The old municipal building is apartments now at 1501 Oak Street, Evanston, but is not blighted. As per typical of affluent communities and middle-class do-gooders, the higher cost of property where they lived insulated them from experiencing the changes they advocated for everyone else.
The damage done by racial integration was paid for by the working-class Germans and Irish on Chicago's south and west sides. Those neighborhoods are now uninhabitable and those families long gone. Evanston is still as nice as ever but they were never forced to endure the effects of their own policies.
