Glad someone said something cause I don't see it either. Outside of the frat/sports bar atmosphere on a 2 or 3 block stretch of Clark St.
Seems like once a year one of these threads spirals into a discussion of what the "douchey-est" areas of the city is. Funny thing is all the areas, especially Lakeview, have everything the commentators on this forum advocate for. Density; New, thoughtful, Developments (highrise, midrise, lowrise, and single family); Investment in Public Transportation; and yes a vibrant nightlife complete with restaurants, theaters, clubs, and bars.

I'm with you. I don't think any other midwest cities would complain about the level of young Big Ten educated grads moving in...
