No more "ride the noodle"
Joe Resident owns a property zoned RT-3.5 in the City of Chicago. Joe wants to make more money on his property. Joe decides to expand his 3-flat, making it twice as tall - so that he can rent 6 units instead of only 3. He doesn't care that his building will be twice the height of any of his neighbors, he has "property rights" and "should be able to make as much money as he can on his property."
Joe then decides 6 rental units "will not yield the return on investment he deserves on his property".........
