If we continue to build low rise housing in all available areas, then DT will quickly become unaffordable for the grand scale this blog purports to support. This is a skyscraper page, not an "It's five stories, where is the retail?" page.

You must be new to SA. It's not exactly a skyscraper town....
Seriously though, I'd love to see some high rises in river north (and myabe that 1700 Broadway project will have a high rise component), but I don't think the area is ready for it. If you plopped a high rise down anywhere that isn't directly on the river, it would just kind of be in its own little bubble for the most part since the majority of land use in the area is still light industrial.
