100% agree, that whole elston/clybourn corridor near the river and north center/roscoe village are the worst offenders. I'm from Atlanta, which is peak r/suburbanhell, but atleast in in-town neighborhoods, yeah there'd be surface parking, but the new retail would be mixed use with apartments on top.

I wonder whose the alderman that okay'd this, it's a nasty look. Bulldoze that whole section of the street, both sides. Chicago can do much better. No bike lanes, just straight up suburban development. Reminds me of this tweet.
