I'm sorry, but I am thoroughly unconvinced. There is simply zero precedent to build 3000 units in 1 neighborhood in 3 years by 1 developer at this point in time.

I hope to be proven wrong by how things play out this summer. Trust me (as a Chicago landlord).
I reluctantly (because I want it to be true) agree, building 3000 units in one neighborhood would have been crazy ambitious even before the pandemic...

I’m pretty “extroverted” but have been loving remote work. I get plenty of socialization with my actual friends and family now instead of forced socialization via meetings and cubicle mates all without the added pleasure of a tedious commute and montonous schedules. I suppose it depends on your actual job—the nature of mine allows me to be pretty flexible with my daily routine now that I’m at home. I might be singing a different tune if I was truly locked to my laptop for zoom meetings for a normal 8-5 workday. I truly can’t/won’t ever go back to normal office life, even if it means finding a new job or even career.
