A 5 minute walk from that photo, the main street becomes strictly residential. Residential-only streets aren't going to have people walking up and down them frequently by design.

You can walk on Kedzie and you'll still see people, then 1/2 mile over, you arrive to another street,

You can keep doing this for hours upon end in Chicago. It may not be people wall to wall, but its always enough to make it look alive.
