## Resource

Chicago’s film scene is roaring back, fueled by new tax credits that reward local talent and smaller indie crews, turning the city into a creative powerhouse once again. With record-breaking production spending and rising wages, the city’s cinematic revival is also tackling its housing crisis—through bold moves like YIGBY, which lets churches build homes on unused land, sparking debate over neighborhood priorities and safety. This dual push for artistic growth and urban renewal could redefine Chicago as a leader in both culture and community.
