this is true, but thats why speed tables are necessary. people can complain about them, but that would be an instant drag strip without them, esp with no cross streets

chicago has some of the least tree cover of any major us city. i can assure you we do not have a problem of too many trees, esp with whats being lost every year. its funny that vegetation and lushness is being positioned by some here as somehow not appropriate, since pretty much every desirable neighborhood in the world is well landscaped and shaded. i would just HATE to live in a neighborhood like this, wouldnt you? /s. if i have a criticism its that chicago consistently neglects the true potential of its parkways and boulevards. so yes, too much concrete, but for different reasons than i assume youre suggesting.
