It's time for density. The city needs people. It needs density.

The fact that there is zero interest in voluntary, private development of the US Southworks site on beautiful lakefront land speaks volumes as to the problems that still plague Chicago.

Hell, they can't even get a shitty suburban style shopping center (A.K.A. the bottom-feeders of real estate development) built there. This is some sad shit...

if there was demand it would be getting built.
