The scale of this proposal makes no sense from a planning standpoint. I can somewhat understand the City desperately trying for Amazon and so considering something questionable in case that moved forward. But when that doesn't happen, there is just no compelling reason for this scale in that location. It isn't as though the city has a shortage of underutilized land including even the Reese property which the City has a vested interest in seeing move forward.

It could be done but the very concept would be so immensely unwelcome that it would not matter if Armitage was 10 lanes wide.
On a different note I'm relatively sure that people will be pushing the Reese site on this board until the day I die. Reese is unlikely to become anything but market rate housing as land in the South Loop gets developed over the coming decades. Fin.
