What do the Metropolis Principles Say?
The Metropolis Principles for Livable Communities Preamble We employ people who live and work in the Chicago metropolitan region. We are finding it harder and harder to find, attract and keep quality employees. Many of our employees are finding their commutes to and from work are taking more time, are adding more stress to their lives, and are affecting their work. We are concerned about the growing mismatch between job growth and affordable housing. We feel that to keep our region economically viable, we must actively encourage communities to provide a variety of housing for all people who live and work in the community. We must also encourage the same communities to provide viable transportation alternatives for working people.
