No. I never mentioned, or posted, Dearborn Park. The linked streetscape was not Dearborn Park.

Most of the South Loop consists of quiet side streets, and those are the most desirable streets for families. Streets like State and Wabash are unpleasant and unattractive, generally.

That portion of State Street sucks. It has a giant L running alongside, and is dirty and noisy. Families aren't gonna live there. Dearborn Park (again, not what we're talking about) has a number of dense, urban midrise towers, actually. I ate at an Indian restaurant at the base of one of these towers. The areas west of Dearborn Park are just railroad tracks and strip malls.

If you dislike the townhouses of the South Loop, you must hate Lincoln Park, Lakeview, Wicker Park and Bucktown. The family oriented streets in those neighborhoods are even less intense.

NIMBYs suck, but that's what you get with families.
