Another session of Introducing Progress & Poverty has been added to our schedule, with a focus on housing. We’ll start with a brief talk by Urban Environmentalists Illinois. Part of the YIMBY movement, they are are people working towards a future of cities and towns with abundant housing, work and play only a short bike or transit ride away; safe and independent mobility for all; lively and green public spaces; clean air and water; and affordability for all who wish to live there.

Following this, HGS instructor Chuck Metalitz will introduce Progress & Poverty, a presentation similar to those earlier this month, but with emphasis on how George’s remedy makes housing more available and affordable.

This session on Thursday, September 19, starts at 5:30PM at Signature Offices, 333 S Wabash #2700.  Due to building practices, you must reserve in advance and the security desk may require you to show identification. Make a reservation by emailing us or phoning 312 362 9302.

The regular Progress & Poverty course starts the following Thursday, September 26, and you can register for it at the September 19 session.
