Advocates point to gentrification as the main culprit for the average 46% increase for homeowners in Pilsen.
– The Cook County Tax Assessor felt the heat from homeowners on Friday in Pilsen when they came face to face for a meeting to talk about recent increases in property taxes.
Homeowner Jolie Jiminez said there's nothing that could've prepared her for the moment she opened up her tax bill. "Because she was a citizen [and it was] $504, and then of course this was the last one: $11,261.07," she said. The apparent culprit is gentrification, where expensive homes are going up, bringing with it the value of the neighborhood.Kaegi met with community leaders in an effort to calm nerves and get a better understanding of the temperature.
