The Obama presidential center and library is coming in over budget and way past schedule and those are not the only problems facing the project.
Some residents of Chicago are unhappy about the ‘monstrosity’ that looms over what was once a popular public park.
A number of activists fought the creation of the center in favor of the park but lost that battle. Now everyone gets to enjoy this structure which some people have suggested looks like something out of a Star Wars movie.
The New York Post reports:
Chicago residents blast ‘monstrosity’ Obama Presidential Center as displacement fears grow
Construction of former President Barack Obama’s library and museum in Chicago has triggered backlash from local residents and community leaders, who fear the $850 million “monstrosity” will accelerate gentrification, drive up rents, and displace longtime residents and their families, according to a new report.
The Obama Presidential Center is set to open in April in Jackson Park on the city’s South Side, near the University of Chicago — where the future 44th president taught law before entering politics.
