Agroup of leftist students at the University of Chicago are demanding their university pay over $1 billion in reparations to Chicago’s South Side residents for displacing black people living in the area. There’s just one problem: The university, which has been located in Chicago’s Hyde Park since 1890, is not what’s displacing the residents. It is Barack Obama and his presidential center that have caused the median home price to more than double in the South Side, forcing people to leave the area.

Obama claims that his $500 million presidential center, scheduled to be complete in 2025, will change Chicago’s Woodlawn and South Shore neighborhoods for the better, but residents told The Federalist that isn’t true.

“I just think it’s a crime,” said one resident. “Black Americans are not going to be able to afford to live over here [because] property tax is gonna be higher.”
