And as a former resident of that neighborhood, it wouldn't be built anyway. There are some actually really eccentric people in Gold Coast, but it's kind of on their personal lives and not necessarily with "allowing" something like this to be built. If that was proposed in areas like Pilsen, Logan Square, Wicker Park, West Loop, etc there'd be a much higher probability. Gold Coast? You'll run into some weird 50+ year old rich people at bars/restaurants sometimes but they still won't go for this.
I kind of think of this in terms in Manhattan/Brooklyn. This is something you'll see near Lower East Side or Williamsburg but not in Upper West Side (or UES) even though there's a bunch of artists (visual and music) living there. Like it would rarely happen there but Lower East Side or Williamsburg? Kind of the same, in a way, there too.
