama expanded Medicaid with the 2010 Affordable Care Act.

Explain Democrat Vs Republican With Examples

The best way to explain complex topics like the difference between republican and democrat is to use examples they would understand. Heres an example you can use to explain one difference between the two.

Lets say that there are 10 kids who all chip in to buy a large pizza. The restaurant provides only three flavors pepperoni, 4-cheese, and Hawaiian . Their group can only afford to buy one pizza, but not everyone wants the same flavor.

The government is a lot like this. For the government to work, everyone gives the government money . It is the governments job to decide how that money will be spent so that most of the people will be happy with the results. However, many people have different ways that they think the government should spend the money, which is why there are different types of governments like democratic and republican.

Going back to the pizza example, a democratic group would handle the situation differently from a republican group. If the group were democrates, they will choose the pizza flavor that most people want. So, if 4 kids want pepperoni, 3 kids want 4-cheese, and 3 want Hawaiian, then the group will go with the flavor with the most votes. It doesnt matter that the kid who chipped in the most money wants a 4-cheese or Hawaiian because they were outvoted.

How Does Independent Differ From Republican And Democrat

If you are a true independent in politics, you do not vote forthe party, you vote for the individual that comes closest to yourideas and beliefs. On the average, the Democrats are consideredmore liberal and the Republicans are considered more conservative.However, there are liberal Republicans and conservative Democrats.The Republicans tend to favor less government and the Democratstend to favor more government, when dealing with domestic problemsand individual and states’ rights. Republicans tend to favoreconomic laws that regulate as little as possible. Democrats favorlegislation that regulates industry for the protection of theconsumer. Democrats tend to favor some sort of government aid forthose individuals who need assistance. Republicans tend to favorwas to help the states and local, private charities helpindividuals in need. Libertarians believe in a strong support ofindividual civil liberties, private property and the free marketeconomy with little government intervention. They favor the leastamount of government interference. They believe the individualshould be left alone to do as he/she wishes, as long as there is noharm to any other person or group.

The Party Thats Actually Best For The Economy

Many analyses look at which party is best for the economy. A study from the National Bureau of Economic Research found that Democratic presidents since World War II have performed much better than Republicans. On average, Democratic presidents grew the economy 4.4% each year versus 2.5% for Republicans.

A study by Princeton University economists Alan Blinder and Mark Watson found that the economy performs better when the president is a Democrat. They report that by many measures, the performance gap is startlingly large. Between Truman and Obama, growth was 1.8% higher under Democrats than Republicans.

A Hudson Institute study found that the six years with the best growth were evenly split between Republican and Democrat presidents.

Most of these evaluations measure growth during the presidents term in office. But no president has control over the growth added during his first year. The budget for that fiscal year was already set by the previous president, so you should compare the gross domestic product at the end of the presidents last budget to the end of his predecessors last budget.

For Obama, that would be the fiscal year from October 1, 2009, to September 30, 2018. Thats FY 2010 through FY 2017. During that time, GDP increased from $15.6 trillion to $17.7 trillion, or by 14%. Thats 1.7% a year.

The chart below ranks the presidents since 1929 on the average annual increase in GDP.

1.4%

A president would have better growth if he had no recession.

Elza: Difference Between Democrats Republicans

Dr. Jane Elza

When I was teaching, my students always complained that there were no differences between Democrats and Republicans.;

They said the candidates were just the same old white guys talking about the same old issues. There was no zing in the campaigns, no excitement. The positions of the candidates were always centered around the middle and that was boring. They overlooked one fundamental difference between the two parties.

Governments regulate the behavior of people. Thats what they do. They regulate the health and safety of the community by licensing, inspecting, citations, setting standards.;

The entire food chain from field to restaurant to store is regulated to ensure that the food is fresh and edible. The workplace is regulated so that workers dont suffer from health hazards and unsafe working conditions.;

I dont have to remind you of the various traffic laws that we obey without thinking every day. Governments regulate the behavior of people. The key question is how do they regulate that behavior.

