i don't think so.
Have you seen the amount of TOD construction going on in Elmhurst? Just saying it's taking full advantage of its Metra stop, not to mention being relatively close-in to the Loop, whether by transit or even <gasp> car.

Perhaps it's just that it's one of the suburbs I'm most familiar with, having spent a decent amount of time out there due to a few breweries/brewpubs I really like.
