The architecture of the West End, just north of the Loop, is stunning. I can’t believe city government decided to “disinvest” this area, ie “give up on.” There are still so many beautiful houses and they are just sitting here, right up against the county line.

This could have something to do with it.
Not a reason for the City to give up but I can see why people are not clamoring to move in.
