Jesus F-ing C, I cannot believe people are thick-skulled enough to be tearing down more buildings when there is an apartment shortage (esp. in River North) and plenty of people willing to live in converted lofts. And we all know that NIMBYs will use a "loss of parking" claim if anyone ever tries to develop this this site...

I suppose I can take solace that it is at least far from the loop and won't hurt the walk-ability as you get towards the river, but seriously guys.
