  1. STIR THAT POT NBC.
    YOU DO A STORY LIKE THIS THEN BURY THESE SAME PEOPLE IN ILLEGAL ALIENS. NBC= Back stabbing frauds

  2. You are failing America! Find your journalistic balls and stop peddling sensationalism and propaganda for trump and the republican party. Try reporting Biden's actual successes!

  3. ANNOYING HOW THIS LADY SAYS THE WORD "HOME"

    LIKE SHE'S TRYING TO GET AS MUCH BANG FOR HER BUCK OUT OF IT

  4. WHAT WAS SHE MUMBLING ABOUT ?

    SOMETHING ABOUT HOME, BUT SHE MUMBLED THE REST

    STRANGE

    SOME PEOPLE TAKE THEIR TATTOOS WAY TOO SERIOUSLY

  5. Democrats going to give these houses to Mexicans. Prove me wrong.. 😢

  6. Migrants are coming Dems already got black votes, move on

  7. Black racial solidarity = good
    White racial solidarity = bad

  8. wipe on wipe off, all the stuff has stuff all over it, a weeks muck, or even months to a year, soapy hot damp, and again with a dry one, just casually and attentively.

  9. That good that this person is trying to help people stay in their homes, there is so many homeless people out there. It good when someone cares.

  10. homes that old, anything improved with it would be welcome, fill in the stopgaps, insulate hardboard, refill the mortar joints after cleaning and treatment both inside and outside, paint or stain, saving to get another split mounting and drilling and some electrical tie in work, stronger newer and more solid silling for the doors and windows, insulated and more importantly sealed windows and doors, save up and get a newer furnace or hvac, place better venting outside of your home with a masonry bit and some steel wool, i heard there was a new material that could keep foundations from breaking apart even if it begins to break apart, all of that soil 2-3 feet down needs to be replaced with local fresh clean soil, have you gotten fiber optics yet, always a question hows the water,

  11. Then maybe the democrats shouldn’t give their housing to illegal immigrants.

  12. while it's heartening to witness initiatives addressing discriminatory housing policies in Chicago's Black communities, it's crucial to acknowledge that revitalizing vacant lots is just one step. Real social justice demands a more comprehensive approach, including addressing historical injustices and providing substantial reparations. This community effort is commendable, but the journey toward equality requires systemic changes and reparative actions to rectify past wrongs. Let's keep pushing for genuine and lasting social justice. 💬🏡 #SocialJustice #ChicagoHousing #CommunityInitiative

  13. Black people can build their own homes like Hispanic workers. Unfortunately, there are very few black construction workers in the real world.
