  1. Got places for refugees, not for their own people.

  2. Is this the same Chicago that is housing illegal migrants and they don't know how t help them find new housing under the extreme circumstances? For real???

  3. This is NOT a private issue. This is a serious crime. If any of those people had had a medical emergency, what would have happened then? ALSO, if the owners of that building were letting the property go to rack and ruin, do you honestly think that you should trust them to act responsibly in communicating to their tenants? They clearly don't know how to act like humans.

  4. I am a senior and when vacate order is put up, you need to vacate. Simple! Cant pretend notification letters are fake. This town is on a whole nother crime level.

  5. If they were illegals- they would be taken care of! Billions are going to ILLEGALS over American citizens!

  6. What!! No way…they probably didn't want to leave so they boarded them up.

    No one noticed the hammering one window at a time? Common on.

  7. Future immigrant shelter.

  8. This is some bull poop, got all the answers for migrants though

  9. Black communities seem like a disaster

  10. Why do democrats treat their voters like this ? Specifically their black voters ?

  11. How do you stay inside an apartment while someone is hammering board on windows and doors?
    naww….something else happened.

  12. Typical liberal hate for humans. So sad

  13. Pretend they didn't see the red paper attach to the door.

  14. Sounds like there were people at work that said, “that’s not my job” 😮😮😮😮😮😮

  15. AMERICANS UNDER GODS JUDGEMENT

  16. We gonna sue!….we gonna sue!

  17. Amazing how renters have more rights than property owners.

  18. Why wasn't routine maintenance being done all along and this situation could have been avoided entirely?!! Landlords are so greedy!! The worst!!! I feel so bad for these people 😢
