I'm not picking on you, but I hear a lot of complaints about "fultonization" and it grinds my gears. What they hell do we want to happen to our cities?
If you asked me what the ideal development pattern for Chicago would be I would say, "Umm... high density, high intensity mixed use development paralleling transit infrastructure in Loop adjacent neighborhoods coupled with historic preservation and pedestrian focus a half block offset from the new construction corridor?"
Sure the new stuff looks of a time and place, but it's almost all pretty-to-very high quality design and materials with massing that doesn't ruin the street environment. We should be so lucky all over, all the time.
