I hope that if this happens there isn't too much parking (esp since it's a block away from the red line). However, as we know, there could very well be no way to please the nimbys regardless. They can come up with endless excuses such as it doesnt fit the neighborhood to too many people living in wrigleyville. I, personally, have a problem with the possibility of not being able to see the city from the top concourse and upper deck. I always enjoy looking at the skyline at any time. That's why I prefer the taller structure, which wouldn't block the spectacular city views as much as this bulky, 9 story building. If wrigley was a residential structure, I'd say block all the views if possible, but it's a place open to the public for games, tours, and some other events. Just an opinion of mine that I'm sure people will disagree with me about. Just don't call me a nimby, because I'm certainly not.
