Like you said though, it's absolutely absurd and asinine.

Well, keeping the area as low-rise will at least make it easier in another 30-40 years when they have to thread more rail tracks through the area because Union Station and the Green/Pink Lines are completely at capacity. They already did an engineering study about digging a tunnel below the midrises at Fulton/Clinton. Any new highrises will have a forest of deep foundations that can't be tunneled through.
