The west and south of sears needs beefing up, and the people who own sears have plenty of other options within 1-2 blocks to develop something spectacular. I don't care how good any proposal is for this site, it's plain stupid to put another building there. Build 20 highrises on every block of the city for all I care, but don't cram them too close to architectural masterpieces. Wrigley, Hancock, Tribune, sears, and others have breathing room for people to appreciate them- I sometimes even wish that aon had more room on all sides so I could enjoy the verticality of it even more than I already do. Maybe I'm an anti-density nimby bitch for saying that, but I've always loved the space sears has around it for all visitors from around the world to appreciate the scale and grandness of this monster.
