Ferk and Bigelow on Time.com

Congratulations to Eric Ferkenhoff and Matt Bigelow for their Time.com piece. (Ferk is a professor at the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University and Bigs is a classmate of mine.)
The piece addresses an interesting question: Can Mayor Richard M. Daley make true on his pledge to end homelessness in Chicago by 2012? If he can accomplish this, the Chicago 2016 bid has a hell of a chance.
Daley’s plan - build housing for Chicagoans who earn less than the $75,000 median household income. But is this threshold low enough?
Several months ago, I worked on a video piece about CPAN (Chicago Partnership for Affordable Neighborhoods) housing, which is an attempt to build and sell condos in decent areas for less-than-market rates. But it must not be working.
Here’s the piece:
