Such a large combined lot would then presumably my sources say allow him to construct multi-family Section 8 housing, and thus destroy the 200 block of Union Street for good.<br /><br />Will the Aldermen and Supervisor from the First Ward look into this? Might they consult with Cheryl Roberts to see what zoning on that block permits? If zoning allows for such a residential building, could the zoning for the 200 block of Union Street be amended to prohibit new construction of multi-unit dwellings? (If he intends to put Section 8 housing there, might he also be tempted to put in some sort of homeless shelter on that block?)Observerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07476845411516796463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-50564177114966300882012-07-31T18:10:34.469-04:002012-07-31T18:10:34.469-04:00apparently the keys to the city have been stolenapparently the keys to the city have been stolenVincenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05548912912359709568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-26924422720536904902012-07-31T15:19:51.905-04:002012-07-31T15:19:51.905-04:00Is there any hope of stopping this last bit?Is there any hope of stopping this last bit?berowaldmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03033329354356760421noreply@blogger.com
