No doubt that doesn't help, but it's also not a necessary ingredient.
The city of Chicago greenlights these fucking things in C and M districts all over town. Hell, there's even a pair of these god-awful double lane drive-thru monstrosities in the heart of rivernorth!! (a McD's and a Portillo's).

Yeah, I can see how it feels that way with all the recent articles about the city's moribund office market, but I didn't post this one to pile on, I just can't fucking stand these things, and how Chicago continues allowing them to get built, and this article came across my feed and fanned my flames.
The fact that the author was inspired to write about this topic by a trip to st. louis was not me trying to pick at scabs. These fucking things are an ever-growing nation-wide cancer.
