Great point.
I'm a big fan of the "If you build it, they will come philosophy" Families get richer, they look to move up in the world. They make room at the bottom for new guys to come in. Thats how this whole system is supposed to work. Its very clear something amazing is going on in Chicago. I think it will pull through. *insert Burnham quote*
However, I'd really like to see the towers combined... Going to happen, likely no, but I'd like to see Sears topped...again (North of the River)
also: WHY IS THIS DIRECTLY BEHIND THE SPIRE! How can we hide supertalls? Carley should but the little tower by the River and the big guy by River East Center so we can see it from the lake.
