Cabrini Green
The history doesn’t say why it was built on the North Shore or the reason it was built and who was responsible for having it built. Cabrini was built on the Near North side. It’s primary residence were low income new in the country Italians. It was built because the north Shore had turns into a more and more wealthy area with many conservative Republican voters. There was a day where the Gold Coast was the Wild West wit brothels and speakeasy’s and democrats ran the 42nd Ward. As it changed to a more influential, wealthy ward the political arena started to change. In order to change the amount of Republican voters now on the rise Senator and house Minority leader who ran the 42nd ward had Cabrini built to bring in hundreds and finally thousands of residents in that were indebted to the Democrat party. The precinct captains would literally pick up the residents and take them to the voting stations. This kept the numbers way up in favor of the Democrat party. It kept the late Senator Willian J Connors and after Senator Connors passed George Dunn ( a previous employee of Senator Connors and his son Patrick Connors) in power for many many years. My Grandfather. Senator William J Connors ran the 42nd ward for 43 years and then George Dunn had it for many years after.
