Oak Park’s Shape Oak Park debate must confront an unavoidable fact: The economics do not work as presently proposed. The village’s financial feasibility study concludes that the proposed zoning changes are unlikely to produce near-term development without incentives or reduced costs.

At typical acquisition prices, the neighborhood gaps rise from $460,000 to $570,000.
