The area is popular with people who want to live somewhere convenient, but quiet -- young families, retirees. The older condo buildings on Randolph (400 E. Randolph, Harbor Point) are particularly popular with retirees. A lot of those people would probably be actively opposed to more public transport.

400 E. Randolph fascinates me when you consider that it was the first building built in what would be later called Lakeshore East. How people lived there when it was first built is beyond me.

Who was living here at that time?
