Housing rules on DeKalb's agenda
DeKALB – Myron Myers says his neighborhood in the historic district in the city's Fifth Ward has deteriorated since he moved there in 1993.
Myers, a professor of voice and diction at Northern Illinois University's School of Music, said there used to be a balance between homeowners and rental housing in the area. But now, most of the residents are renting the single-family homes.
Myers says there has been an increase in drug and gang activity, in addition to large alcohol-fueled parties.
