A group opposing “fair share” housing legislation has sprung up on the North Shore, according to the Tribune (in an article by Trine Tsouderos, who covers development in the suburbs). Rob Faurot from Wilmette, president of New Trier Neighbors, says: “Our answer is if you want those sorts of things and the home values in the town that you live are too expensive . . . the options are you have to move somewhere else or you have to make more money.”

Oh, sure. It’s really easy to just “make more money.” If that’s the case, then, Mr. Faurot, can we raise your taxes so that the rest of us can shoulder that social burden for you?
