These Frank Lloyd Wright Houses Will Be Demolished | How "Shape Oak Park" Will Destroy the Village

Oak Park, Illinois holds 25 Frank Lloyd Wright buildings, the largest concentration of his work anywhere on earth. A zoning rewrite now moving through the village would legalize apartment buildings by right on the single family lots those houses sit on. This video is an opinion and commentary piece about the Shape Oak Park zoning proposal. When it says Frank Lloyd Wright houses will be demolished, it is predicting what the proposed zoning would allow over time, not reporting that any demolition has been planned or announced. As the video explicitly explains, nobody at Village Hall is proposing to tear down a Wright house, and the danger is that rezoning makes demolition something the market delivers. The houses shown are examples of the architecture at stake, and their appearance does not mean they are for sale or that their owners plan to sell.
