Mayoral challenger Paul Vallas on Tuesday unveiled what he called a “second Burnham plan” to reverse Chicago’s population losses, rebuild “long-neglected” South and West Side neighborhoods and, ultimately, reduce violent crime.
“It is critical in this moment that we do not divert our attention from the real issue at the heart of so many of Chicago’s problems: the pervasive, historical neglect of Chicago’s most underserved communities, most particularly on the South and West Sides,” Vallas told the City Club of Chicago.