If governments force you to obey laws you had no voice in making or what voice you have is ignored, thats a tyranny.;

If governments laws reflect your position, even if it doesnt embrace all of your positions, thats a democracy.;

In a democracy, the enforcement of those laws should be even handed, not favoring or punishing people based on governmental biases. Here is where we have the key difference between the two political parties in America.

Who Is A Democrat

A Democrat is someone who believes in the principles of a republic, thus, in the power of the majority. Unlike a Republican, who is conservative in his ideas, a Democrat is liberal in his ideas. A Democrat accepts the concept of a larger federal government People of all classes should be benefited by the various schemes of the government according to a Democrat. They should not be concerned more about individual interests. This means that a Democrat looks upon all classes of people as equal.

In short it can be said that a Republican believes that the people are adept at looking after themselves. A Democrat on the contrary firmly believes that the federal government alone is capable of bringing about equality.

The Concept Of A Democracy

Coming from the Greek words for people and rule , democracy means rule by the people. As such, a democracy requires that the people be allowed to take part in the government and its political processes. U.S. President Abraham Lincoln may have offered the best definition of democracy as being a government of the people, by the people, for the people in his Gettysburg Address on November 19, 1863.;

Typically through a constitution, democracies limit the powers of their top rulers, such as the President of the United States, set up a system of and responsibilities between branches of the government, and protect the natural rights and civil liberties of the people. ;

In a pure democracy, all citizens who are eligible to vote take an equal part in the process of making laws that govern them. In a pure or direct democracy,” the citizens as a whole have the power to make all laws directly at the ballot box. Today, some U.S. states empower their citizens to make state laws through a form of direct democracy known as the ballot initiative. Put simply, in a pure democracy, the majority truly does rule and the minority has little or no power.

The concept of democracy can be traced back to around 500 BCE in Athens, Greece. Athenian democracy was a true direct democracy, or mobocracy, under which the public voted on every law, with the majority having almost total control over rights and freedoms.

If A Party Gets What It Wants In The Pursuit Of Delivering Something Most People Want Most Of The Time So Be It

There’s nothing morally wrong with being the party of corporate interests. There’s nothing wrong, for that matter, with viewing politics as the preserve of the few, not the many. What’s wrong is lying about it. What’s wrong is treating the opposition as if it does not have a legitimate claim. What’s wrong is setting off a conflagration of white-power fury that consumes nearly everything, even the republic itself, in order to slake a thirst for power. The day Joe Biden decided to run for president was the day this white-power fury burned through Charlottesville, screaming, “Jews will not replace us.” That day, according to published reports, is the day Biden chose to fight to “restore the soul of America.”

Maybe he’s full of it. Maybe Biden and the Democrats don’t really believe what they say when they talk about everyone being in this together. That’s certainly what the Republicans and their media allies believe. A critic said Thursday that we can expect to see from Biden “lofty rhetoric about unity, while acting below the radar to smash norms to implement the Left-wing agenda.” The same day, a Times reporter asked the White House press secretary why the administration has not offered a bipartisan “fig leaf” to the Republicans, given the president putting so much emphasis on unity. Maybe the Democrats don’t mean what they say. Maybe it’s just politics-as-usual.

Key Takeaways: Republic Vs Democracy

What Are The Differences Between The Republican And Democratic Parties: sciBRIGHT Politics

Republics and democracies both provide a political system in which citizens are represented by elected officials who are sworn to protect their interests.

In a pure democracy, laws are made directly by the voting majority leaving the rights of the minority largely unprotected.

In a republic, laws are made by representatives chosen by the people and must comply with a constitution that specifically protects the rights of the minority from the will of the majority.

The United States, while basically a republic, is best described as a representative democracy.;;

In a republic, an official set of fundamental laws, like the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, prohibits the government from limiting or taking away certain inalienable rights of the people, even if that government was freely chosen by a majority of the people. In a pure democracy, the voting majority has almost limitless power over the minority.;

The United States, like most modern nations, is neither a pure republic nor a pure democracy. Instead, it is;a hybrid democratic republic.

The main difference between a democracy and a republic is the extent to which the people control the process of making laws under each form of government.

Founding Father James Madison may have best described the difference between a democracy and a republic:
