That would be nice but even more sense midrises would be cool too. I could see the whole Reese redevelopment and even The 78 potentially being a catalyst for even more development.

Places in Lakeview are semi cheap compared to the coasts but not totally cheap.. Places in Bronzeville now are half or even better of those areas.

Who knows what will happen but will be interesting. I want to say that crime in Bronzeville started to stabilize in the last handful of years but this year in the overall area for murders is definitely up. Probably need to address these things before you see some big time development like other areas saw in the last decade.
