Not so fast. While I generally agree that there is an aura of suck happening here (this is Wheeling, IL, USA)... I don't think it rises to shit level. Shit level is very specific, like a mini-strip mall set back from the streetwall on Milw Ave with a parking lot out front, or well, anything with EIFS. While this has some flaws, I don't think it's bad, especially considering the context. If we're all holding out hope for Wheeling, IL, USA to urbanize, perhaps we need to set our sights on something more obtainable.
