It's too bad that townhomes are getting built at the X/O site. A fitting conclusion to any NIMBY-led insurgence against density is for a big, huge tower to be ramrodded down their throats, a reminder that the city is eternal and that human beings & sunshine are forever worthless. What happened at Wolf Point, or the 3740 N Halsted tower in Lakeview come to mind.

Agreed; I am really disappointed that more highly valuable downtown real estate, next to the lakefront and McCormick Place, will be developed as townhomes that we shall be stuck with for years to come. We might, just might match the density of the block from circa 1880 with this project.
