Called Garfield Ridge 2050, the community plan provides a framework for how residents, businesses and community groups think the neighborhood should look in the next roughly 25 years.

AHIL member Danny's LTE defending ADUs was published in today's edition of the Chicago Sun Times! 🏘️ Danny makes the case that more neighbors mean stronger communities, not more problems, and that Southwest Side neighborhoods are ready for this common-sense housing solution.
Accessory dwelling units

Ald. Marty Quinn (13th) has it wrong. Finally permitting accessory dwelling units, or ADUs, again would be a game changer for the Southwest Side.

More neighbors doesn’t mean more problems. It means greater affordability, a stronger local economy and families staying together. ADUs are a perfect fit for Clearing and Garfield Ridge not in spite of their single-family housing, but because of it.

In fact, our bungalows were always designed with extended families in mind, built with exactly the kind of flexibility needed to add ADUs in the future. It’s exactly the kind of common sense solution city neighborhoods in the 13th and 23rd wards need.

"Families on the Southwest Side are living in more crowded conditions — not because they want to, but because the zoning code doesn’t allow them to expand," UIC grad student and Southwest Side resident @dvillalobos.bsky.social writes on @chicagotribune.com www.chicagotribune.com/2025/05/13/o...

Danny Villalobos: The Southwest Side isn’t a suburb. Stop zoning it like one.
Zoning and land use on the Southwest Side haven’t kept up with its residents. They block new housing options and prioritize cars.
