Students charge UC policy displaces Hyde Park low income residents
A 22 page report by University of Chicago Students for Alternatives Housing Task Force accuses UC housing policy of pushing low and fixed income residents from Hyde Park Kenwood. It links condo conversions and dorm purchases to a 14 percent drop in rental units since 1970, a sub 1 percent vacancy rate, and rent increases around 7 to 8 percent annually. The study urges community driven planning and broader participation to address the housing crisis.
