Give me a break. Of course that's not what I'm saying.
My point is that there needs to be big box retail somewhere. I don't care where they put it or how it's integrated. If they can be pressured into doing something more urban, all the better.
The other point is, with idiot aldermen, bad planning, cheap developers, and no vision in this city, I am surprised we're even getting this much.
You call me an elitist when I advocate for good architecture, but you're expecting something like Skybridge on 80th Street? When's the last time you were down there? Good luck!
The primary goal of this development is surely to generate tax dollars and to enhance the desirability of the overall neighborhood for existing residents and those who would actually want to live in this area.
