The End of High-rise Housing in Cabrini-Green
The Chicago Housing Authority recently surprised residents of the last Cabrini-Green high-rise by moving their eviction forward by several weeks. The new date? Tuesday.
While some residents indicated they would resist leaving 1230 N. Burling, moving trucks slowly filled and drove to new residences. By evening only a couple of families remained -- and it was unclear if they would stay the night.
See Mary Schmich's recent piece at the Trib for more information about Tuesday's evictions.
A few photographs from the scene are below.
