Yeah... for the Boom Rundown at least, we tried to remedy that by putting a complete list of all proposals and U/C in the first post of the thread, so non-Chicagoans could see all of the major projects at once. But constantly editing that first post became a pain both for the OP and the mods.

The general developments thread was intended for neighborhood development and other sorts of small-scale projects where we can just discuss them casually without worrying about every little detail of financing drama and construction minutiae. We don't necessarily even follow projects from start to finish.

I approve of the Navy Pier thread, though. It's a big project with a well-known design team and it will become very visible and well-known, even to tourists. Part of the rationale for the revamp is to bring Chicagoans back to the pier, though.
