You want to build a new downtown? Choose a site that's served by transit.

You know, I find that you're usually a bit too NIMBY for my tastes, but I kind of agree with you on this one.
Sterling Yards seems to be hell bent on cannibalizing other parts of the city with this, and are even cannibalizing their own efforts in the West Loop, by trying to create this district. And no, they have done nothing to address transit access.
I for one really don't care if Lincoln Yards goes anywhere or stays on the drawing board for another few decades. There are more exciting things going on elsewhere in the city and I think we can do without this.
