Property taxes in Chicago’s Black neighborhoods have soared—some bills doubled or even tripled—while downtown commercial properties are paying less. Residents in places like West Garfield Park and North Lawndale are feeling the squeeze, with many worried about losing homes they’ve worked for generations to keep. Meanwhile, the same communities are pouring millions into the state lottery and casinos, but see little benefit in return. It’s a double hit: rising costs at home, and money flowing out through gambling. Shouldn’t revenue from these sources be reinvested in the neighborhoods that need it most? What changes would you want to see? #News #Chicago #PropertyTax
