But, ya know, planning....Chicago....don’t usually belong in the same sentence....

Really the office explosion in the fulton market doesnt make sense and was unforseen by few outside of sterling bay. The catalyst was the Morgan St station and the rehab of the cold storage bldg for Google. But the advent of uber made quick trips from the Metra stations and neighborhoods like WP Ukranian Village, Logan, UIC feasible. Also the new larger office developments have large amounts of parking. I suspect there will be even more complaints on traffic when these bldgs fill up with tenants and the ride share traffic increases.
