Don’t Be Fooled
Emanuel Congregation has fewer than 150 families remaining.
They want to trade in their non-profit status, so a for-profit private developer can build a much smaller synagogue, and then build a $$$ 23-story multiplex $$$ for itself with the remaining land.
Chicago is supposed to have a chance to buy the land at Fair Market Value. (Chicago Lakefront Protection Ordinance of 1973)
Let’s make this land work for the BENEFIT of ALL.
For the BENEFIT of ALL
Chicago’s Lakefront Protection Ordinance of 1973

“Affordable Housing” is a Lie
1) Emmanuel Congregation trades in its non-profit status
2) For-Profit Private Developer gives them a tiny footprint and rakes in the $$$
Emanuel’s Congregation
has been SHRINKING for DECADES
so they want to trade their
NON-PROFIT STATUS
to a
FOR-PROFIT PRIVATE DEVELOPER
to erect
a TWENTY-THREE STORY multiplex
Calling it “affordable housing”?
$$$ Sneaky sneaky! $$$
