Rahm Will Probably Use Tifs On The Old Main Post Office And Rezko Village

                        With the steady upswing in the real estate market—and downtown properties fetching record sales prices—Mayor Emanuel’s getting ready for one of his     favorite activities: giving your tax dollars to developers.



                    He’s also proposing to give developers about $17.5 million to rebuild the    Lathrop Homes at Diversey and Clybourn.



                        Of course, that’s not its real name. Tony and Rezko—like Richard and Daley—are two words you’ll probably never hear coming from the mouth of Mayor Rahm.     Unless, for some reason, he feels compelled to suck up to the latter.



                        By the way, we don’t have to call it Rezko Village. I think Rezko Field or Rezkoville or Rezko World would also suffice.



                        Anyway, I’m sure the transaction is a big relief for the mayor, as it finally gives him a landowner he can mention by name.



                        I think Mayor Rahm would call the place Rezko Village for real before he admits to that.
