Yes. When I first started working in the Loop, back in 1995, there were many, many options for a solid $5-6 lunch. Now there are very few options - you almost have to dumb down the meaning of lunch to have options at that price point. Even at McDonalds you have to stick to the basics to stay under $6.

* Lakeview: 99,876 people | +2686 people compared to 2010 ACS
* Near North Side: 86,343 people | +10,124 people

Looks like a good chance of Lakeview clearing 100k in 2020. Not impossible for Near North to, too, although 2030 should see Near North north of 100k even if it doesn't quite make it there in 2020. I kind of think Near North will be very close to 100k in the actual Census, seeing as in 2010 they grew by about 10,000 overall despite losing almost 10,000 public housing residents. Having far fewer public housing residents to lose after 2010, all this new growth in housing stock since 2010 should go straight to the final tally instead of having to stare down depopulating public housing. By 2030 the Cabrini area will hopefully be fully built out, too. And who knows, maybe there will even somehow be a Larrabee-Clinton Street subway at least started by then.
