Lakefront is indeed solid gold (unless between I-55 and Hyde Park), but you really think it's more appealing to live in the South Loop than to live along the river literally in between Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, and downtown?

I cannot refute your last statement comparing the appeal of the LY development area including Lincoln Park, and Wicker Park communities with the South Loop. I can only add that the South Loop is rapidly trending upward, and with developments like NEMA, and if the new Lakefront proposal becomes a reality, it brings them closer to LY area appeal.
