I remember visiting Chicago as a 17 year old HS senior. The first time I saw those row homes I remember thinking, "wow, how cool"... what a nice break in the forest. I also remember thinking how special Chicago is... what a city!... to have such a mix of high and low, old and new, density and respites. I just thought those row homes were the coolest thing.
Make no mistake, these row homes and their particular placement in this part of the city makes them special. I would personally hate to see them go but if they have to go, it must be for a design worthy of losing this special piece of Chicago history.
This current, cheap looking, Houstonian/Dallas design is simply not worth what we will be losing.
