Wasn't it ardecila that said the 78 had a better location? They're both two of my favorite posters, so I'm fine agreeing with either. I think Lincoln Yards and the north branch in general are well suited for robotics/AI labs and start-ups. I'm imagining a live-work district with showrooms for the public to check out emerging technology and buy stuff. That may slow or prevent the mega developments from taking hold. I don't see how these areas are attractive to major corporations without major infrastructure improvements. Even then it's hard to see how it competes with the 78 site. Interestingly enough, it's the same distance between Goose Island and Ogilvie as it is between the 78 and Ogilvie (1.4 mi). Union is a bit closer to the 78.
