Seneca Oaddams inside the two-flat he owns in the Roseland neighborhood on July 6, 2021. “I’m actually hopeful for the future,” Oaddams said. “I’m hopeful that it’s going to get better. … It needs to get better. Who doesn’t want to own property? Why not be able to help someone as well and lessen the load on your pocket with a building, so it’s a win-win for the renter and the tenant? The problem is when the rent can’t get paid.” (Antonio Perez / Chicago Tribune)
