^ Well that's where the transit hub comes in. I think they realize that Soldier Field and McCormick Place aren't enough to sustain a big lifestyle center, and if they propose something too auto-oriented the neighbors will kill it because of the traffic.
But like, why even do a lifestyle center? Just keep this as a residential-focused development with a few retail options. Lakeshore East is a good model here, there's a grocery store, a coffee shop, a cleaners and a few restaurants.
