Furious Chicago Professors Demand Obama Move His ‘Socially Regressive’ Presidential Center Elsewhere
Daily Caller, Jan 10, 2018, Benny Johnson

The library’s design and location has been a source of controversy itself within the Chicago community. In a recent letter, over 100 members of the University of Chicago faculty and dozens of community groups strongly condemn Obama’s plan. Why? Because, according to the professors, the Obama Presidential Center wastes millions of taxpayer dollars in an already broke state, destroys a public park and is “socially regressive” to the affluent community.

Here are the complaints, in the professor’s own words:

Obama Presidential Center is leaves no room to bring economic development:

Quote
The Obama Center as currently planned will not provide the promised development or economic benefits to the neighborhoods. Because the current plans place the Center next to the Museum of Science and Industry and across the street from the University of Chicago campus, there is no available adjacent land in which to start a new business, set up a new café or restaurant, bring another cultural center to the neighborhood. It looks to many neighbors that the only new jobs created will be as staff to the Obama Center, hence the widespread support for a Community Benefits Agreement

Someone needs to Photoshop a port-a-potty in there to replace that strange looking building.

Sure seems small, too, compared with other presidential libraries I have seen. I guess that is apropos - empty head, empty library.

Well, a monolith is better than a giant trailer, like the last Dem President.  I'll give it that.  I'll bet land in the middle of Chicago is a tad pricier than in Lil' Rock.

True. This one looks like something you'd see in North Africa.
