Lol, maybe this street is a magical corridor where anyone can propose anything

That's an astute observation. Part of the magic of Chicago avenue, besides easy access to both the Red and Brown/Purple lines, is that current occupants include a lot of groups that wouldn't be bothered by tall buildings - Moody's, rental towers like Astoria Plaza, the recently-converted Bush Temple of Music, etc. Can you think of a condo tower association that would be upset about the height of this proposal along Chicago Ave.? I can't.
