South Kenwood developments[edit]

Article states:

South Kenwood fared this period rather better, escaping middle-class flight in the 1970s due to the efforts of the Kenwood Open House Committee to have the area zoned single-family homes only, halting a trend then underway to apartment and rooming-house conversion. In the real estate boom of the mid-2000s, houses sold for in excess of two million dollars, and long vacant lots were redeveloped with high-end luxury houses.

Several problems with this: Unsourced description of reasons why South Kenwood fared better than North Kenwood focuses on a few factors and may not be accurate. Also, many other actors were at work in addition to the Kenwood Open House Committee, notably including the South East Chicago Commission (SECC)and the University of Chicago. This needs more research. In the meantime, have taken out unsourced and (to my mind) controversial statements. --Sjsilverman (talk) 00:07, 4 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
